Medical Xpress / Largest genetic study to date identifies 13 new DNA regions linked to dyslexia
Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental condition estimated to affect between 5–10% of people living in most countries, irrespective of their educational and cultural background. Dyslexic individuals experience persistent difficulties ...
Phys.org / A scalable and accurate tool to characterize entanglement in quantum processors
Quantum computers, computing systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers in various optimization and computational tasks.
Medical Xpress / Spider-inspired magnetic soft robots could perform minimally invasive gastrointestinal tract procedures
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a collection of organs and structures inside the bodies of humans and other animals that is responsible for the digestion of food, the absorption of nutrients and the expulsion of waste. ...
Phys.org / Universal scheme efficiently generates arbitrary two-qubit gates in superconducting quantum processors
The operation of quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, relies on the implementation of quantum logic gates. These are essentially operations that manipulate qubits, units ...
Phys.org / Scalable strategy produces high-quality black phosphorus nanoribbons for electronics
Black phosphorus nanoribbons (BPNRs), thin and narrow ribbon-like strips of black phosphorus, are known to exhibit highly advantageous electronic properties, including a tunable bandgap. This essentially means that the energy ...
Medical Xpress / Study identifies genetic loci that link brain structure and various psychiatric disorders
The development of many psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is known to be in great part influenced by genetics. Past research has identified various genes that appear to be associated ...
Tech Xplore / A biocompatible and stretchable transistor for implantable devices
Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of advanced biomedical devices that could be implanted inside the human body. These devices could be used to monitor biological signals that ...
Phys.org / Single device amplifies signals while shielding qubits from unwanted noise
Quantum computing, an approach to deriving information that leverages quantum mechanical effects, relies on qubits, quantum units of information that can exist in superpositions of states. To effectively perform quantum computing, ...
Tech Xplore / Biohybrid crawlers can be controlled using optogenetic techniques
The body movements performed by humans and other animals are known to be supported by several intricate biological and neural mechanisms. While roboticists have been trying to develop systems that emulate these mechanisms ...
Phys.org / Trilayer moiré superlattices unlock tunable control of exciton configurations
Moiré superlattices are periodic patterns formed when two or more thin semiconducting layers are stacked with a small twist angle or lattice mismatch. When 2D materials form these patterns, their electronic, mechanical, and ...
Tech Xplore / Soft magnetoelastic sensor measures fatigue from eyeball movements in real-time
Over the past few decades, electronics engineers have developed increasingly sophisticated sensors that can reliably measure a wide range of physiological signals, including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate and ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic deletion in cerebellum impedes hemisphere formation, study finds
The cerebellum, a brain region located at the back of the head that has long been known to support the coordination of muscle movements, has recently also been implicated in more sophisticated mental functions. Purkinje cells ...
Phys.org / QROCODILE experiment advances search for dark matter using superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
Over the past decades, many research teams worldwide have been trying to detect dark matter, an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, using a variety of highly sensitive detectors. Ultimately, ...
Medical Xpress / Distinct psilocybin-induced oscillations observed in rat medial prefrontal cortex, with effects lasting days
Psychedelics, a class of psychoactive drugs that typically induce peculiar mental states and hallucinations, are still prohibited for recreational use in most countries worldwide. In recent years, some neuroscientists and ...
Phys.org / Physicists demonstrate controlled expansion of quantum wavepacket in a levitated nanoparticle
Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also have wave-like properties. These properties can be represented using the wave function, a mathematical ...
