Transcript. Welcome to “What’s Up With Water,” your need-to-know news of the world’s water from Circle of Blue. I’m Eileen Wray-McCann. In Syria, a strategically important dam that was supposed to be protected from airstrikes was in fact the target of a U.S. bombing campaign during the war against Islamic State. The New York Times reports that a top secret special operations unit in the Defense Department bombed the Tabqa Dam on March 26, 2017.

To head off disastrous climate change, we need to radically transform the modern energy system. We must largely move beyond the use of fire, the first and most important of inventions. The core energy technology used by humans has always involved, in one form or another, burning things up. To a large extent, combatting climate change will mean bringing this long era to an end.

Until recently, my knowledge of krill has been limited to the fact that they’re the primary diet for some of the more charismatic ocean critters like penguins, seals and baleen whales. But these tiny planktonic crustaceans are so much more than just whale food! Norwegian for “small fry of fish” (I know—not a great start), these transparent-bodied crustaceans average about two inches in length and are found in large swarms which help protect them against predators.

Physicists have measured long-range quantum entanglement in special, topologically ordered phases of matter for the first time. This feat, which was achieved independently by two research groups using coupled superconducting circuits and arrays of atoms, could aid the development of robust memories for quantum computers. When certain materials are cooled to extremely low temperatures, exotic phases of matter appear.

Quantum dots have many applications, but they would be even more useful if the light they emit wasn’t so blinking random. Thanks to researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), this goal is now within reach. By finding a means of keeping quantum dots from blinking on and off – a problem that has blighted these nanoscale chunks of semiconducting material since their discovery – the MIT team paved the way for new, precision applications, including single-photon sources for quant

An important threshold in quantum error correction has been reached using silicon-based qubits. The feat was performed by three independent research groups, who used the spins of individual electrons or nuclei to create quantum logic gates, which carried out operations with over 99% fidelity. Silicon is widely used in the microelectronics industry, so this development could lead to quantum computers based on the large-scale integration of silicon devices.
