Phys.org / Cutting down on quantum-dot crosstalk: Precise measurements expose a new challenge
Devices that can confine individual electrons are potential building blocks for quantum information systems. But the electrons must be protected from external disturbances. RIKEN researchers have now shown how quantum information ...
Phys.org / Subaru observations suggest an intrinsic gap in NGC 5466's tidal stream
Astronomers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) and elsewhere have used the Subaru Telescope to perform deep imaging observations of a distant globular cluster known as NGC 5466. The observational campaign ...
Phys.org / Leading AI models struggle to solve original math problems
Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks like literature searches ...
Phys.org / Photonic integrated circuits enable programmable non-Abelian 'braiding' of light states
A research team has successfully implemented a programmable spinor lattice on a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). This platform enables the realization of non-Abelian physics, in which the outcome of operations depends on ...
Medical Xpress / Use of meds for mental health up in children, young adults from 2001 to 2020
Use of medications for mental health and behavioral conditions among children and young adults increased steadily for two decades, according to a study published online recently in the Journal of the American Academy of Child ...
Phys.org / A new microscope for the quantum age: Single nanoscale scan measures four key material properties
Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete quantum chips, accelerating ...
Phys.org / Silicon metasurfaces boost optical image processing with passive intensity-based filtering
Of the many feats achieved by artificial intelligence (AI), the ability to process images quickly and accurately has had an especially impressive impact on science and technology. Now, researchers in the McKelvey School of ...
Medical Xpress / A 15-minute VR eye test could flag vision changes tied to brain health
In the recreation room at Eskaton Village in Carmichael, Bonnie Dale, one of the residents, is trying on a virtual reality (VR) headset.
Phys.org / New 3D printing ink uses 70% lignin and recycles with water
Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as 3D printing, enable the realization of objects with different geometric properties, by adding materials layer-by-layer to physically replicate a digital model. These methods are ...
Phys.org / The changing chemistry of invasive death cap mushrooms
The California Department of Public Health reported 39 related poisonings in the last three months, leading to the death of four people, at least three liver transplants, and many more people made sick. The culprit? In each ...
Medical Xpress / Why working out may not help you lose weight
According to conventional wisdom, a great way to lose weight is to do some exercise. While being active is beneficial in many ways for our health, it may not be very helpful if you want to shed a few inches off your waistline. ...
Medical Xpress / Human stem cell lines offer new resource to help study HIV progression
King's College London researchers have created a unique collection of human stem cell models that could help to uncover why HIV leads to different outcomes in different people. The research was carried out by Dr. Nathalia ...
