Researchers at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology have, for the first time, measured the temporal duration of individual pulses of an extraordinary form of quantum light known as bright squeezed vacuum (BSV). Their ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers on some computationally demanding tasks. Despite their potential, as the size of quantum computers ...

Researchers have uncovered new evidence that short-lived spikes in ocean phosphorus may have played a major role in two of the most severe marine extinctions in Earth's history. Dr. Matthew Dodd from The University of Western ...

A new map of a brain circuit specific to chronic pain suggests a promising route to treatment for the roughly 60 million Americans living with persistent pain, according to a study published in Nature. The study showed that ...

Researchers from the Biomedical Data Science Laboratory (BDSLab) at the ITACA Institute of the Universitat Politècnica de València have developed a new method based on magnetic resonance imaging that enables objective quantification ...

For decades, multiple sclerosis research has focused on myelin, the insulation around the brain's wiring. Scientists paid less attention to another loss that was happening in parallel: neurons in the cortex, the seat of higher ...

For patients with heart failure, blood pumps can be lifesaving. But the very forces that sustain circulation can also harm it, damaging red blood cells through hemolysis and compromising the body's oxygen supply. Now, supercomputer ...

Conventional weapons are generally presented as controllable, proportionate and morally acceptable, unlike weapons of mass destruction. It is this assumption that is challenged by research conducted by Julien Pomarède at ...

For the first time, people who want to stop using crystal methamphetamine may be able to treat their addiction with a cheap and readily available medication, say researchers at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Center ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered an extrasolar planet orbiting TOI-4616—a nearby M-dwarf star. The newfound alien world, which received designation ...

A new study led by researchers at Brown University School of Public Health found that more than half of U.S. jails are located at least a 30-minute drive from the nearest opioid treatment program—a distance that may make ...
