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 / The mosquito's transition from vegan to bloodsucker explained
Scents govern most key events in the lives of mosquitoes, and there is extensive research on their sense of smell. A new study reveals how a young female mosquito shifts from focusing entirely on nectar to seeking only blood. ...
Phys.org / X-ray method predicts anion behavior, opening path to longer-lasting batteries and AI-assisted chemistry
A new way of measuring how materials interact at the atomic level could help scientists develop better-performing, longer-lasting batteries.
Phys.org / AI model predicts peptide bitterness and enables novel flavor design
During the production of fermented products such as kefir, Parmesan, or mountain cheese, as well as in the production of protein powders, bitter-tasting peptides can form, which impair the taste and thus the acceptability ...
Phys.org / Antarctica's lost mountains may have helped early life flourish
Beneath the vast frozen wastes of Antarctica lie the remains of ancient mountains that have long since eroded. Even though they're no longer standing, they can still reveal a few lost secrets. New research published in Earth ...
Tech Xplore / Virtual markers help smartphone cameras reconstruct lifelike multi-person movement, from hugs to martial arts
For decades, the gold standard for capturing human movement and transferring these data into the digital world has required actors to wear suits with physical markers that cameras track in a specialized studio. While accurate, ...
Phys.org / Can a long-lived seabird evolve fast enough to avoid extinction under a changing climate?
As the climate changes, species face a critical question: Can they evolve quickly enough to keep pace with their changing environment?
Medical Xpress / 'Invisible' inflammation in rare bowel disease may explain heightened colon cancer risk
New research from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has revealed for the first time that two closely related bowel diseases, currently treated in the same way, are fundamentally different. The findings help explain ...
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 / Teen with extraordinary memory relives his past far more often than most people do
The human brain is a mystery that keeps unraveling, revealing something fascinating with every discovery. For years, scientists have been trying to better understand a rare condition called Highly Superior Autobiographical ...
Medical Xpress / Imaging agent may improve diagnoses for rare heart disease
A PET/CT radiotracer demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing cardiac amyloidosis, a rare disease that causes abnormal protein buildup in the heart and heart failure, according to a recent clinical trial ...
Phys.org / Rope, twine and thread: Invisible technologies of the Stone Age
When an abstract-looking ivory artifact emerged from the Hohle Fels cave in southern Germany in 2015, archaeologists didn't know quite what to make of it. Previously, the same cave had yielded what may be the world's oldest ...
