Phys.org / Magnetically levitated quantum bit could address design flaws
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, headquartered at Florida State University, have designed a new quantum computing architecture that uses magnetic levitation ...
Phys.org / North Sea wind farm expansion may shift rain offshore, simulations suggest
Offshore wind farms are a key pillar of the energy transition. The European Union plans to expand offshore wind capacity in the North Sea by 2050. A new study by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon indicates that a very extensive ...
Phys.org / Hypersonic impact rapidly transforms diamond into graphite, revealing energy-absorbing mechanism
Rice University researchers have developed a way to stabilize diamond during high-temperature and low-pressure processing, creating a strong bulk composite and discovering that high-speed collisions can rapidly transform ...
Phys.org / Alternative mRNA modification lets ribosomes move nearly twice as fast
In a new study, scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report that an experimental mRNA-based platform has the potential to help deliver next-generation mRNA therapeutics, including vaccines to fight infectious diseases, ...
Medical Xpress / A unified framework to explain one of cancer's major drivers
In a rare pair of papers published back-to-back in the journal Genes & Development, research teams led by senior author Anindya Bagchi, Ph.D., associate professor in the Cancer Genome and Epigenetics Program at Sanford Burnham ...
Phys.org / An echo of Einstein: An unexpected link between whale calls and special relativity
Standing on the sandy, windswept shores of Provincetown, Massachusetts, people may find themselves squinting at the horizon, waiting for a whale to make its grand entrance with a spectacular breach.
Phys.org / AI boosts sensitivity to double-Higgs signatures occurring about once per trillion collisions
Is the universe as stable as we think it is? That's one of the big questions that particle physicists worldwide are preparing to answer with the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC—the world's most powerful particle accelerator—when ...
Phys.org / Intense light bent out of shape—ultrafast lenses made from gas
Researchers from the MPIK in Heidelberg used an atomic gas as a time-dependent lens to shape and spectrally manipulate intense high-frequency laser pulses. This gas-based optical element could pave the way toward better XUV- ...
Medical Xpress / When people of different generations create together, brain activity changes
When people of different generations create art together, their brains initially show more synchrony, and the synchrony can predict feelings of loneliness or social connection, according to a study published Aug. 20 in the ...
Phys.org / Messy life-producing cellular process caught in action for first time
All living things have a fleet of tiny copy machines that turn instructions from DNA into RNA molecules responsible for helping build proteins that keep organisms alive. One of those nanoscale machines, called eukaryotic ...
Medical Xpress / Parkinson's-linked gene holds clues to battling deadly bacterial infections
Innovative research led by a University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine professor whose lab focuses on mechanisms that maintain a healthy immune system has discovered that a gene best known for increasing the risk of Parkinson's ...
Phys.org / Lost 'mega-escarpment' across ancient USA may explain Grand Canyon's missing billion years
Scientists have found evidence that a colossal cliff stretching thousands of kilometers across ancient North America may have exposed the heart of the Grand Canyon nearly a billion years before it was carved by the Colorado ...
