Phys.org / Scientists succeed in trapping molecules to perform quantum operations for the first time
Molecules haven't been used in quantum computing, even though they have the potential to make the ultra-high-speed experimental technology even faster. Their rich internal structures were seen as too complicated, too delicate, ...
Phys.org / Melting temperature and phase stability of iron under core-like conditions shed light on Earth's geodynamics
Iron is one of the main elements found in the Earth's inner core, which is characterized by extremely high temperatures and pressures. Determining how iron behaves in these extreme conditions could thus help to advance the ...
Medical Xpress / Why our biological clock ticks: Research reconciles major theories of aging
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have published results that shed new light on an old question: what causes aging at the molecular level? Their findings, published in Nature Aging, describe ...
Phys.org / Improved radon gas mapping finds nearly 25% of Americans living in highest risk areas
Researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health have assembled a national database with millions of multi-day indoor radon measurements from 2001 to 2021. Findings reveal that nearly 25% of the U.S. population ...
Phys.org / Illuminating an asymmetric gap in a topological antiferromagnet
Topological insulators (TIs) are among the hottest topics in condensed matter physics today. They're a bit strange: Their surfaces conduct electricity, yet their interiors do not, instead acting as insulators. Physicists ...
Phys.org / Building sentence structure may be language-specific, brain activity study finds
Do speakers of different languages build sentence structure in the same way? In a neuroimaging study published in PLOS Biology, scientists from the Max Planck institute for Psycholinguistics, Donders Institute and Radboud ...
Tech Xplore / Plastic supercapacitors could solve energy storage problems
Plastics have shaped our modern world and changed the way we live. For decades, they have been primarily used in electronics for their excellent insulating properties. But in the 1970s, scientists accidentally discovered ...
Phys.org / Harnessing electromagnetic waves and quantum materials to improve wireless communication technologies
A team of researchers from the University of Ottawa has developed innovative methods to enhance frequency conversion of terahertz (THz) waves in graphene-based structures, unlocking new potential for faster, more efficient ...
Phys.org / Seeing the unseen: New method reveals 'hyperaccessible' window in freshly replicated DNA
DNA replication is happening continuously throughout the body, as many as trillions of times per day. Whenever a cell divides—whether to repair damaged tissue, replace old cells, or simply to help the body grow—DNA is ...
Phys.org / Skin-penetrating nematodes' love-hate relationship with CO₂ could lead to new parasitic infection treatments
In the United States, the most well-known skin-penetrating parasitic worm, called a nematode, is the hookworm. But globally, it is estimated that over 600 million people are infected with the skin-penetrating threadworm, ...
Phys.org / Study of deadly dog cancer reveals new clues for improved treatment
Researchers at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine and the UF Health Cancer Center have identified a crucial link between a gene mutation and immune system signaling in canine hemangiosarcoma, a discovery ...
Phys.org / City-dwelling spur-winged lapwings move around more than their rural counterparts
Researchers from Tel Aviv University's School of Zoology have studied the behavior and movement of the common spur-winged lapwing and compared the habits of "urban lapwings" to those of their "rural" counterparts.
