Phys.org / Chance discovery converts toxic nitric oxide into nitrogen gas at room temperature
Nitrogen is a crucial component of proteins and nucleic acids, the fundamental building blocks of all living things, and thus is essential to life on Earth. Gaseous N2 from the atmosphere can be fixed by soil bacteria capable ...
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.
Tech Xplore / Engineers develop thin film to make AI chips faster and more energy efficient
Addressing the staggering power and energy demands of artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of Houston have developed a revolutionary new thin-film material that promises to make AI devices significantly faster ...
Medical Xpress / South Carolina's measles outbreak shows effect of vaccine misinformation
Near the back corner of the local library's parking lot, largely out of view from the main road, the South Carolina Department of Public Health opened a pop-up clinic in early November, offering free measles vaccines to adults ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly one in five child deaths linked to growth failure, global analysis finds
Nearly 1 million children around the globe fail to reach their fifth birthday every year due to devastating health consequences linked to child growth failure, making it the third leading risk factor for mortality and morbidity ...
Phys.org / Chemists pioneer light-driven macrolactone synthesis for fast route to complex natural compound
Macrolactones—large ring lactones—are core components of many natural products and pharmaceutical agents. Traditional synthetic routes rely on seco acids activated with condensing reagents, often requiring harsh conditions ...
Phys.org / Optical clock sets new accuracy record, bringing us closer to a new definition of the second
A research team at VTT MIKES has set a new record in optical-clock absolute frequency measurements using a strontium single-ion clock with exceptionally low uncertainty and high uptime.
Phys.org / Smart hydrogels act as 'micromachines' to squeeze and study living cells
Within tissues, cells are embedded in complex, three-dimensional structures known as the extracellular matrix. Their biomechanical interactions play a crucial role in numerous biological processes. Scientists at the Max Planck ...
Phys.org / Google Quantum AI realizes three dynamic surface code implementations
Quantum computers are computing systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects. These computers rely on qubits (i.e., the quantum equivalent of bits), which can store information in a mixture of states, ...
Phys.org / Why protests can bring people together across political divides
How can people with diametrically opposed views suddenly stand shoulder to shoulder in protest? Researchers from Copenhagen, Oslo and Mainz have investigated this question. The starting point is the COVID protests, which ...
Medical Xpress / Tirzepatide's benefits fade for most: Weight and health markers rebound after withdrawal, study finds
Eli Lilly and Company, along with partner institutions in the US and United Kingdom, describe how short-term pharmacologic intervention does not appear to have lasting effects for most tirzepatide patients. People with obesity ...
Phys.org / Zapping stem cells could boost growth of new tissues and organs
Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new improved ways of creating new tissues, organs, nerves and bones.
