Phys.org / Novel protocol reconstructs quantum states in large-scale experiments up to 96 qubits
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 ...
Medical Xpress / Study maps hidden immune signals in type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes researchers have made great progress in understanding the disease in the last two decades, even as a cure remains elusive. Now they have something that benefits any scientific effort. It's a map.
Medical Xpress / Genetic cause identified for one in four MND patients in largest ever rare variant analysis
Project MinE, an international consortium co-founded by researchers at King's College London, has identified new genetic variants that play a role in the development of motor neuron disease (MND). These findings mean that ...
Phys.org / Legged robot could accelerate resource prospecting on the moon and the search for life on Mars
Planetary surface missions currently operate cautiously. On Mars, communication delays between Earth and rovers (typically between four and 22 minutes), as well as data transfer constraints due to uplink and downlink limitations, ...
Phys.org / It's happening: Historic Moon mission set for launch
On Wednesday three men and one woman are set to embark on the first crewed journey to the moon since 1972, a landmark odyssey that aims to launch the US into a new era of space exploration.
Phys.org / Ancient Neanderthal genome reveals isolated, distinct populations
Neanderthals split into distinct regional groups that developed genetic differences far sooner than modern human populations typically did, according to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. ...
Medical Xpress / Stress and addiction: New research reveals what connects them
Why do stressful moments so often push people toward habits like drinking? A new study from Texas A&M University offers one of the clearest answers yet, identifying a direct connection inside the brain that links stress to ...
Medical Xpress / Placing fruit and vegetables near store entrances can improve sales and diet quality
Placing fruit and vegetable sections near supermarket entrances increases the amount purchased and may improve the quality of women's diets, according to a new study published in the journal PLOS Medicine.
Phys.org / By 2100, climate change could make unhealthy air routine for 100 million Americans
New modeling shows almost one in three Americans will routinely breathe air considered unhealthy for sensitive people by the year 2100 due to climate change, a seven-fold increase compared to the turn of the century.
Medical Xpress / How time and space become one inside your brain—and what it means for Alzheimer's
If you develop Alzheimer's disease, you not only lose your sense of time, but you also lose your sense of place. Could time and place be two sides of the same coin? About 55 million people globally are currently living with ...
Medical Xpress / Unexpected findings on lung cancer CT scans may point to other non-lung cancers
When doctors review diagnostic medical scans for lung cancer, they sometimes spot abnormalities unrelated to the lungs. New research shows that some of those abnormalities could be signs of other undiagnosed cancers. The ...
Medical Xpress / Simple blood test could spot dementia years earlier, research shows
A blood test could help identify people at higher risk of cognitive decline years before a traditional diagnosis is possible—according to University of East Anglia research published in the journal Gut Microbes.
