Phys.org / Quantum teleportation between photons from two distant light sources achieved
Everyday life on the internet is insecure. Hackers can break into bank accounts or steal digital identities. Driven by AI, attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Quantum cryptography promises more effective protection. ...
Medical Xpress / Macrophages can act like neurons for faster muscle injury repair, study finds
At the cellular level, the mechanics of how muscle tissue repair occurs gets complicated. There are significant differences between, say, tearing a muscle in a sports injury versus muscle tissue wasting away from diseases ...
Phys.org / Physicists explore optical launch of hypersound pulses in halide perovskites
A German-French team of physicists from TU Dortmund University, University of Würzburg, and Le Mans Université has succeeded in launching shear hypersound pulses with exceptionally large amplitudes in metal halide perovskites ...
Phys.org / The woman and the goose: A 12,000-year-old glimpse into prehistoric belief
A 12,000-year-old clay figurine unearthed in northern Israel, depicting a woman and a goose, is the earliest known human-animal interaction figurine. Found at the Late Natufian site of Nahal Ein Gev II, the piece predates ...
Tech Xplore / New green homes in the UK put less strain on the grid than models predicted
A study of some of the first net-zero-ready homes in the UK has found that their peak grid power demand is far lower than planners had anticipated. The research confirms that these all-electric homes can significantly cut ...
Medical Xpress / How the cheese-noodle principle could help counter Alzheimer's
Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have clarified how spermine—a small molecule that regulates many processes in the body's cells—can guard against diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's: It renders ...
Medical Xpress / Higher screen time linked to ADHD symptoms and altered brain development
The digital age has fundamentally reshaped childhood, making screens an integral part of learning, socialization, and entertainment. Globally, screen time among adolescents has surged, accelerated by the isolation and remote ...
Medical Xpress / Early brain differences may explain sex-specific risks for addiction
The roots of addiction risk may lie in how young brains function long before substance use begins, according to a new study from Weill Cornell Medicine. The investigators found that children with a family history of substance ...
Phys.org / Rethinking where language comes from: Framework reveals complex interplay of biology and culture
A new study challenges the idea that language stems from a single evolutionary root. Instead, it proposes that our ability to communicate evolved through the interaction of biology and culture, and involves multiple capacities, ...
Phys.org / New research measures how much plastic is lethal for marine life
Marine animals inevitably eat what we toss in the ocean, including pervasive plastics—but how much is too much?
Tech Xplore / Disney teaches a robot how to fall gracefully and make a soft landing
Bipedal (two-legged) robots are sophisticated machines, but they are not the most graceful when things go wrong. A simple push, fall or an obstacle can send them crashing to the ground, often resulting in expensive damage ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic events that can trigger leukemia in patients with a rare disorder deciphered
Two parallel and complementary studies conducted by the IDIBELL team led by Dr. Alessandra Giorgetti have succeeded in recreating models of GATA2 deficiency disease, a rare genetic disorder that affects fewer than 1 million ...
