Phys.org / Nuclear-spin swap extends room-temperature entanglement lifetime up to 240-fold
Researchers in China have extended the lifetime of entanglement in a room-temperature, solid-state system by up to a factor of 240. Led by Shuo Ren and Rui-Jian Liang at the University of Science and Technology of China in ...
Phys.org / Plasma technology could help plant-based packaging replace plastic
A new study has found a sustainable and scalable way to improve the durability of plant-based packaging; it's a discovery that researchers say could help curb the environmental footprint of plastic. Researchers used advanced ...
Phys.org / Scientists teleport quantum states across 100 parallel optical channels
Quantum communication networks consist of several connected nodes that exchange information encoded in quantum states. These networks could potentially enable more secure communications between quantum devices in different ...
Medical Xpress / A stubborn medical mystery: Insights into signs and origins of a disorder that causes overly flexible joints
Some genetic disorders have a clear connection between the affected gene product and the suite of symptoms produced. But genes do not work in isolation, and many other conditions can be bafflingly complex, as when an affected ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists uncover centuries-old mystery of Tampa Bay's secret community of migrant potters
About 100 years ago, archaeologists unearthing pottery sherds in Tampa Bay found something unexpected. Some of the fragments they recovered had designs nearly identical to decorated pottery found hundreds of miles to the ...
Phys.org / Scientists reveal how our cells conduct emergency repairs for DNA
Two new studies from Johns Hopkins University are providing scientists with an unprecedented view of how human cells repair one of the most dangerous forms of genetic damage: a break that severs both strands of the DNA double ...
Phys.org / Does Tutankhamen's tomb hold his stepmother Queen Nefertiti's remains? New study offers tantalizing clues
When Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered over a century ago, it became an immediate worldwide sensation, revealing a wealth of treasures from ancient Egypt. In the decades that followed, the tomb was meticulously cleared, cataloged ...
Medical Xpress / When the eyes play tricks, the brain builds consensus
Have you ever seen something that doesn't quite add up? Maybe a shape in the dark resembles a face, or an orange momentarily looks like an apple. Scientists now have a new idea about how different brain regions may work together ...
Phys.org / Engineered nanoparticles sensitize gliomas to radiotherapy
Gliomas are a major cause of cancer-related deaths in younger adults. About 7,000 patients harbor a common genetic mutation that affects the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase 1. This mutated enzyme, called mIDH1, can produce ...
Phys.org / World Cup viewers exposed to junk food, alcohol and gambling branding every 7 seconds, study finds
More than 93,000 visible appearances of brands promoting unhealthy food and drink, alcohol, gambling and speculative products were recorded during coverage of the largest FIFA World Cup in history, new research has found. ...
Phys.org / Truckee River microplastics rise nearly tenfold during high spring flows
The ubiquitous plastics of modern life are degrading into tiny fragments and littering Earth's landscapes and waterways. Scientists are starting to examine and measure this phenomenon to better understand how microplastics ...
Phys.org / AI tool compares 125 cell types across 700 million years of evolution
A KAUST-led team has developed the AI tool Unify to help scientists compare similar cell types across distant species. This comparison can help researchers assess which findings from animal studies may be most relevant to ...
