Phys.org / Bringing quantum time into the lab—a single clock can run young and old at once
Few concepts in physics are as familiar, yet as enigmatic, as time. In Einstein's theory of relativity, time is not absolute: its passage depends on motion and gravity. But when combined with quantum physics, this relativistic ...
Phys.org / Brushstroke-mapping AI reopens a centuries-old mystery about one of El Greco's masterpieces
Spanish Renaissance master El Greco is often considered one of the greatest painters of all time, and many of his artworks are displayed in galleries around the world. His painting The Baptism of Christ is generally believed ...
Phys.org / Each protein in the epigenome produces a different pattern of gene expression, study finds
A new study finds the proteins responsible for controlling which genes are expressed in a genome do more than simply turn a gene on or off. Essentially, each type of protein that interacts with a gene produces different behaviors—a ...
Tech Xplore / A truly invisible device that does not disturb its surroundings and its metamaterial shell
Metamaterials are carefully engineered materials that possess desirable properties and can be used to manipulate electromagnetic, acoustic, or other types of waves in interesting ways. Some materials scientists and engineers ...
Phys.org / LHC decay anomaly reveals possible crack in the Standard Model
Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics.
Phys.org / AI model 'reads' protein pairs, unlocking new insights into disease and drug discovery
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that can more accurately predict how proteins interact with one another—an advancement that could accelerate drug discovery and deepen insights into diseases ...
Phys.org / Alkaline cement tiles boost baby coral survival from 12% to 52%
As coral reefs struggle to survive in warming oceans, scientists across the world are scrambling to find ways to help these vital ocean ecosystems. An interdisciplinary team at the University of Miami has discovered a new ...
Phys.org / What makes Mars' magnetotail flap? Two spacecraft point to magnetic reconnection
The sun continuously blasts charged, magnetic field-carrying particles, or plasma, in all directions. This solar wind interacts with the magnetic fields and atmospheres of several of our solar system's planets and other bodies, ...
Phys.org / The physics of brain development: How cells pull together to form the neural tube
In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly. Georgia Tech physicists are now helping explain why this happens, having uncovered the physics that drive ...
Phys.org / New AI method captures long-range atomic interactions in complex molecules
Researchers from Google DeepMind in Berlin, BIFOLD, and the Technical University of Berlin have introduced a new machine learning method—Euclidean Fast Attention (EFA)—that enables global atomic interactions in chemical systems ...
Dialog / Sprinkling nanoparticles on spintronics
Today, I want to walk you through a deceptively simple innovation from the lab at Loughborough University (PI: Prof Marco Peccianti): what happens when we decorate a spintronic heterostructure with a sparse layer of plasmonic ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists crack an 'undruggable' childhood cancer protein, opening a path to treatments for neuroblastoma
Researchers at Linköping University show how two important cancer-related proteins can be prevented from collaborating with each other. The discovery shows the way toward future medications to combat, for example, neuroblastoma ...
