Phys.org / Cobalt honeycombs open a new path to quantum computing
Honeycombs are famous for their elegant design, but now they may have found a new application: quantum computing. To collect knowledge from subatomic particles, quantum computers require carefully designed materials capable ...
Medical Xpress / Brain scans reveal two distinct autism subtypes with different underlying biology
An international research team led by Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) in Rovereto (Trento, Italy) and the Child Mind Institute in New York (U.S.), and in collaboration with researchers ...
Phys.org / Electrical 'knob' can switch light on, off and tune intensity at the nanoscale
Physicists from Emory University have led work to develop a microscopic, nonlinear light source that can be switched on, off or tuned to a particular intensity by an electrical "knob." The paper is published in the journal ...
Phys.org / Wattle's the deal with psychedelics?
In 2008, while investigating a clandestine drug lab, forensic scientists from WA's ChemCentre found something odd—a pile of wet bark, stripped from a wattle tree and stewed.
Medical Xpress / Case of mistaken patterns: Slow brain development linked to ADHD for years might just be sex differences
Figuring out the causes of why children develop attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been on scientists' radar for a few decades now. A common notion that has been around for nearly 20 years is that ADHD is ...
Phys.org / Italians and Dutch share the same gestural instinct for teaching, research reveals
Italians are famous for speaking with their hands. But a new international study suggests that when it comes to teaching children, adults everywhere instinctively become more expressive with their gestures—even in cultures ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists validate a link between autoimmunity and long COVID
A Mount Sinai-led research team has demonstrated that autoimmunity, in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues, is responsible for the often-debilitating and confounding symptoms of long COVID in a subset of ...
Phys.org / Global food shock model reveals self-sufficiency alone may not prevent crises
Global food systems are fragile. Recent shocks such as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have raised prices and exacerbated food insecurity. Governments are increasingly trying to shield ...
Phys.org / Deep beneath Utah, rare mantle earthquakes reshape seismic hazard questions
Nearly 50 years ago, a puzzling earthquake beneath northern Utah jolted scientists' understanding of how Earth works. Now, research from the University of Utah confirms that the mysterious event was real, and part of a rare ...
Phys.org / Forgotten museum fossil helps rewrite part of animal evolution
New research published in BMC Biology helps to fill in questions about the so-called "Furongian gap" from about 497 million to 485 million years ago, when paleontologists previously thought there were far fewer fossils than ...
Medical Xpress / AI suggests simple food swaps to make meals healthier and cheaper
An artificial intelligence framework that suggests just one to three ingredient swaps can make meals meaningfully more nutritious and less expensive, according to a new study published in PLOS Digital Health by Trevor Chan ...
Phys.org / 'Diversifying' social feeds can cut exposure to toxic content and preserve enjoyment
A new study from Northwestern University and the University of Chicago offers underlying evidence that the engagement-based algorithms used by major social media platforms amplify intergroup, moralized, emotional (IME) and ...
