Phys.org / How quantum circuits based on neutral atoms could find and fix errors
Quantum computers, devices that process information by leveraging the laws of quantum mechanics, have been found to outperform classical computers in some advanced tasks. Instead of storing information in the form of classical ...
Phys.org / Danish fish fossil cliffs set to gain UNESCO status
Two Danish coastal cliffs where paleontologists have uncovered 55-million-year-old fossils of prehistoric wildlife are likely to gain World Heritage status as UNESCO's committee meets in South Korea.
Phys.org / Green LED light could help keep leafy greens fresher longer, study suggests
Low-intensity green lighting in refrigerated storage can slow spoilage in leafy greens, helping maintain their appearance and nutritional value, according to a new study from McGill University. The research, published in ...
Medical Xpress / High-speed 3D imaging reveals how seizures move through the brain
Seizures can race through the brain in seconds, making them difficult to capture in detail. To overcome this challenge, researchers have developed a new high-resolution light-sheet imaging system that is fast enough to image ...
Medical Xpress / Synthetic peptide blocks key asthma inflammation switch in cells and mice
A team from the University of Bonn and the Research Center Borstel, Leibniz Lung Center (FZB) has discovered a previously unknown mechanism of action for a synthetic peptide that mitigates excessive inflammatory responses ...
Tech Xplore / Programmable metasurface turns keyboard commands into dynamic holograms in milliseconds
Metasurfaces are ultrathin optical components engineered with arrays of nanoscale structures that can control light in ways that are difficult for conventional optics. Unlike traditional optical components, which typically ...
Medical Xpress / Sudden cardiac death condition shown to have linked genetic variations
Scientists have found that the "sudden" cardiac death condition related to high-profile deaths or major medical episodes of sports stars including Fabrice Muamba, Christian Erikson and Mark-Vivian Foe, has numerous linked ...
Phys.org / Hydra rebuilds the body by restoring its internal cellular map
Before a hydra can regrow a head or foot, its cells appear to rebuild the internal map that tells them where they are and what they should become next, FMI researchers report. The work suggests that cells need to interpret ...
Medical Xpress / What people look at most reflects their brains' specialization
While people explore the environment around them, their eyes constantly move between different objects, faces and other specific segments of a visual scene. This dynamic process allows them to prioritize visual information ...
Phys.org / Centuries before farming, hunter-gatherers introduced fish to the Norwegian mountains
Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of 7,000-year-old fish traps in the mountains of southern Norway, indicating that fish were intentionally introduced to upland lakes by Mesolithic hunter-fisher-gatherers and showing ...
Tech Xplore / Tracking a flight path to a green aviation future
Aviation is one of the fastest-growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions, generating around 14% of transport emissions—second only to road transport. It is also one of the world's hardest-to-decarbonize industries. Unlike ...
Medical Xpress / Tick-borne meat allergy: Many carry alpha-gal antibodies without symptoms
Many more Americans than previously estimated carry antibodies related to a meat allergy caused by tick bites, a new study says. Nearly 1 in 4 adults in states with the highest rates of alpha-gal syndrome carry antibodies ...
