Solar panels have become the most iconic symbol of the clean energy transition. They cover rooftops, stretch across deserts and quietly convert sunlight into electricity without emitting carbon dioxide. But hidden behind ...
Phys.org / Rare-earth ions could enable telecom-ready control of interacting qubits
Quantum technologies are devices and systems that exploit the laws of quantum mechanics and could perform tasks that are difficult or impossible to tackle using their classical counterparts. These technologies process and ...
Phys.org / New twist on the Einstein problem reveals unexpected physics
A shape that captured worldwide attention for solving a decades-old mathematical puzzle has returned to the spotlight. While the shape's properties allowed it to solve previous puzzles, little is known about its other associated ...
Phys.org / In seconds, fiber optic cables detect earthquake size
Scientists have discovered a new way to determine how big an earthquake may become just seconds after it begins. In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Cal ...
Tech Xplore / Strike a pose: Creating more realistic multi-person images
Generating an image of a person on a computer using text prompts is easy. Generating one with two people is similarly simple. But creating an image of multiple people actually doing something, and faithfully reproducing not ...
Science X / One long brisk walk may protect your brain from dementia and anxiety more than short walks put together
Exercise is well known for keeping the brain healthy, but does how we move matter as much as how much we move? In a recent study, researchers investigated whether sustained periods of physical activity offer greater long-term ...
