Phys.org / New digital state of matter could help build stable quantum computers
Scientists have taken another major step toward creating stable quantum computers. Using a specialized quantum computer chip (an essential component of a quantum computer) as a kind of tiny laboratory, a team led by Pan Jianwei ...
Tech Xplore / Scalable thermal drawing method creates liquid metal fibers for wearable electronics
Over the past decades, many research teams worldwide have started working on electronic fibers. These are yarn-like components with electronic properties that can be weaved or assembled to create new innovative textile-based ...
Phys.org / Golden Eagles in the West appear stable, but Nevada tells a different story
Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) have been protected in North America since 1962 and their populations in the West are considered stable. However, a new study published in the Journal of Raptor Research found that the Nevada ...
Phys.org / Pinning down spinless glueballs: New look at hidden structure inside subatomic particles
SUNY Poly Professor of Physics Dr. Amir Fariborz recently published a paper in Physical Review D titled "Spinless glueballs in generalized linear sigma model." The work takes on a central challenge in modern physics: understanding ...
Phys.org / Canada's federal budget for 2025 shows partial alignment with farmers' priorities, new analysis reveals
A comprehensive analysis by The Simpson Center at the University of Calgary reveals mixed results when comparing Canadian farmers' policy priorities with measures introduced in the 2025 federal budget.
Phys.org / Epigenetics linked to high-altitude adaptation in Andes
DNA sequencing technology makes it possible to explore the genome to learn how humans adapted to live in a wide range of environments. Research has shown, for instance, that Tibetans living at high altitude in the Himalayas ...
Phys.org / Tightening the net around the elusive sterile neutrino
Neutrinos, though nearly invisible, are among the most numerous matter particles in the universe. The Standard Model recognizes three types, but the discovery of neutrino oscillations revealed they have mass and can change ...
Phys.org / Receptors in mammary glands make livestock and humans inviting hosts for avian flu
An ongoing outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza has affected more than 184 million domestic poultry since 2022 and, since making the leap to dairy cattle in spring 2024, more than 1,000 milking cow herds.
Phys.org / A new role for DNA loops in repairing genetic damage
When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its DNA structure to speed ...
Phys.org / How a sperm bank for cheetahs might one day save the fastest land animal
For 35 years, American zoologist Laurie Marker has been collecting and storing specimens in a cheetah sperm bank in Namibia, hoping conservationists never have to use them.
Medical Xpress / Does mental illness have a silver lining? New paper says yes
An estimated one in five U.S. adults live with mental illnesses, conditions that are almost universally characterized by their negative consequences. But there are also positive attributes associated with psychological disorders— ...
Phys.org / Terahertz device sets performance record and opens new quantum horizons
A prototype device that has demonstrated record-breaking longevity could help open up new frontiers in next-generation communications and computing technologies.
