Phys.org / Off-the-shelf components enable deployment-ready quantum entanglement source
Efficient generation and reliable distribution of quantum entangled states is crucial for emerging quantum applications, including quantum key distribution (QKDs). However, conventional polarization-based entanglement states ...
Phys.org / Horses with over 30 minutes of REM sleep show better persistence in learning tasks
Just as for humans, sufficient sleep supports learning and coping for horses. A recent study at the University of Helsinki indicates that short periods of REM sleep impair horses' perseverance and performance in demanding ...
Phys.org / Climate change widened Valencia's 2024 extreme rain footprint by 55%, study finds
Human-driven climate change intensified rainfall that triggered Spain's deadliest natural disaster in a generation when flash floods hit the Valencia region in 2024, a new study showed on Tuesday.
Medical Xpress / HIV entry blocker pairs CD4 mimic and antibody, showing sevenfold higher efficacy
Drug conjugates (ADCs) developed at Institute of Science Tokyo combine a CD4 mimic with neutralizing antibodies for enhanced suppression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. By targeting the gp120 on the viral ...
Phys.org / Rhythm during sex in bonobos provides new insights into the evolution of communication
An international research team, including VUB data scientist Yannick Jadoul, has shed new light on the rhythmic nature of sexual behavior in bonobos. By precisely analyzing the tempo of movements during sex, researchers aim ...
Medical Xpress / A gel for wounds that won't heal: Oxygen-delivering technology can prevent amputations
As aging populations and rising diabetes rates drive an increase in chronic wounds, more patients face the risk of amputations. UC Riverside researchers have developed an oxygen-delivering gel capable of healing injuries ...
Phys.org / Renewable biological catalyst carries the potential to transform wastewater into phosphorus resource
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plants and managing its availability is critical for growing crops to maintain the global food supply. In an effort to move toward a more sustainable bioeconomy, researchers from the ...
Tech Xplore / Hydrogen-bond networks boost all-perovskite solar cell efficiency
The use of solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, has grown exponentially over the past decades. These devices are enabling the production of clean and renewable energy, which could contribute to ...
Phys.org / Nitrogen pollution is rising: What a new global map means for forest carbon
On a cool spring morning in a northern forest, the ground feels soft underfoot. Mist hangs between the trunks, and the air smells of wet leaves and old humus; the slow alchemy that keeps a forest alive. Beneath the surface, ...
Medical Xpress / Hospitals with advanced IT and trial participation cut COVID-19 mortality faster, study finds
There's an unsung success story about the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. At its outset, U.S. hospitals faced huge challenges, as influxes of patients strained resources, while doctors were uncertain about what treatments ...
Medical Xpress / A potential new lymphedema target: Clearing cholesterol deposits to reduce swelling
An international team led by National University of Singapore researchers has linked secondary lymphedema to excessive cholesterol buildup inside skin and around lymphatic vessels. Excess cholesterol deposition tracked with ...
Phys.org / Bacterial strain from 5,000-year-old cave ice shows resistance against 10 modern antibiotics
Bacteria have evolved to adapt to all of Earth's most extreme conditions, from scorching heat to temperatures well below zero. Ice caves are just one of the environments hosting a variety of microorganisms that represent ...
