Phys.org / New cryogenic vacuum chamber cuts noise for quantum ion trapping
Even very slight environmental noise, such as microscopic vibrations or magnetic field fluctuations a hundred times smaller than Earth's magnetic field, can be catastrophic for quantum computing experiments with trapped ions.
Phys.org / Imaging technique captures ultrafast electron and atom dynamics in chemical reactions
During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively charged particles) and ...
Phys.org / Strategic sex: Alaska's beluga whales swap mates for long-term survival
In the icy waters of Alaska's Bristol Bay, a new study reveals how a small population of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) survive the long haul through a surprising strategy: they mate with multiple partners over several ...
Phys.org / Scientists plan deep-sea expedition to probe 'dark oxygen'
A team of scientists announced Tuesday they have developed new deep-sea landers specifically to test their contentious discovery that metallic rocks at the bottom of the ocean are producing "dark oxygen".
Phys.org / Bubble netting knowledge spread by immigrant humpback whales, study finds
New research from the University of St Andrews has found that the social spread of group bubble-net feeding among humpback whales is crucial to the success of the population's ongoing recovery.
Medical Xpress / Early intervention helps most autistic children acquire spoken language
After receiving evidence-based early interventions, roughly two-thirds of non-speaking kids with autism speak single words, and approximately half develop more complex language, according to a new study led by researchers ...
Phys.org / South Pole Telescope detects energetic stellar flares near center of galaxy
Researchers from the South Pole Telescope project team looked deep into the center of the Milky Way, discovering powerful, surprising bursts of light from two accreting white dwarf systems.
Medical Xpress / Q&A: Researcher discusses new tool to predict how cancer evolves
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining and losing whole chromosomes, changes that help tumors grow, adapt and resist treatment. In a new study, scientists ...
Phys.org / Diversity of water striders emerged earlier than previously thought, researchers find
The diversity of water strider species apparently developed as early as the Cretaceous period, much earlier than previously thought. SNSB researchers have succeeded in clarifying the phylogenetic history of this insect family, ...
Phys.org / How pointing errors impact quantum key distribution systems
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is an emerging communication technology that utilizes quantum mechanics principles to ensure highly secure communication between two parties. It enables the sender and receiver to generate a ...
Phys.org / Teen girls cannot escape unrealistic beauty ideals on social media, researchers say
Girls between the ages of 13 and 19 are widely exposed to beauty content online that promotes products unsuitable for young skin—even when they are not actively seeking beauty-related information. Moreover, they believe ...
Medical Xpress / Human heart regrows muscle cells after heart attack, researchers discover
Pioneering research by experts at the University of Sydney, the Baird Institute and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney has shown that heart muscle cells regrow after a heart attack, opening up the possibility of new ...
