Manchester's quantum researchers are building on the Ferranti Mark I legacy, using ultra-pure silicon and single atoms to move quantum computing closer to real-world impact.
Phys.org / Striped or checkered? Magnetic field influences competing electronic patterns in a graphene-like quantum material
In most everyday materials, such as copper, silver and silicon, the behavior of electrons is relatively predictable. In quantum materials, however, electrons can interact in complex ways, giving rise to collective electronic ...
Phys.org / National food waste recycling promises major climate gains but comes with microplastic risks
Keeping food waste out of landfills provides climate and other environmental benefits, and Vermont requires residents to divert these materials to better management pathways. With other states considering similar policies, ...

Phys.org / Soil organic carbon increases crop yield but can't help with extreme drought
In cases of extreme drought, soil organic carbon does not improve crop yields, Colorado State University research has found. The finding contradicts the commonly held belief that soil organic carbon benefits yields most during ...
Phys.org / Researchers find college-educated population more likely to shelter during dangerous wildfire smoke
American adults with college degrees now outlive those without degrees by more than eight years, in part because graduates appear to be more proactive about protecting their health. For example, they smoke cigarettes at far ...
Medical Xpress / Test offers new way to personalize treatment, reduce unnecessary chemotherapy for patients with breast cancer
A new cancer diagnostic test marketed by Veracyte and developed by a group of researchers, including UNC geneticist Charles Perou, Ph.D., has been found to accurately predict whether patients with breast cancer need chemotherapy ...
Tech Xplore / For the birds: Parakeet co-designs its own perch
Shiso, a ring-necked parakeet, can't speak English, but she knows how to make her preferences known. She has screaming fights with the dogs and cats in her household, snorts for attention and food, and perches on her human ...
