Phys.org / Scientists achieve all-electrical control of single-molecule quantum states
Quantum technologies promise revolutionary advances in computing, sensing and information processing. However, controlling individual quantum bits (qubits) at the atomic scale remains a major challenge because conventional ...
Medical Xpress / New tool makes immune therapy more effective in prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is often resistant to immunotherapy, which harnesses a person's immune system to recognize and destroy tumors. But a new technology that targets RNA in cancer cells gave immunotherapy new life, improving its ...
Phys.org / Researcher finds several UK mosquito species are potential carriers of avian malaria
Mosquitoes are widely known for transmitting diseases such as malaria and dengue fever to humans, but less is known about the diseases they can transmit to wild birds. The Plasmodium parasite that causes avian malaria is ...
Phys.org / The Large Hadron Collider is being upgraded so that it can unlock the secrets of the Higgs boson
Deep beneath the French-Swiss border, the world's largest scientific instrument has fallen silent. After years of smashing protons together at nearly the speed of light, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has stopped operations ...
Phys.org / Pump that recreates human heartbeat blood flow on lab chips inspired by an accordionist
For more than 25 years, lab-on-a-chip technology has allowed researchers to model human organs and blood vessels using real human cells in artificial microscopic environments. These microphysiological systems (MPS) may replicate ...
Phys.org / Antibiotic resistant gene found in Australian soil
A new study published in Nature Communications reveals a hidden source of antibiotic resistance, providing an early warning sign for researchers and public health officials.
Medical Xpress / Night owls eat later, choose less nutritious food, carry more belly fat and show higher metabolic risk
For generations, early to bed and early to rise was seen as the blueprint for a healthy life, and any departure from it was often considered unhealthy. Scientists, however, have discovered that whether someone is an early ...
Phys.org / Hybrid material confirms antiferroelectricity can coexist with switchable polarization
Many of the advanced electronic components surrounding us in everyday life rely on polar materials to function. Polar materials have an uneven distribution of electric charge. This gives them a positive and a negative side ...
Phys.org / How ions flow like a liquid through a solid crystal
A research team led by the University of Osaka, working with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), RIKEN and the Institute of Science Tokyo, has uncovered a fundamental mechanism behind ...
Phys.org / Study finds high school track experience gives baseball players an edge MLB teams overlook
A new study by a University of Florida sport management professor and colleagues challenges long-held assumptions about how young athletes should train and suggests that Major League Baseball teams might be missing players ...
Phys.org / Herbularyo card game blends Filipino folklore and organic chemistry
Medicinal plants have long been a cornerstone of Philippine traditional medicine, dating back generations. Tawa-tawa, a low-growing herb that thrives in open grasslands, is a valued supplementary treatment for dengue; the ...
Phys.org / 3,400-year-old gold diadems and mouth-pieces from Cyprus blend the art of Egypt, Greece and the Near East
Buried in the rubble outside an ancient city, archaeologists have discovered golden diadems and mouthpieces stamped with sun-crowned bulls and running ibexes. Their designs borrow from nearly every corner of the ancient Mediterranean, ...
