Phys.org / Cross-country study gathers new insight about the psychology of social class
Understanding the effects of social class on people's attitudes, thoughts, feelings and behaviors could have valuable implications, as it could help to tailor social and behavioral interventions around the unique psychological ...
Phys.org / Modular network offers fault-tolerant scaling of superconducting qubit devices
Quantum computers, devices that can perform computations relying on the principles of quantum mechanics, are expected to outperform classical computers on some types of optimization and processing tasks. While physicists ...
Phys.org / Rigid and negative thought patterns linked to increasing political polarization online
The ideological divide between opposing political groups has been drastically increasing in various countries worldwide. This phenomenon, known as political polarization, can lead to greater social division, extremism and ...
Medical Xpress / How the brain stores 'unattended' information: Neuronal firing disproves activity-silent hypothesis
Understanding how the human brain stores information and later uses it to complete various tasks has been a long-standing goal of neuroscience and psychology research. Past studies have identified different types of memory ...
Phys.org / Simulating the Hawking effect and other quantum field theory predictions with polariton fluids
Quantum field theory (QFT) is a physics framework that describes how particles and forces behave based on principles rooted in quantum mechanics and Albert Einstein's special relativity theory. This framework predicts the ...
Phys.org / IceCube neutrino search sets first constraints on proton fraction of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays
Neutrinos are subatomic particles with no charge and very little mass that are known to weakly interact with other matter in the universe. Due to their weak interactions with other particles, these particles are notoriously ...
Phys.org / A new method to measure ultrafast relaxation processes in single molecules
Quantum stochastic rectification is a process observed in some physical systems, which entails the conversion of random quantum fluctuations (i.e., quantum noise) and a small oscillating signal, such as a weak alternating ...
Medical Xpress / Study maps changes in brain's 'neural noise' from childhood to adulthood
For over a century, neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand the neurophysiological mechanisms underpinning the human brain's development from birth to late adulthood. While past studies have shed ...
Phys.org / New approach to engineering crumpled GO membranes for separating hydrogen and other gases
The reliable separation of some gases from others could be highly advantageous for a wide range of applications. For instance, it could help to produce hydrogen (H2) for fuel cells and chemical applications or to capture ...
Phys.org / Researchers uncover a topological excitonic insulator with a tunable momentum order
Topological materials are a class of materials that exhibit unique electronic properties at their boundary (surface in 3D materials; edge in 2D materials) that are robust against imperfections or disturbances and are markedly ...
Medical Xpress / Human CLOCK gene enhances brain connectivity and mental flexibility in mice, study finds
Clock genes are a set of genes known to contribute to the regulation of the human body's internal 24-hour cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm. One of these genes is the so-called CLOCK gene, a protein that regulates ...
Tech Xplore / A human-inspired pathfinding approach to improve robot navigation
For robots to be successfully introduced in a wider range of real-world settings, they should be able to safely and reliably navigate rapidly changing environments. While roboticists and computer scientists have introduced ...
Phys.org / New scheme mitigates self-discharging in quantum batteries
Quantum batteries (QBs) are energy storage devices that could serve as an alternative to classical batteries, potentially charging faster and enabling the extraction of more energy. In contrast with existing batteries, these ...
Tech Xplore / New memristor-based system could boost processing of radiofrequency signals
The development of more advanced technologies to process radiofrequency signals could further advance wireless communication, allowing devices connected to the internet to share information with each other faster and while ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic variants linked with higher risk of developing bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, with alternating periods of depression and manic episodes. Past research suggests that bipolar disorder has a strong genetic component and ...
