Phys.org / Passive quantum error correction doubles qubit lifetime, reaching break-even point
A team of U.S. researchers has designed a passive quantum error correction technique that enables qubits to correct their own errors. Demonstrated by Shruti Shirol and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, ...
Phys.org / Medieval Moroccan bathhouse steps reveal rare game board
Archaeologists have discovered a game board carved into the steps of a medieval bathhouse in the Moroccan town of Walīla (the Roman city of Volubilis). The find is a rare example of a medieval game board that can be securely ...
Medical Xpress / Microplastics mapped in living tissue in fine detail for months
Microplastics have been mapped deep within the tissue of living organisms in fine detail in a new study involving Kingston University London. The study, published in Advanced Science, shows noninvasive methods can be used ...
Phys.org / Think you'd never eat bugs? Research says you might—and you may even like it
People who are hesitant to try insect-based foods may enjoy the experience more than they expect—and can become more open to expanding their diets in the future, according to research published by the American Psychological ...

Scientists at the Hudson Institute of Medical Research have discovered how Helicobacter pylori, the bacterium responsible for most stomach cancers and peptic ulcers, delivers a key disease-causing protein into human cells. ...
Medical Xpress / Vagus nerve stimulation may quiet pain through newly mapped brainstem pathway
Physical pain is essential for survival, as it allows animals to detect when they are injured or unwell, seek shelter and address their ailments. Yet when it becomes chronic, pain can also become highly distressing and debilitating.
Phys.org / Quasi-1D material unlocks electric control of charge waves beyond standard limits
The ability to control the movement of negatively charged particles (i.e., electrons) is central to the functioning of all modern electronic devices. This control is typically attained using a gate, an electrode via which ...
