Phys.org / Quantum computers go high-dimensional with a four-state photon gate
The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum computer: The realization of a novel type of quantum logic gate makes it possible to carry out ...
Phys.org / Why community voices could make or break world's forest restoration plans
A new study has revealed a critical gap between global promises to restore forests and what is happening on the ground for the communities who depend on, manage and care for them. The research, led by researchers from The ...
Tech Xplore / Understanding the data center building boom
As artificial intelligence (AI) drives explosive growth in data centers, communities across the U.S. are facing rising electricity costs, new industrial development, and mounting strain on an aging power grid.
Medical Xpress / Science for living: Can using AI risk prediction in breast cancer screening improve early detection?
Artificial intelligence is transforming medicine, but what does that mean for breast cancer screening? Researchers at UMass Chan Medical School are exploring how an AI-based tool might help identify women at higher risk for ...
Medical Xpress / New GLP-1 pill orforglipron outperforms oral semaglutide in yearlong diabetes trial
A novel GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA) pill called orforglipron leads to a larger reduction in blood sugar levels after a year than the current available oral GLP-1 RA (semaglutide), finds a phase 3 randomized controlled trial ...
Phys.org / Survey finds most school administrators oppose arming teachers
Most superintendents and principals oppose the practice of arming teachers as a school-safety strategy, according to new research led by The University of Toledo's Dr. Brandon Wood.
Medical Xpress / Engineered liver scaffolds reveal how colorectal cancer hides and goes dormant
Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), cancer that has spread from the colon or rectum to the liver, have a deadly reputation. Due to its pervasive spread, typical cancer treatments like chemotherapy and surgical resection often ...
Medical Xpress / Centenarians' blood sheds light on the mechanisms of longevity
In Switzerland, 0.02% of the population lives beyond the age of 100. Could there be biological characteristics associated with this exceptional longevity? As part of the "SWISS100" study, the first large-scale Swiss research ...
Phys.org / Atom-thin electronics withstand space radiation, potentially surviving for centuries in orbit
Atom-thick layers of molybdenum disulfide are ideally suited for radiation-resistant spacecraft electronics, researchers in China have confirmed. In a study published in Nature, Peng Zhou and colleagues at Fudan University ...
Medical Xpress / App aids substance use recovery in vulnerable populations
Although drug overdose deaths declined in the U.S. last year, the rate of substance use disorder is rising, and the problem remains undertreated: Fewer than one in five people with substance use disorder report that they've ...
Phys.org / Hair-width LEDs could eventually replace lasers
LEDs no wider than a human hair could soon take on work traditionally handled by lasers, from moving data inside server racks to powering next-generation displays. New research co-authored by UC Santa Barbara doctoral student ...
Phys.org / Fries with that? Ordering from AI linked to selecting more indulgent foods
As a growing number of fast-food chains adopt artificial intelligence (AI) technology for drive-thru ordering, customers are more likely to order indulgent food options when interacting with voice AI rather than a human employee, ...
