Phys.org / Quantum computing without interruptions
Mid-circuit measurements are one of the biggest practical hurdles in quantum error correction on encoded qubits. Researchers in Innsbruck and Aachen have now proposed and experimentally demonstrated that a universal fault-tolerant ...
Phys.org / Bacteria are weaving forever chemicals directly into their cell membranes, study finds
University of Tennessee Knoxville professor and Goodrich Chair of Excellence in Civil Engineering Frank Loeffler and his co-authors published new research on the environmental impacts of "forever chemicals" in Nature Microbiology. ...
Tech Xplore / New software may nearly double pooled SSD performance in data centers
To improve data center efficiency, multiple storage devices are often pooled together over a network so many applications can share them. But even with pooling, significant device capacity remains underutilized due to performance ...
Phys.org / How to eat an elephant: Fossil find in Tanzania shows oldest signs of butchering these giant mammals
Imagine a creature nearly twice the size of a modern African elephant, which can weigh up to 6,000 kg. This was Elephas (Paleoxodon) recki, a prehistoric titan that roamed the landscape of what is now Tanzania nearly two ...
Medical Xpress / Depression's hidden cost: Why earnings can drop before diagnosis and keep falling
A diagnosis of depression in connection with hospital treatment can have long-term consequences for personal finances. This is shown in a new registry-based study from the Department of Public Health, University of Southern ...
Phys.org / A layered approach sharpens brain signals in optical imaging
Near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, offers a way to monitor brain activity without surgery or radiation by tracking changes in blood flow and oxygenation. Light sources placed on the scalp send near-infrared light into ...
Phys.org / Oyster reefs stack up for shoreline protection
Oyster reef living shorelines have been found to provide a resilient and adaptive alternative to conventional hard coastal protection, reducing wave energy while supporting oyster colonization.
Phys.org / Tech can enable cross-species experiences, new research suggests
Giving lemurs the chance to use technology to share control of sensory experiences with zoo visitors can help create meaningful connections between humans and animals, new research suggests.
Phys.org / Water on the moon? New study narrows down the most likely locations
Water likely accumulated on the moon slowly over billions of years, rather than during one big event, according to a new study by an international team of scientists. The researchers, including Paul Hayne, a planetary scientist ...
Medical Xpress / A new add-on for combat PTSD treatment: MRI-guided TMS significantly reduces symptoms in clinical trial
An advanced version of a procedure using magnetic fields to stimulate brain nerve cells in treating depression was significantly effective for 85% of active military and veterans suffering from combat post-traumatic stress ...
Medical Xpress / A better way to see how brain cells falter in disease
To gain better insight into what's happening in the brain, researchers examine the molecules produced by brain cells, including RNA and proteins. But existing methods for molecular profiling don't always capture the cells' ...
Medical Xpress / 'Hamelin Assay' traces molecular mechanisms that may guide cancer cell spread
Metastases are a key problem in many types of cancer. As descendants of the primary tumor, they can grow in other organs distant from the primary site and are often difficult to identify. A research team from the Institute ...
