Phys.org / Quantum teleportation could reduce photon loss in long-distance communications
Quantum technologies, which leverage the principles of quantum mechanics, have been found to outperform their classical counterparts on specific tasks. Among other things, past studies have highlighted the potential of quantum ...
Medical Xpress / Reducing muscle protein activity strengthens bone health, study suggests
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), or "brittle bone disorder," is a connective tissue disorder that affects collagen, a protein that makes up much of the body's structure. There are more than 10 different types of OI, and while ...
Phys.org / Greece broils on year's warmest day as three-day heat wave peaks
Greece is expected to experience its hottest day of the year Wednesday, with temperatures reaching up to 43°C (109°F), according to meteorologists. Several regions have been placed on alert because of the risk of wildfires.
Tech Xplore / Shade-resistant solar cells keep 97% efficiency after 2,000‑hour stress test
It is common for solar panels to be shaded by trees, clouds, birds or buildings. For thin-film solar technologies, however, such shading can cause shaded areas to develop reverse-bias stress (negative voltage), which can ...
Phys.org / A new record holder for the world's oldest amber discovered in China
Paleontologists in China have discovered the oldest chemically verified amber ever found, dating to 385 million years ago. That's approximately 140 million years before dinosaurs roamed Earth. The previous record holder was ...
Medical Xpress / GLP-1 use rising rapidly among US adolescents and young adults, study finds
Adolescents and young adults in the U.S. are increasingly using popular GLP-1 weight-loss drugs alone or in conjunction with metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) to manage obesity, according to a study by UT Southwestern ...
Phys.org / New cell imaging method measures protein folding in living organelles
Protein aggregates are associated with the development of diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. These are found more often in certain areas of cells known as membraneless organelles. Do these organelles promote this ...
Phys.org / How the most widespread parasite on Earth reads its genome
A parasite carried by billions of people worldwide often causes harmful infections during pregnancy and in immunocompromised individuals and is a leading infectious cause of blindness in South America. Once it enters the ...
Phys.org / Underwater drones discover coral reefs off Benin, long presumed dead, teeming with life
A coral reef, missing and presumed dead, has been found alive and well off the coast of Benin. Surveys in the 1960s, focused on identifying promising fishing areas, flagged a possible deep-water coral reef but assumed it ...
Medical Xpress / Coffee and heart health: How many cups of caffeinated coffee are safe to drink each day?
Previous studies have found that caffeine is the world's most popular stimulant and psychoactive substance, and coffee is the most common way people consume caffeine. The latest research supports the conclusion that, for ...
Medical Xpress / How p53 mutations drive immunotherapy resistance—and a path to overcome it
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has transformed cancer treatment, but many tumors remain resistant. A new study from researchers at the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) identifies a previously ...
Phys.org / Researchers expand simulation tool to help design the next generation of photonic and quantum devices
Many modern technologies, from optical communications and artificial intelligence (AI) hardware to advanced sensors and medical imaging, depend on photonic and semiconductor devices that precisely control the interaction ...
