Phys.org / Particle permutation task can be tackled by quantum but not classical computers, study finds
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, are expected to outperform classical computers on some complex tasks. Over the past few decades, many physicists and quantum engineers ...
Medical Xpress / Computational method clarifies gene–drug links for precision cancer treatment
A paper published in Biology Methods and Protocols, indicates that a new computational method may help researchers identify effective precision treatments for cancer more quickly and efficiently. The paper is titled "SOLVE: ...
Phys.org / In polar regions, microbes are influencing climate change as frozen ecosystems thaw
Microbes across Earth's coldest regions are becoming more active as glaciers, permafrost and sea ice thaw, accelerating carbon release and potentially amplifying climate change, according to a new international review from ...
Phys.org / Most men do not subscribe to toxic masculinity traits, study finds
A growing niche space, the manosphere, has been taking shape in today's online forums and social media, preaching an aggressive definition of what it means to be a man. It promotes traits such as misogyny, dominance, and ...
Tech Xplore / Self-powered electronics: Organic semiconductors achieve both light emission and energy harvesting
Organic semiconductors are thin, flexible, and extremely versatile materials that have revolutionized the world of consumer electronics. They are the core technology behind organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, which ...
Phys.org / Watching atoms roam before they decay
Together with an international team, researchers from the Molecular Physics Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have revealed how atoms rearrange themselves before releasing low-energy electrons in a decay process initiated ...
Phys.org / Government funding for AI jobs did not produce more jobs, research finds
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how companies operate, but it may not translate into more job creation, according to new research.
Phys.org / The shape of things to come: How spheroid geometry guides multicellular orbiting and invasion
As organisms develop from embryos, groups of cells migrate and reshape themselves to form all manner of complex tissues. There are no anatomical molds shaped like lungs, livers or other tissues for cells to grow into. Rather, ...
Phys.org / Scientists may have discovered a new extinct form of life
Prototaxites are something of a prehistoric mystery. They were the first giant organisms on land, towering over ancient landscapes at heights of up to 8 meters. They had smooth trunk-like pillars and no branches, leaves or ...
Phys.org / Scientists may have solved 66 million-year-old mystery of how Earth's greenhouse age ended
A 66 million-year-old mystery behind how our planet transformed from a tropical greenhouse to the ice-capped world of today has been unraveled by scientists. Their new study has revealed that Earth's massive drop in temperature ...
Phys.org / In ancient Mesopotamia, what was a ziggurat?
A ziggurat (also spelled ziqqurat) was a raised platform with four sloping sides that looked like a tiered pyramid.
Tech Xplore / Why the future of AI depends on trust, safety, and system quality
When Daniel Graham, an associate professor in the University of Virginia School of Data Science, talks about the future of intelligent systems, he does not begin with the usual vocabulary of cybersecurity or threat mitigation. ...
