Phys.org / Quantum Latin squares cannot solve Euler's 36 officers problem without entanglement
Latin squares are arrangements of symbols in a grid in which every symbol appears exactly once in each row and column. These symbol arrangements, which were first studied more than three centuries ago, are now widely used ...
Phys.org / We asked AI tools for financial advice: Results were practical, but with big blind spots
Ever used or thought of using artificial intelligence (AI) for financial advice? Is it a good idea?
Phys.org / Can math prove that Humpty Dumpty was simply mismanaged?
Humpty Dumpty had all the king's horses and all the king's men, but it wasn't enough to put him back together again. This raises the question: How many horses and men did he actually need?
Medical Xpress / New way to help CAR-T cells fight solid tumors could change cancer treatment
For more than a decade, CAR-T cell therapy has been one of the biggest breakthroughs in cancer medicine. By reprogramming a patient's own immune cells to attack cancer, doctors have produced remarkable results against certain ...
Phys.org / The brightened night sky nobody actually wanted
A new paper has put hard numbers on a plan that's been rattling around the astronomy community for a while now—a California company called Reflect Orbital wants to put giant mirrors in orbit and beam sunlight down to Earth ...
Medical Xpress / Booster vaccination strengthens existing defenses against newer COVID-19 variants
The SARS-CoV-2 genome is subject to constant mutations. Some of these mutations reduce the effectiveness of RNA-based vaccines, which consequently have to be adapted regularly. Until now, however, it was unclear how the immune ...
Phys.org / Mysterious Cygnus Bubble may trace back to microquasar, astronomers suggest
Astronomers have proposed a new explanation for the mysterious Cygnus Bubble, a vast cloud of ultra-high-energy gamma rays stretching thousands of light-years across the sky. While the bubble has generally been linked to ...
Tech Xplore / AI agents struggle to perform original scientific research
Among the many predictions about the future of artificial intelligence is that models will one day be able to conduct scientific research on their own, leaving humans out of the equation. Already, they can write code, run ...
Medical Xpress / Personalized T-cell therapy eliminates detectable metastatic kidney tumor in adolescent after multiple relapses
Researchers and physicians at the Hopp Children's Cancer Center Heidelberg (KiTZ) and other leading cancer centers report an exceptional treatment outcome in an adolescent with an advanced, treatment-resistant kidney tumor. ...
Phys.org / Rings forged from meteorites may have been fashionable among ancient Greek elites
Meteorites provided a rare but ready source of iron for ancient Bronze Age cultures before smelting became common. A new study, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, sheds light on how the ancient Minoan and ...
Phys.org / New hurricane graphic helps people identify watch areas, doesn't change risk perception
Hurricane warnings are only effective if people understand them. A new study by Florida State University faculty members in the School of Communication in the College of Communication and Information and the Department of ...
Phys.org / Australia needs more people who think like scientists—here's what that means
How we think and feel about science develops from an early age—and we never know where that early interest might take us.
