Medical Xpress / Activity of large-scale cortical networks follows cyclical pattern, study finds
The human brain can concurrently support a wide range of advanced mental functions, including attention, memory and the processing of sensory stimuli. While past neuroscience studies have gathered valuable insight into the ...
Phys.org / Rare-earth tritellurides reveal a hidden ferroaxial order of electronic origin
The discovery of "hidden orders," organization patterns in materials that cannot be detected using conventional measurement tools, can yield valuable insight, which can in turn support the design of new materials with advantageous ...
Phys.org / Hybridization of interlayer excitons in bilayer semiconductor hints at many-body state
Excitons, bound states between an electron (i.e., a negatively charged particle) and a hole (i.e., the absence of an electron) in materials, are a key focus of condensed matter physics studies. These bound states can give ...
Phys.org / Plasmon effects in neutron star magnetospheres could pose new limits on the detection of axions
Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. As it cannot be detected and studied using conventional experimental techniques, ...
Tech Xplore / Compact phononic circuits guide sound at gigahertz frequencies for chip-scale devices
Phononic circuits are emerging devices that can manipulate sound waves (i.e., phonons) in ways that resemble how electronic circuits control the flow of electrons. Instead of relying on wires, transistors and other common ...
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 ...
