To adapt mortar to new building materials and industrial methods, the content in walls and plaster changed during the 20th century. The change meant that knowledge of historical materials and methods for producing mortar were lost. New research reveals that historical binding agents and mortar can be produced and used in present-day plaster restorations.

Researchers have created a quantum circuit that enables them to listen to the weakest radio signal allowed by quantum mechanics. This new quantum circuit opens the door to possible future applications in areas such as radio astronomy and medicine (MRI). It also enables researchers to do experiments that can shed light on the interplay between quantum mechanics and gravity.

SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son said the $100 billion Vision Fund has already invested about $70 billion of its money and could make even more bets in the future.
Combining an atomically thin graphene and a boron nitride layer at a slightly rotated angle changes their electrical properties. Physicists have now shown for the first time the combination with a third layer can result in new material properties also in a three-layer sandwich of carbon and boron nitride. This significantly increases the number of potential synthetic materials.

British MP Damian Collins, an outspoken Facebook critic, said it would be understandable if people do not trust Zuckerberg's "sudden change of heart" in advocating for more privacy on the company's platforms.
People should brace themselves for the proliferation of artificial intelligence as it will change the way we live within three decades, according to SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son.
