Phys.org / New insight into light-matter thermalization could advance neutral-atom quantum computing
Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to new research that could help scale up an emerging quantum computing approach in which photons and ...
Phys.org / Ancient Mesopotamian medical texts reveal the role of divine sanctuaries in treating ear and spleen ailments
In a study published in the journal Iraq, Dr. Troels Arbøll analyzed medical prescriptions from ancient Mesopotamia to understand and re-evaluate the role sanctuaries played in the healing process. The study found that specific ...
Phys.org / Optical technique reveals hidden magnetic states in antiferromagnets
Imagine computer hardware that is blazing fast and stores more data in less space. That's the promise of antiferromagnets, magnetic materials that do not interfere with each other and can switch states at high speed, opening ...
Phys.org / When young adults can't afford independence, family expectations fill the gap
I met Lufang Chen, a 30-year-old bank clerk based in the Fujian province of China, in 2016, after she had married a man she initially turned down years earlier. Although she preferred to remain single, and he was not her ...
Phys.org / Single enzyme found to control formation of immune cells critical for health
A new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that an enzyme involved in protein ...
Medical Xpress / Unexpected vitamin B1 connection emerges in genetic study of gut motility
Bowel habits aren't exactly dinner-table talk. But they reflect how quickly the gut moves things along, and when that goes wrong, people can experience constipation, diarrhea, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Yet the biological ...
Phys.org / Using magnetic frustration to probe new quantum possibilities
Research in the lab of UC Santa Barbara materials professor Stephen Wilson is focused on understanding the fundamental physics behind unusual states of matter and developing materials that can host the kinds of properties ...
Phys.org / Innovative optical atomic clock could combine single-ion accuracy with multi-ion stability
For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could change the definition of ...
Medical Xpress / Automated 3D heart tissue platform speeds up cardiac drug testing
Researchers from Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) and the Leiden-based biotech company Ncardia have joined forces to develop a new platform that enables the automated production of 3D cardiac microtissues. This platform ...
Tech Xplore / Musk makes Davos debut with promise of robots for all
Elon Musk sees his humanoid robots hitting the market next year, one of several "optimistic" forecasts by the US tech mogul at his first-ever Davos appearance on Thursday.
Medical Xpress / Cancer vaccines promise personalized, combination treatment approaches, says research
A new comprehensive review from researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai details how decades of cancer vaccine research are converging into a new era of more precise, personalized, and effective immunotherapies, ...
Phys.org / AI helps find trees in a forest: Researchers achieve 3D forest reconstruction from remote sensing data
Existing algorithms can partially reconstruct the shape of a single tree from a clean point-cloud dataset acquired by laser-scanning technologies. Doing the same with forest data has proven far more difficult. But now a team ...
