Quantum entanglement achieved at room temperature in macroscopic semiconductor wafers

I haven't had particularly high expectations of quantum computing, but advances like this keep popping up and moving the process forward:

This awesome DIY railgun fires rounds with 27,000 joules of force

You NEED this for home defense. If your neighbor bought a tank....

http://www.engadget.com/2015/11/09/this-awesome-diy-railgun-fires-rounds-with-27-000-joules-of-forc/

27,000 joules equates to 19,914 foot pounds energy. To put that into perspective, a .50 BMG (the round used in the vehicle-mounted M2 heavy machine gun and the massive Barrett M82 sniper rifle) generates a maximum of "only" 15,000 fpe. But possibly the most powerful (and totally impractical) rifle round is the .905, with up to 38,700 fpe...or about as much as a 20mm Vulcan cannon round.
