Phys.org / Fault-tolerant quantum computing: Novel protocol efficiently reduces resource cost
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on qubits, units of quantum ...
Medical Xpress / Assisted reproductive technology associated with higher risk of childhood atopic diseases
Collaborating institutions in Taiwan report higher risks of atopic disease among children conceived via assisted reproductive technology compared to those conceived naturally.
Phys.org / The electrifying science behind Martian dust
Mars, often depicted as a barren red planet, is far from lifeless. With its thin atmosphere and dusty surface, it is an energetic and electrically charged environment where dust storms and dust devils continually reshape ...
Medical Xpress / South Carolina measles outbreak grows by nearly 100, spreads to North Carolina and Ohio
South Carolina's measles outbreak exploded into one of the worst in the U.S., with state health officials confirming 99 new cases in the past three days.

Phys.org / Why we trust romantic partners rather than AI when making big financial decisions
Artificial intelligence programs are not only helping us tackle complex challenges like diagnosing diseases and predicting weather patterns, but also assisting with more mundane matters such as correcting grammar and planning ...
Phys.org / Some dogs can learn new words by eavesdropping on their owners
"Honey, will you take Luna to the P-A-R-K?" Both parents and dog owners know that some words should not be spoken, but only spelled, to prevent small ears from eavesdropping on the conversation. At the age of 1.5 years, toddlers ...
Phys.org / Vegetation might exacerbate urban heat island effect in very dry cities
As temperatures rise around the world, city heat becomes increasingly unbearable during the hottest seasons. The urban heat island effect causes cities to become significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas due to human ...
Medical Xpress / Some flu measures decline, but it's not clear this severe season has peaked
U.S. flu infections showed signs of a slight decline last week, but health officials say it is not clear that this severe flu season has peaked.
Phys.org / Cells use Morse code-like rhythms to coordinate growth
Cells experience many different types of stress, such as starvation or stress caused by too much salt or too high a temperature. Insulin signals respond to such stress signals by sending the protein DAF-16 into the cell nucleus ...
Medical Xpress / Infants receiving nirsevimab fare better against RSV compared to those with maternal vaccination
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that affects the nose, throat, and lungs. For most healthy adults and children, it causes only mild, cold-like symptoms and goes away on its own. Infants under 6 months ...
Tech Xplore / New process densifies electrolytes, stabilizing lithium anodes for long-lasting all-solid-state batteries
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium metal all-solid-state batteries—the next generation of batteries that can store more energy, are ...
