Quantum computing breakthrough
Like the title says. The team has succeeded in building a controlled NOT gate operating on two qubits.
Unfortunately, estimates for the development of a usable quantum computer are given as "between 10 and 100 years." (On the bright side, at least, that will give us some time to develop communication security that isn't based on the difficulty of factoring primes.)
