Phys.org / Quantum sensor based on silicon carbide qubits operates at room temperature
Over the past decades, physicists and quantum engineers introduced a wide range of systems that perform desired functions leveraging quantum mechanical effects. These include so-called quantum sensors, devices that rely on ...
Phys.org / How supplemental feeding boosts reproductive conditions of urban squirrels
Urbanization is rapidly growing worldwide, often bringing negative effects on wildlife through loss of habitat and disturbances such as light pollution and noise. Yet some species manage to adapt to cities, either due to ...
Medical Xpress / Cause of partner's death linked to widowhood mortality—differences more pronounced in cohabiting couples
Researchers at the University of Oulu, Finland, have identified significant differences in mortality among widows and widowers from cohabiting versus married relationships, depending on the deceased partner's cause of death. ...
Phys.org / Probiotics and prebiotics offer safer alternatives to antibiotics in animal agriculture
A new study by researchers at Shinshu University highlights the essential role of gut microbiota in livestock health and productivity. The researchers show how probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics can safely enhance growth ...
Medical Xpress / Study probes 'covert consciousness'
Ricardo Iriart last saw his wife conscious four years ago. Every day since, he has visited Ángeles, often spending hours talking to her in hopes that she could hear him.
Tech Xplore / AI learns to 'listen': Compact speech tokens help models understand spoken words
Large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Gemini were originally designed to work with text only. Today, they have evolved into systems that can work with many types of information at once (multimodal systems), as ...
Medical Xpress / How fast you can walk before hip surgery may determine how well you recover
Total hip arthroplasty (hip replacement) is a common treatment for hip osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease caused by cartilage in the hip joint wearing down. However, clinical outcomes vary between patients, and ...
Medical Xpress / Corticosteroid use does not appear to increase infectious complications in non-COVID-19 pneumonia
A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the association between corticosteroid therapy, mortality, and infectious complications in adults with severe non-COVID-19 pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ...
Tech Xplore / Rock 'n' research: Engineering student builds 3D-printed guitar
Timothy Tran '27 has a new guitar for jamming out to his favorite Jimi Hendrix tunes, and he didn't pick it up at a music shop—he printed it.
Tech Xplore / Virtual battery model paves way for electric vehicle simulations
Studies on integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into local energy markets have been hindered by the high computational complexity associated with EV modeling. Seyed Mahoor Ebrahimi's doctoral dissertation at the University ...
Tech Xplore / Machines whisper before they scream: We built an AI model that predicts expensive problems
In most industries, maintenance is a waiting game. Things are fixed when they break. But in the 21st century, an age defined by data and automation, that approach no longer makes sense. The solution could be predictive maintenance. ...
Tech Xplore / Crypto hacks: Price drops often outweigh direct losses
In the crypto world, reports of cyberattacks tend to focus mainly on the funds that vanish immediately. A new study by researchers at the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) now shows that the indirect consequences—such as falling ...
