Phys.org / Quantum computer completes verified task beyond practical reach of classical simulations
IBM and researchers from the University of Chicago announced a demonstration in quantum computing that meets the fundamental criteria for "quantum advantage"—the point where quantum computers can be confirmed to have outperformed ...
Phys.org / How new informatics tools help turn biodiversity data into policy insights
Biodiversity loss has been among the central topics in public, policy and scientific debate for several decades. While its accelerating pace and impacts are well recognized, translating the vast amounts of biodiversity data ...
Phys.org / Insights into bee biology could ease US rules for organic honey
Strict regulations have prevented continental U.S. beekeepers from participating in the lucrative organic honey market, but new research finds that bees' actual habits make certain rules too extreme. The findings potentially ...
Medical Xpress / New wearable stickers simplify cystic fibrosis diagnosis
A pair of wearable stickers may transform diagnostic sweat testing for cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disorder that causes problems with digestion and breathing.
Phys.org / New immune-blocking strategy improves interspecies organ generation
Xenophagocytosis is a natural immune process that limits interspecies organ generation by eliminating living donor cells, researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, report. By uncovering how embryonic macrophages ...
Medical Xpress / Study suggests a shared logic of sensory processing across vertebrate brains
How does the brain make sense of what we see, hear and feel, and transform these separate signals into a coherent perception of the world?
Phys.org / Deadly blooms offer a genetic blueprint for making hard-to-synthesize medicinal compounds
Two plants that cause neurotoxicity and paralysis in the tiniest doses are also known to counter pain, malaria, cancer and pests. For the first time, researchers discovered a way to recreate these powerful compounds in the ...
Tech Xplore / AI reduces sensory hallucinations, even at night or in smoke
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs), which process multiple types of sensory information, such as text, images and audio, at the same time, are rapidly expanding the range of applications for artificial intelligence ...
Phys.org / Ancient diamond preserves evidence of water-bearing mineral deep in Earth's mantle
A team of Brazilian researchers discovered the first direct evidence that goethite—the mineral responsible for the brown color of soils—can withstand extreme pressures and temperatures all the way to the planet's interior ...
Phys.org / Solar wind stirs Mars' upper atmosphere, boosting ion loss to space
Our sun constantly releases a stream of high-speed charged particles, known as the solar wind. Unlike Earth, Mars does not have a strong global magnetic field to shield its atmosphere from this flow. As a result, the solar ...
Medical Xpress / Soy lysolecithin counters high-salt diet-induced hypertension and cognitive impairment
High-salt (HS) intake is a major global health concern, closely linked to hypertension and growing evidence of cognitive and emotional decline. Although salt is a routine part of daily diets, long-term overconsumption can ...
Phys.org / Four ways wildfires generate tornadoes, lightning and other extreme weather, sometimes miles from the flames
Thick smoke from massive wildfires has been spreading in North America and Europe once again in 2026. The health impacts of breathing this particle-filled air are becoming well known, but wildfires' influence on the weather ...
