Phys.org / Superconducting quantum processor performs well with significantly less wiring
Quantum computers, computing systems that process information using quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers on some computational tasks. These computers rely on qubits, the basic units of quantum ...
Medical Xpress / Changes in protein production linked to autism-like behavior in mice
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in how people interact or communicate with others, as well as restricted interests and repetitive patterns of behavior. Past studies ...
Medical Xpress / How groups of neurons support the formation of memories
Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of memories for over a century. Past studies suggest that memories are stored by groups of brain cells ...
Phys.org / A Hall 'rectenna' can detect signals over a 100 GHz frequency range
Many current wireless communication, imaging and sensing technologies rely on components that convert oscillating electric and magnetic fields (i.e., electromagnetic waves) into electrical signals. Some of the most used components ...
Phys.org / Novel approach allows studying the DNA of otters without disturbing them
Studying endangered animal species without disturbing them and disrupting their natural habitat could be highly advantageous, as it would contribute to their protection and prevent unnecessary stress. Conventional methods ...
Phys.org / Altered colony chemistry reveals a process that destroys termite societies
Several insect species, including ants, honeybees and termites, live in highly organized societies, also known as social insect colonies. Insects living in these colonies can take on different roles, such as reproducing, ...
Medical Xpress / The epigenetics of trauma: 86 miRNAs linked to PTSD symptom severity and social adversity
Adverse childhood experiences and traumatic events experienced or witnessed at any point during one's lifetime can sometimes prompt the emergence of some mental health disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) ...
Tech Xplore / Highly performing AI agents can still fail to spot deception, study finds
Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence systems that can process and generate texts in different languages, are now used daily by many people worldwide. As these models can rapidly source information and create ...
Medical Xpress / An immune signaling pathway drives pain in arthritis, researchers discover
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This disease prompts the immune system to mistakenly attack body tissues, particularly joints, leading to inflammation, swelling, ...
Phys.org / A new entanglement-enhanced quantum sensing scheme
Over the past decades, quantum scientists have introduced various technologies that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, including quantum sensors, computers and memory devices. Most of these technologies leverage ...
Phys.org / Microwave quantum network shows resilience against heat-related disturbances
Quantum communication systems are emerging solutions to transmit information between devices in a network leveraging quantum mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement. Entanglement is a quantum effect that entails a link ...
Medical Xpress / Trends in youth mental health from 1990 to 2021 reveal a pandemic-era surge
Adolescence, the stage of development between childhood and adulthood, is characterized by many profound physical, mental, and emotional changes. During this critical stage, young people can experience various difficulties ...
Medical Xpress / Why some moments endure: Episodic memory encoding fluctuates with brain's theta rhythms
For almost a century, psychologists and neuroscientists have been trying to understand how humans memorize different types of information, ranging from knowledge or facts to the recollection of important events. Past studies ...
Phys.org / Nanoengineered spintronic device can store data in four different ways
Over the past decades, electronics engineers have been trying to develop increasingly smaller devices that can store information reliably, even when they are not powered on. A promising type of non-volatile memory device ...
Phys.org / Do political social media ads influence the outcome of elections?
Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram and X, are accessed daily by millions of people worldwide. In the weeks or months leading up to elections, many political parties use social media platforms as part of their ...
