Phys.org / Scientists realize a three-qubit quantum register in a silicon photonic chip
Quantum technologies are highly promising devices that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects. Instead of relying on bits, like classical computers, quantum devices rely on entangled ...
Phys.org / Hybrid polymer nanocarriers improve pulmonary mRNA vaccine delivery
An LMU research team led by Professor Olivia M. Merkel, Chair of Drug Delivery at LMU, has developed a new delivery system for inhalable mRNA vaccines. Published in the journal Cell Biomaterials, the study presents a novel ...
Medical Xpress / Discovery reveals how keto diet can prevent seizures when drugs fail
University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have revealed how the popular, low-carb ketogenic diet protects against epilepsy seizures and possibly neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Tech Xplore / AIs behaving badly: An AI trained to deliberately make bad code will become bad at unrelated tasks, too
Artificial intelligence models that are trained to behave badly on a narrow task may generalize this behavior across unrelated tasks, such as offering malicious advice, suggests a new study. The research probes the mechanisms ...
Phys.org / How cholera virulence is activated: A long-sought structural explanation
Cholera remains a major global public health challenge, with an estimated 1.3 to 4 million cases and tens of thousands of deaths reported worldwide each year. Caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, the disease spreads primarily ...
Medical Xpress / Researchers survey the ADHD coaching boom
More people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are turning to coaches for guidance. Those coaches, who often have ADHD themselves, offer similar services to psychologists but don't think of their work as ...
Medical Xpress / New blood test shows extent of brain injury after stroke—and reveals treatment effects
Strokes are a medical emergency, yet imaging can capture only snapshots of how brain damage develops in the hours and days that follow. For many other organs, blood tests can indicate acute injury, but until now the brain ...
Medical Xpress / Standard TB and HIV treatments leave lung immune system impaired, study shows
The immune system remains seriously out-of-whack—in an inflammatory state of overactivation and impaired functionality—following the international gold standard for treating people with latent tuberculosis (TB) and HIV, ...
Phys.org / Massive impact could be the cause of our lopsided moon
Our nearest neighbor, the moon, is still something of a mystery to us. For decades, scientists have wondered why it appears so lopsided, with dark volcanic plains on the near side (the side we see) and rugged, cratered mountains ...
Dialog / A new form of graphene-derived material could unlock next-generation printed electronics
Graphene has long been hailed as a "wonder material." It is incredibly strong, highly conductive and almost impossibly thin—just one atom thick. These properties make it a promising candidate for next-generation technologies ...
Phys.org / T. rex grew up slowly: New study reveals 'king of dinosaurs' kept growing until age 40
For decades, scientists have been counting annual growth rings—similar to tree rings—inside fossilized leg bones of Tyrannosaurus rex to estimate how old the giant carnivores were when they died and how quickly they grew ...
Phys.org / Monitoring beer fermentation at the single-cell level with a novel Raman method
Breweries typically monitor fermentation by analyzing broth composition. Alcohols, esters, acids and residual sugars are quantified via chromatography-based assays. While reliable, these tests are time-consuming and only ...
