Phys.org / 'Don't scare the cat!' Engineers find smarter way to measure quantum systems
UNSW Sydney engineers have riffed on the famous Schrödinger's cat analogy to demonstrate a more efficient way to eliminate errors in quantum computing.
Phys.org / Ancient dental calculus uncovers regional and historical shifts in Japan's oral microbiome
Researchers have characterized the oral microbiomes of the Japanese population across time by analyzing the DNA preserved in dental calculus of human skeletal remains. The researchers compared microbial composition in dental ...
Tech Xplore / Nintendo agrees to 35 mn euro French fine over faulty Switch controllers
Nintendo said Monday that it would pay a fine of 35 million euros ($40 million) to settle a French claim over faulty controllers on its Switch consoles.
Phys.org / Solar sails edge closer to reality, but interstellar travel is another story
From planetary rovers and asteroid sample return missions to the recent Artemis II flight above the far side of the moon, we are seemingly good at doing space. But our achievements still do not match many of our space dreams, ...
Tech Xplore / Nvidia unveils AI infrastructure deals in South Korea
US chip titan Nvidia on Monday announced a large-scale data center construction project in South Korea with SK Telecom, among a raft of other business deals in the country.
Phys.org / Strange winds on seven hot Jupiters reveal strongest signs yet of exoplanet magnetic activity
A team of astronomers has found the strongest evidence yet that some planets outside our solar system may be magnetic. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) and the Gemini North telescope, ...
Phys.org / A very strong El Niño is approaching. Here's what we can expect
El Niño is a recurring climate event with impacts across the globe. It has three phases: one cold (known as La Niña), one neutral, and one warm (El Niño).
Phys.org / Scientists identify the origin of noise in spin qubit quantum processors
A spin qubit, in which quantum information is encoded in the spin state of an electron, is one of the most promising platforms for quantum computing. Spin qubits exhibit long coherence times and are compatible with advanced ...
Phys.org / Single cell transforms into cannibalistic 'supergiant,' swallowing its clones whole
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have discovered a microscopic organism that can transform into a cannibalistic "supergiant" that drastically changes size, shape, and behavior, and abandons filter-feeding ...
Phys.org / Rare meteorite provides evidence of giant early planet
Four-and-a-half billion years ago, a massive world—possibly as big as the moon or even Mars—orbited our sun before crashing into another celestial body and shattering into rubble. Now, in a paper published in the journal ...
Medical Xpress / First AI-designed 'universal vaccine' tested in humans: UK researchers
A vaccine targeting a broad range of viruses that was designed using artificial intelligence had a "modest" effect on immune systems in a small, early trial, according to a new study.
Phys.org / Hair-size microrobots combine three cancer-fighting functions in preclinical animal tests
Imagine a future where cancer treatment affects only the tumor, where eye injections are no longer required and brain surgeries don't result in large incisions or long recovery times. That's the future researchers at Michigan ...
