Tech Xplore / Quantum computers could expose our digital secrets, but there are much better reasons to build them
Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that's what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum mechanics, the set of rules governing how physics operates at atomic and sub-atomic scales.
Medical Xpress / One-time gene editing treatment lowers 'bad' cholesterol by up to 62%
Patients in London have received a pioneering new gene editing therapy that lowers "bad" cholesterol after a single infusion, as part of a study involving UCL scientists.
Medical Xpress / First comprehensive look at breast cancer in Native American women reveals key genetic differences
Researchers from the University of Notre Dame have published the first known detailed study of breast cancer tissue from Native American women. The study, published in npj Precision Oncology, reveals important molecular differences ...
Tech Xplore / Faster renewable shift could save EU billions, analysis shows
Recurring geopolitical tensions and energy import limitations have raised energy prices across the European Union (EU), exposing a gap in energy supplies and vulnerabilities in energy security. With energy prices showing ...
Phys.org / AI crosses catalyst boundaries to uncover new route for green hydrogen
Discovering new catalysts is one of the central challenges in developing clean-energy technologies such as green hydrogen production. Yet catalyst discovery has traditionally remained confined within individual material families, ...
Tech Xplore / Photon-driven synapse advances low-power neuromorphic systems
Modern artificial intelligence systems rely on moving large amounts of data between memory and processors, a design that limits speed and increases energy use. The human brain works differently: it combines memory and computation ...
Medical Xpress / Commonly prescribed medication for sleep problems raises alarm bells
Amid growing concern about the widespread off-label use of sedative medications for sleep problems, Flinders University researchers have led a world-first clinical trial examining how a commonly prescribed "sleeping pill" ...
Phys.org / Trees and greenery can cool cities by as much as 18°C—but only if they're the right type
Cities around the world are planting more trees to cope with rising urban heat. But our research shows trees alone are often not enough. In some cases, the wrong kind of greening can even make streets feel less comfortable ...
Phys.org / Leaf forces help steer stomata as young plants grow, experiments reveal
Scientists have uncovered how the interplay between cell shape and mechanical stress influences the orientation of stomata (microscopic pores on the leaf surface) during early plant development.
Medical Xpress / Short-term fasting could boost chemo response in ovarian cancer, study suggests
A simple change in meal timing may help improve outcomes for women with the most common and aggressive form of ovarian cancer, a new study suggests.
Dialog / New mathematical model suggests global population crash by 2064
In a new open-access study that I published with my late colleague Kostya Trachenko from Queen Mary University of London, I propose a surprisingly simple nonlinear mathematical equation that unifies 12,000 years of human ...
Tech Xplore / AI giant Anthropic confidentially files for IPO
AI giant Anthropic, the maker of the Claude chatbot, announced Monday that it had filed confidentially for an initial public offering (IPO), as Silicon Valley AI companies look to raise the enormous sums needed to fuel the ...
