Phys.org / Hourly weather data show shifting freeze and heat stress periods across US
Studying historical hourly weather data—and the amount of time that temperatures remain above or below certain thresholds—reveals several impacts of U.S. regional climate change trends.
Phys.org / Optimal scaling for magic state distillation in quantum computing achieved
Researchers have demonstrated that the theoretically optimal scaling for magic state distillation—a critical bottleneck in fault-tolerant quantum computing—is achievable for qubits, improving on the previous best result ...
Phys.org / Randomness reveals hidden order in the plant world
In the intricate architecture of plant tissues, beauty often emerges from chaos, according to new research from Cornell researchers. Findings from a recent study show how randomness and growth together create the striking ...
Tech Xplore / Rubber electronics are first to offer complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor functionality
Researcher Cunjiang Yu and his research team, including several of his former students, have announced a significant milestone in materials and electronics engineering: the creation of what they call "rubbery CMOS," which ...
Medical Xpress / Nasal therapeutic HPV vaccine could prevent cervical cancer
Cervical cancer, which affects the reproductive tract, is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. It is primarily caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), a viral infection that spreads through sexual contact.
Phys.org / Young adults say they're happy with their friendships, but many still feel disconnected
A new study challenges common assumptions about loneliness in young adulthood, finding that feelings of disconnection can coexist with rich, active social lives.
Phys.org / Hidden Arctic leaks: Natural seepage of oil and gas uncovered off Northeast Greenland
A large research study by an international team of scientists led by Christoph Böttner from Aarhus University shows clear evidence of extensive natural hydrocarbon seepage along the Northeast Greenland margin—one of the ...
Phys.org / Snail genome duplication offers look at evolution in transition
A tiny freshwater snail from New Zealand is giving scientists a glimpse into evolution in motion. University of Iowa biologists have traced the snail's evolutionary history through its genome and discovered that the species ...
Phys.org / Imaging reveals bacterial symbionts in the ovaries of tiny, aquatic crustaceans
Researchers at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) have imaged a heritable form of bacterial symbiosis inside the reproductive system of tiny crustaceans known as ostracods.
Phys.org / New enzyme network with competing peptides can make decisions based on external environment
The ability to respond to changing surroundings was once considered exclusive to complex living organisms. Then came computers, specially designed for stimulus–response tasks, which can take in signals from their environment ...
Medical Xpress / Newly discovered RNA molecule could limit protein aggregation and prevent neuronal damage
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia, are medical conditions that entail the progressive loss of neurons and a decline in brain function. Past studies have found a link between these diseases ...
Medical Xpress / Newly identified T-cell subtype may explain treatment-resistant childhood leukemia
A new type of cancer cell that "warrants urgent investigation" has been discovered in childhood leukemia and could impact clinical care. Research into new or repurposed treatments that target this new cell type could give ...
