Tech Xplore / Tracking energy flow reveals voltage pattern that slashes waste heat by over 60%
Almost all the energy that flows into computing devices is eventually squandered as waste heat.
Phys.org / Superfluid qubit could help scale up quantum computers
Superfluid helium could offer a new way to tackle one of the biggest challenges in scaling up quantum computers, say researchers from the University of Surrey. The research team has introduced a conceptual design for a new ...
Medical Xpress / Disabling a gene brake in pancreatic cells unlocks insulin-producing potential
Type 1 and 2 diabetes are ultimately caused by a shortage of beta (β) cells, which are present in the pancreas and produce insulin to control blood sugar. Researchers from Harvard Medical School found that they can tweak ...
Phys.org / ALMA watches a massive binary assemble in real time
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have captured one of the most detailed three-dimensional views yet of a massive binary star system while it is still being born. By tracking the motions ...
Phys.org / Heat waves inhibit antibiotic resistance in soils, but at a price
Extreme heat waves disrupt life in soil. Soil bacteria that produce and resist antibiotics switch into survival mode, temporarily reducing the number of resistance genes. At the same time, heat and drought are causing significant ...
Medical Xpress / Cash transfers to mothers with low income may slow biological aging in children
A study published in Nature Human Behaviour reports that providing cash transfers to low-income mothers during the first four years of their children's lives changed the children's biological aging in ways associated with ...
Phys.org / Sea ice creates hidden highways for young Antarctic krill
New research shows that larval Antarctic krill could be carried far from their birthplace by drifting sea ice, linking distant ecosystems in ways conventional models may miss.
Phys.org / Six unusual structures identified at Earth's core-mantle boundary with the help of deep learning
Since scientists can't drill 2,900 km (1,800 miles) to the boundary between Earth's core and deep mantle, they must use information relayed by seismic waves recorded during earthquakes to study this region. In a new study ...
Phys.org / Marine heat waves boost coastal CO₂ uptake by 11%, analysis finds
Marine heat waves are a consequence of climate change and are increasingly altering marine and coastal regions worldwide. An international study led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon now shows that many coastal seas absorb ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden immune cells may hold key to tackling female infertility
University of Manchester scientists have uncovered a hidden role for immune cells in the womb, opening the door to new treatments for infertility, miscarriage and other reproductive conditions that affect millions of women ...
Medical Xpress / How the mouse brain learns from a single experience
Sometimes, even a single experience can be highly impactful, prompting humans and other animals to change their behavior or influencing their future choices. The formation of influential memories from a single, brief experience ...
Medical Xpress / Understudied gut fungus may help repair radiation-damaged DNA and limit intestinal injury
The gut microbiome has been a popular topic for a while now, but the focus is usually on good bacteria. A new study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that we may want to pay ...
