Yardeni urges investors to stay the course as U.S. stocks are still in meltup mode
At least one veteran market strategist thinks the market is still in the midst of an extended meltup, despite the recent gyrations, and says things can only improve going forward. “We remain in record high territory with a significant move higher since early February following the mini-meltdown prior to that,” Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni […]
Experiment obtains entanglement of six light waves with a single laser
Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961), one of the giants of contemporary science, considered entanglement the most interesting property in quantum mechanics. In his view, it was this phenomenon that truly distinguished the quantum world from the classical world. Entanglement occurs when groups of particles or waves are created or interact in such a way that […]
An easy way for investors to buy protection: Consider value stocks with high dividend yields
Financial headlines are usually focused on high-flying tech stocks or dire warnings of a market crash. We cannot predict when any big market drop will happen, but diversifying part of your portfolio away from the big tech names that weigh so heavily on indexes can lower your investment risk. And high-dividend yields make it much […]
The reality of quantum computing could be just three years away

Nanotechnology in Computer Science – Where is it Present?
To keep pace with the constant miniaturization of computer chips, transistors must have increasingly smaller features. Unfortunately, according to experts, silicon begins to run out of steam at around five nanometers. A nanoscale semiconductor with advantageous electronic qualities might be used to make transistors in next-generation computers. The use of carbon nanotubes is one technology […]
