Phys.org / Quantum machine learning nears practicality as partial error correction reduces hardware demands
Imagine a future where quantum computers supercharge machine learning—training models in seconds, extracting insights from massive datasets and powering next-gen AI. That future might be closer than you think, thanks to ...
Phys.org / New iron telluride thin film achieves superconductivity for quantum computer chips
If quantum computing is going to become an every-day reality, we need better superconducting thin films, the hardware that enables storage and processing of quantum information. Too often, these thin films have impurities ...
Phys.org / Roman urbanism was bad for health, new study confirms
Analysis of skeletal remains from England before and during Roman occupation confirms theories that the population's health declined under Roman occupation, but only in the urban centers, suggesting pre-Roman traditions continued ...
Phys.org / Dual substitution induces room-temperature ferromagnetism and negative thermal expansion in BiFeO₃
Using a dual-cation substitution approach, researchers at Science Tokyo introduced ferromagnetism into bismuth ferrite, a well-known and promising multiferroic material for next-generation memory technologies. By replacing ...
Phys.org / Fossils reveal sea cows have engineered Arabian Gulf's seagrass ecosystems for over 20 million years
Today, the Arabian Gulf is home to manatee-like marine mammals called dugongs that shape the seafloor as they graze on seagrasses. A newly described fossil site in Qatar reveals that ancient sea cows engineered aquatic ecosystems ...
Phys.org / Earliest botanical art hints at prehistoric mathematical thinking
A new study published in the Journal of World Prehistory reveals that some of humanity's earliest artistic representations of botanical figures were far more than decorative; they were mathematical.
Medical Xpress / Reversing treatment resistance in prostate cancer: Study solves longstanding puzzle in tumor biology
Scientists at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) have discovered a key mechanism that makes prostate cancer cells resistant to the latest drugs used to treat them. Their findings, reported in the current ...
Phys.org / Orca tail dolphins to hunt salmon—and may share the catch
Killer whales or orca (Orcinus orca) have been observed hunting with Pacific white-sided dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens) in the waters off British Columbia, Canada, and sharing fish scraps with them after making a kill, ...
Medical Xpress / Soft 'cyborg' cardiac patches could improve stem cell heart repair
Heart muscle cells grown from patient stem cells—known as human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes, or hiPSC-CMs—are a promising way to repair hearts damaged by heart attacks and heart failure. But ...
Tech Xplore / EU 2035 combustion-engine ban review: What's at stake
The European Commission is expected to announce on Tuesday measures relaxing a 2035 ban on new gasoline and diesel car sales.
Phys.org / Ancient supernova may hold key to universe's mysterious dark energy
Astronomers are a step closer to cracking one of the secrets of dark energy—the mysterious force believed to be causing the universe's accelerated expansion.
Phys.org / Twisting spins: Researchers explore chemical boundaries to create new magnetic material
Florida State University researchers have created a new crystalline material with unusual magnetic patterns that could be used for breakthroughs in data storage and quantum technologies.
