Phys.org / Shop-bought cable helps power two quantum networks
For decades, physicists have dreamed of a quantum internet: a planetary web of ultrasecure communications and super-powered computation built not from electrical signals, but from the ghostly connections between particles ...
Medical Xpress / Inhibiting a master regulator of aging regenerates joint cartilage in mice
An injection that blocks the activity of a protein involved in aging reverses naturally occurring cartilage loss in the knee joints of old mice, a Stanford Medicine-led study has found. The treatment also prevented the development ...
Phys.org / Astronomers investigate nearby pulsar with radio telescopes
Using the Large Phased Array (LPA) and the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), astronomers from Russia and China have observed a nearby pulsar designated PSR J1951+2837. The new observations, presented ...
Phys.org / Flightless ancestor shows brain evolution in pterosaurs and birds took different paths
Flight is a rare skill in the animal world. Among vertebrates, it evolved only three times: in bats, birds, and the long-extinct pterosaurs. Pterosaurs were the pioneers, taking to the skies more than 220 million years ago, ...
