Tech Xplore / Bringing classical LDPC code design theory to quantum computers
Quantum error correction must detect and correct errors without directly reading the quantum information. Classical low-density parity check (LDPC) codes have a well-established design theory: by choosing how many checks ...
Phys.org / Waterlogged seeds reveal melons' ancient journey
Melons produce many seeds, making the melon shape a traditional symbol of fertility and prosperity in Chinese culture. But the historical debate about how melons made their way to modern tables is as long and twisted as ...
Tech Xplore / First-of-its-kind X-ray imaging tool for studying nuclear materials
As global energy demand continues to grow—driven in part by the rise of artificial intelligence—researchers are exploring technologies that can provide affordable, reliable and safe sources of electricity. Nuclear energy ...
Medical Xpress / AI-assisted imaging tool for breast cancer could tailor screening for women according to individual risk
An artificial intelligence model that analyzes women's past and recent annual 3D mammograms is more effective at predicting the five-year risk of developing breast cancer than a tool that uses only the most recent 3D mammogram, ...
Medical Xpress / Major psychiatric risk gene linked to myelin and brain communication
A new Northwestern Medicine study suggests a major psychiatric risk gene remains important well into adulthood and may influence brain communication, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...
Medical Xpress / This is how dense breast tissue may lead to cancer
Breast cancer often grows in tissue that is unusually dense. That's why clinicians flag women with this kind of breast tissue for follow-up after a mammogram.
Phys.org / Four in five researchers report harmful interactions during geoscience fieldwork. A new survey suggests a path forward.
Fieldwork is a vital part of geoscience research, allowing scientists and students to directly observe, interact with and collect data about Earth processes that cannot be replicated in the lab.
Phys.org / How to help your garden recover from a heat wave
UK gardens took a battering this summer as a heat dome settled over western Europe, and much of the green and pleasant land turned a dusty beige.
Medical Xpress / Sitting on Japanese tatami mats may reduce anxiety and support task engagement
Researchers at Kyushu University, publishing in the journal Scientific Reports, found that using mats made from Japanese Igusa, or rush grass, was associated with increased activity in regions of the brain related to concentration ...
Tech Xplore / The next frontier is not artificial intelligence, it's artificial societies
There is a temptation to divide the future of AI into two possibilities: utopia or catastrophe. Neither extreme is particularly helpful.
Tech Xplore / Invention may bring smart bionic eye into sight
A working prototype that can see, remember and interact with the world like the human brain could one day underpin smart bionic eyes while using far less energy than today's technologies. The invention from RMIT University ...
Phys.org / Climate change may erase 25 million hectares of kelp forests by 2050
Climate change is driving rapid declines in seaweed forests globally, outpacing restoration efforts and undermining seaweed restoration as a viable carbon dioxide removal strategy, according to an essay by Karen Filbee-Dexter ...
