Phys.org / Silicon quantum processor detects single-qubit errors while preserving entanglement
Quantum computers are alternative computing devices that process information, leveraging quantum mechanical effects, such as entanglement between different particles. Entanglement establishes a link between particles that ...
Tech Xplore / Robot hand approaches human-like dexterity with new visual-tactile training
Human hands are a wonder of nature and unmatched in the animal kingdom. They can twist caps, flick switches, handle tiny objects with ease, and perform thousands of tasks every day. Robot hands struggle to keep up. They typically ...
Medical Xpress / More states allow MAID, but many Americans remain misinformed or unsure
Public misunderstanding about medical aid in dying in the United States falls into two distinct categories—misinformation and uncertainty—and each is driven by different forces, according to Rutgers Health researchers.
Phys.org / NASA targets March for first moon mission by Artemis astronauts after fueling test success
NASA aims to send astronauts to the moon in March after acing the latest rocket fueling test.
Medical Xpress / Stunning new maps of myelin-making mouse brain cells advance understanding of nervous system disorders
Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 million cells called oligodendrocytes. ...
Phys.org / Do animals have a future on Hollywood sets?
There is a long and storied history of nonhuman actors, from Luke, the dog of silent star Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, to the collies cast in the role of Lassie in film and on television. Bart the Bear racked up over 20 film ...
Phys.org / Colonists dredged away Sydney's natural oyster reefs. Now, scientists know how best to restore them
New research has identified optimal design for artificial habitats to support restoration of oyster reefs, based on a detailed understanding of natural oyster reef geometry. Published in the global journal Nature, the Sydney-based ...
Phys.org / Americium, curium and californium—crystallizing the rarest elements
Actinides are a group of heavy, radioactive elements that include uranium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium and californium. Understanding how these elements bond with other atoms (known as coordination chemistry), ...
Phys.org / How root growth is stimulated by nitrate: Researchers decipher signaling chain
When 200 natural accessions of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana grown in a nitrate-enriched medium were compared, one observation stood out: some accessions formed significantly longer lateral roots than others. Genetic ...
Medical Xpress / The five healthy diets that could add extra years to your life
The old saying "you are what you eat" suggests that our food choices determine our health and longevity. Now, a study published in the journal Science Advances has put some specifics on it by estimating how many extra years ...
Medical Xpress / Toxic exposure creates disease risk over 20 generations, epigenetic inheritance study suggests
A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations—with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. Those are the findings of ...
Tech Xplore / Ultrafast 3D printing method creates complex objects in under a second
High-speed 3D printing has just gotten a lot faster. Researchers from Tsinghua University in China have developed a new high-speed printing technology capable of creating complex millimeter-scale objects in just 0.6 seconds. ...
