Phys.org / Quantum simulators gain quantitative error bars in 51-ion test
In the coming years, increasingly larger and more powerful quantum systems are expected to tackle problems that are difficult or impossible to solve using conventional computers. However, the more powerful quantum simulations ...
Phys.org / Brand messaging shapes consumer choices in vegan cosmetics
Major cosmetics retailers such as Sephora, Ulta and Amazon now feature sections aimed at socially conscious consumers, highlighting products that are sustainable, eco-friendly, cruelty-free or packaged with recycled materials. ...
Medical Xpress / International study marks step forward in genetic understanding of eating disorders
New research led by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, in collaboration with an international partnership of researchers, has, for the first time, compared the genetics ...
Medical Xpress / Emotion-regulation training reduces distress and changes the brain, team reports
A five-week training intervention taught college students to better regulate their emotions in response to negative events, a new study finds. After the training, the students reported less emotional distress when viewing ...
Medical Xpress / Ambient light activates wearable patch for wound treatment
A research team has developed a wearable patch that simultaneously promotes wound closure and tissue regeneration using room light or sunlight, without batteries or an external electrical power source. The work has been published ...
Medical Xpress / Cell-preservation technique could make CAR-T cell therapy more accessible
Immune cells that are engineered to attack cancer cells, known as CAR-T cells, are used to treat some types of blood cancer. However, only about 5% of hospitals in the United States can generate and deliver CAR-T cells to ...
Phys.org / Topical clove oil for canine sarcoptic mange promises faster, plant-based treatment
Canine sarcoptic mange (scabies) is a skin condition in which microscopic mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) infest dogs' skin. The condition is contagious and zoonotic and can be difficult to detect. If left untreated, it can cause ...
Phys.org / 3D imaging and machine learning improve noncontact weight estimation of frozen skipjack tuna
Accurately determining fish body size and weight is essential for fisheries resource management and seafood processing; however, measuring large quantities of fish is labor-intensive, and results may vary among operators.
Medical Xpress / Study finds sustained benefit for people using Oregon psilocybin services
People participating in an Oregon Health & Science University-led study of state-regulated psilocybin services reported relief from symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder—with almost two-thirds ...
Medical Xpress / New norovirus vaccine approach may shape strategies for treating other RNA viruses as well
Every RNA virus—from stomach bugs and influenza to measles and the common cold—has its own story to tell, with a unique combination of symptoms, transmission rates, duration and chemical blueprint.
Phys.org / Foldamer–protein pair unlocks precise building blocks for artificial molecular materials
Proteins form complex three-dimensional shapes and can join together to create larger structures. Researchers want to use these properties to make artificial materials. However, arranging proteins and synthetic molecules ...
Phys.org / Dying radio galaxies suggest a shorter, more dynamic afterlife for black hole jets
Astronomers have uncovered a previously underexplored population of faint, rapidly fading remnant radio galaxies, offering new insights into what happens after supermassive black holes stop powering their enormous radio jets.
