Phys.org / Scientists advance quantum signaling with twisted light technology
A tiny device that entangles light and electrons without super-cooling could revolutionize quantum tech in cryptography, computing, and AI.
Medical Xpress / Genetic variant may explain why some children with myocarditis develop heart failure
A genetic variant is likely putting some children suffering with myocarditis—inflammation of the heart muscle—at higher risk of developing heart failure, which can be fatal, according to a study published in Circulation ...
Medical Xpress / How to host a meal if one of your guests has an eating disorder or is anxious around food
As the festive season approaches, perhaps you're thinking of hosting friends and family.
Phys.org / Mad cow disease: A new culprit beyond prions
Recent research led by the University of Alberta challenges the belief that mad cow disease is caused only by misfolded proteins—a discovery that sheds new light on the devastating outbreak in the United Kingdom 40 years ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's changes appear early in patients with Down syndrome
Down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. Because of genes present on this chromosome that are known to contribute to Alzheimer's disease, patients with Down syndrome often develop the disease, sometimes ...
Phys.org / Researchers slightly lower study's estimate of drop in global income due to climate change
The authors of a study that examined climate change's potential effect on the global economy said Wednesday that data errors led them to slightly overstate an expected drop in income over the next 25 years.
Medical Xpress / New vaccine sparks hope in whooping cough control
A human challenge trial has shown a new vaccine could offer better protection against whooping cough. The new study, delivered in partnership between the University of Southampton, University Hospital Southampton, and the ...
Phys.org / Success in measuring nano water droplets: Real-time images could advance hydrogen and battery research
In hydrogen production catalysts, water droplets must detach easily from the surface to prevent blockage by bubbles, allowing for faster hydrogen generation. In semiconductor manufacturing, the quality of the process is determined ...
Tech Xplore / New control system teaches soft robots the art of staying safe
Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to avoid contact with the environment ...
Phys.org / New levitating sensors could pave way to dark matter detection and quantum sensing
A new type of sensor that levitates dozens of glass microparticles could revolutionize the accuracy and efficiency of sensing, laying the foundation for better autonomous vehicles, navigation and even the detection of dark ...
Tech Xplore / Electric vehicle high-nickel batteries: Fundamental cause of performance degradation identified
High-nickel batteries, which are high-energy lithium-ion batteries primarily used in electric vehicles, offer high energy density but suffer from rapid performance degradation. A research team from KAIST has, for the first ...
Medical Xpress / New test distinguishes vaccine-induced false positives from active HIV infection
Since the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was identified in 1983, roughly 91.4 million people around the world have contracted the virus and an additional 44.1 million have died from related causes. Currently, nearly 40 ...
