Phys.org / Majorana qubits become readable as quantum capacitance detects even-odd states
The race to build reliable quantum computers is fraught with obstacles, and one of the most difficult to overcome is related to the promising but elusive Majorana qubits. Now, an international team has read the information ...
Phys.org / Laser‑written glass chip pushes quantum communication toward practical deployment
As quantum computers continue to advance, many of today's encryption systems face the risk of becoming obsolete. A powerful alternative—quantum cryptography—offers security based on the laws of physics instead of computational ...
Medical Xpress / Unraveling the mystery of why some cancer treatments stop working
Cancer researchers working on immunotherapies have made a big discovery: SLAMF6, a molecule on the surface of immune cells that prevents T cells from effectively attacking tumors—and, in mice, they've found a way to neutralize ...
Medical Xpress / A single oncolytic virus injection may help T cells infiltrate glioblastoma
A team led by investigators at Mass General Brigham and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has shown that a single injection of an oncolytic virus—a genetically modified virus that selectively infects and destroys cancer cells—can ...
Medical Xpress / Lung cancer drug offers a surprising new treatment against ovarian cancer
A new study published by Mayo Clinic researchers suggests that ovarian cancer cells quickly activate a survival response after PARP inhibitor treatment, and blocking this early response may make this class of drugs work better. ...
Medical Xpress / Light-based sensor detects early molecular signs of cancer in the blood
Researchers have developed a highly sensitive light-based sensor that can detect extremely low concentrations of cancer biomarkers in the blood. The new technology could one day make it possible to spot early signs of cancer ...
Phys.org / Supercomputer simulations test turbulence theories at record 35 trillion grid points
Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have performed the largest direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulence ...
Phys.org / Seeing how atoms vibrate at the Ångström scale
Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties. Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) offers extremely high resolution to probe such vibrations. ...
Phys.org / Sunlight extracts oxygen from regolith using solar chemistry
NASA's Carbothermal Reduction Demonstration (CaRD) project has completed an important step toward using local resources to support human exploration on the moon. The CaRD team performed integrated prototype testing that used ...
Phys.org / Bison hunters abandoned long-used site 1,100 years ago to adapt to changing climate, Great Plains study finds
On the Great Plains of North America, bison were hunted for thousands of years before populations collapsed to near extinction due to overexploitation in the late 1800s. But long before then, bison hunters used various strategies ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer cell study sheds light on cachexia's origins
New research from the University of Oklahoma, published today in Cancer Cell, describes for the first time a "triangle regulation theory" of cancer-induced cachexia and anorexia. Cachexia is a muscle-wasting and fat-loss ...
Phys.org / Bio-based coating reveals harmful UV exposure by shifting color
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a coating using proteins and bacteria that could enable the development of T-shirts that warn of excessive sun exposure or labels that reveal damage to ...
