Phys.org / Physicists unveil system to solve long-standing barrier to new generation of supercomputers
The dream of creating game-changing quantum computers—supermachines that encode information in single atoms rather than conventional bits—has been hampered by the formidable challenge known as quantum error correction.
Tech Xplore / Microsoft finds security flaw in AI chatbots that could expose conversation topics
Your conversations with AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini may not be as private as you think they are. Microsoft has revealed a serious flaw in the large language models (LLMs) that power these AI services, ...
Phys.org / X-ray techniques map and measure the invisible properties of altermagnets
The new big thing in magnetics is altermagnetism, a form of magnetism that promises to power the next generation of electronics. Unlike ferromagnets, like a fridge magnet, where all internal atomic spins align to create a ...
Phys.org / 100 years of menus show how food can be used as a diplomatic tool to make and break political alliances
Food brings people together. It serves as a tool to communicate political stances, to cultivate cross-cultural comprehension or, if necessary, create tensions. Menus can reflect these intentions by using food to create specific ...
Phys.org / ESA pinpoints 3I/ATLAS's path with data from Mars
Since comet 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar object, was discovered on 1 July 2025, astronomers worldwide have worked to predict its trajectory. ESA has now improved the comet's predicted location by a factor of 10, ...
Medical Xpress / Self-reactive T cells may explain why some patients can't reach undetectable HIV levels
Despite the capability of antiretroviral drugs to suppress HIV to undetectable levels, some people living with the human immunodeficiency virus can't reach the goal of viral imperceptibility even with daily doses of the potent ...
Tech Xplore / EU bows to pressure on loosening AI, privacy rules
The European Union is set next week to kickstart a rollback of landmark rules on artificial intelligence and data protection that face powerful pushback on both sides of the Atlantic.
Phys.org / Heavy atomic nuclei are not as symmetric as previously thought, physicists find
Many heavy atomic nuclei are shaped more or less like squashed rugby balls than fully inflated ones, according to a theoretical study by RIKEN nuclear physicists published in The European Physical Journal A. This unexpected ...
Phys.org / Beavers create habitats for bats and support endangered species
Many species benefit from the habitats that beavers create by building dams—and not just aquatic life. A new study by the WSL and Eawag research institutes published in the Journal of Animal Ecology shows that more bats ...
Phys.org / Tabletop particle accelerator could transform medicine and materials science
A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I have found in a new research project.
Medical Xpress / Ethiopia confirms first Marburg outbreak as WHO lauds country's fast action
Ethiopia on Friday confirmed its first Marburg outbreak after nine cases were identified in a southern region of the country that borders South Sudan.
