Medical Xpress / Watching live sports together boosts oxytocin and synchronizes heartbeats, study finds
Social connections are known to contribute greatly to people's psychological and emotional well-being. In fact, difficulties socializing and bonding with others have been linked to various psychiatric conditions, including ...
Phys.org / Nanoparticles could remove harmful immune molecules from blood
The immune system, the body's defense network against infections and injuries, can sometimes become too active. In these cases, it can produce too many immune mediators, fragments of genetic material or proteins that regulate ...
Phys.org / How quantum circuits based on neutral atoms could find and fix errors
Quantum computers, devices that process information by leveraging the laws of quantum mechanics, have been found to outperform classical computers in some advanced tasks. Instead of storing information in the form of classical ...
Medical Xpress / What people look at most reflects their brains' specialization
While people explore the environment around them, their eyes constantly move between different objects, faces and other specific segments of a visual scene. This dynamic process allows them to prioritize visual information ...
Phys.org / A scheme to verify gates of a quantum computer without examining devices
Quantum computers, systems that process information using the principles of quantum mechanics, could solve some problems that cannot be tackled by the classical computers currently used worldwide. Despite their potential, ...
Tech Xplore / New zinc slurry battery could store clean energy for longer
Solar panels, wind turbines and other renewable energy technologies are becoming increasingly widespread worldwide. Most of these technologies generate electricity from natural sources, such as sunlight and wind, which are ...
Phys.org / Quantum teleportation could reduce photon loss in long-distance communications
Quantum technologies, which leverage the principles of quantum mechanics, have been found to outperform their classical counterparts on specific tasks. Among other things, past studies have highlighted the potential of quantum ...
Phys.org / Tunas and other ocean predators may have evolved more slowly than previous research predicted
Today, oceans host a large variety of fast, resilient marine predators, including tunas, mackerels and various other fish species. Many of these fish belong to a lineage known as Scombridae, whose members are characterized ...
Phys.org / Model highlights patterns in how humans move across different locations
Every day, billions of people travel from their homes to work, schools, health care facilities, restaurants, public venues and other destinations. The complex patterns that shape how people move between these different locations ...
Phys.org / Quantum-gravitational mechanism could explain the universe's homogeneity
Our universe is known to be remarkably homogeneous and isotropic. This essentially means that matter is distributed evenly throughout the universe and that it looks almost the same in all directions.
Tech Xplore / A method to create fault-tolerant analog in-memory computing systems
Conventional computers process and store information using separate components, known as a processor and memory unit. Because transferring data from one component to the other can be energy-consuming, many electronics engineers ...
Tech Xplore / New catalyst could enable safer electrolyzers for clean hydrogen production
Hydrogen could serve as a clean alternative to fossil fuels because, when used as a fuel, it produces water vapor instead of carbon dioxide (CO2). This cleaner fuel has proved particularly promising for the creation of so-called ...
Medical Xpress / The same sounds are mapped similarly in the human and mouse brain, study finds
While exploring the world around them, both humans and other animals continuously interpret information they pick up with their sight, hearing, touch and other senses. Neuroscience research suggests that the brain does not ...
Medical Xpress / Brain glutamate changes could link cannabis use to a higher risk of psychosis
Cannabis, commonly known as marijuana, is a plant that contains psychoactive compounds that can temporarily alter people's brain activity and perceptions. While the consumption of this plant for medical or recreational purposes ...
Phys.org / Darwin's 150‑year‑old hillside steps mystery may have a new answer from virtual grazing animals
Steep hillsides and mountainsides in many regions worldwide are often covered in characteristic step-like patterns, also known as terracettes. These repeating landforms have fascinated scientists for more than a century, ...
