Phys.org / What kills Schrödinger's cat? Underground experiment rules out gravity model for quantum decoherence
Somewhere between the microscopic realm of elementary particles and the macroscopic world of human beings, something strange happens: The rules of quantum physics, which work so exquisitely for tiny atoms, seem to lose their ...
Tech Xplore / Why AI consciousness could become the next great societal divide
The debate about AI consciousness is growing in academic articles, newspaper opinion pieces and even among AI bots themselves. I doubt this is a passing wave of interest.
Phys.org / Grass and clover can provide more than animal feed
Growing leys—grass and clover—is nothing new in Swedish agriculture. But in the arable farming regions dominated by cereal production, leys are less common. One reason is that there needs to be a market for what is harvested.
Medical Xpress / Big data analysis sheds light on psoriasis's genetic code
A research team from South Korea has revealed the specific mechanisms behind the onset of psoriasis by combining large-scale genomic data from more than 1.1 million people with advanced single-cell analysis technology. The ...
Phys.org / Real-time quantum jump in sound observed for first time
A Stanford team has documented the first direct observation of quantum jumps of sound in a mechanical resonator, completing an arc of scientific exploration that started more than 100 years ago.
Phys.org / New benchmark puts quantum computers to the test and reveals their limitations
Quantum computers are no longer theoretical concepts. Today, they are being developed to tackle a range of complex problems, including exploring financial risk, modeling complex molecules and optimizing massive logistics ...
Phys.org / Deep-sea hydrothermal vents may be a hot spot for pregnant Antarctic krill
Antarctic krill are tiny shrimp-like creatures that were previously thought to mostly inhabit the upper layer of the Southern Ocean. Although they had occasionally been observed at deeper levels, they were never seen near ...
Medical Xpress / Children's pupils may reveal shifting attention in ADHD, especially when off medication
The eyes are more than lenses to the outside world; they can also be windows that offer a glimpse into what's happening inside our bodies. What if the eyes could help us understand how attention shifts from one moment to ...
Phys.org / In hottest summer on record, 2 in 3 Americans say climate change is increasing heat-related illnesses
Nearly two-thirds of the American public say climate change is increasing the risk of respiratory diseases and heat- and insect-related illnesses, according to a new survey from the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) of ...
Phys.org / When prepping for disaster, don't forget to pack your teddy bear
Imagine it's the dead of night. Your phone pings with a text—it's a government emergency alert: "Leave your home immediately! Only take with you enough supplies for the next three days." What would you want in your go-bag?
Phys.org / Laser scans reveal 23 hidden ship carvings on Bronze Age temple wall in Cyprus
About 40 years ago, researchers found ancient ship carvings on a temple wall in Cyprus, possibly all carved at once at the tail end of the Bronze Age, around the time of the infamous Bronze Age collapse. Then, decades later, ...
Phys.org / Deep-sea crustaceans caught hitching rides on giant sea spiders
Some types of marine life appear to have it easy. While exploring thousands of meters below the waves in the Chilean Margin in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, scientists observed tiny shrimp-like crustaceans known as amphipods ...
