Tech Xplore / Back to the future: Is light-speed analog computing on the horizon?
Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in analog computing, developing a programmable electronic circuit that harnesses the properties of high-frequency electromagnetic waves to perform complex parallel processing at light-speed.

Phys.org / Physicists develop new quantum sensor at the atomic lattice scale
From computer chips to quantum dots—technological platforms were only made possible thanks to a detailed understanding of the used solid-state materials, such as silicon or more complex semiconductor materials. This understanding ...

Phys.org / California physicist and Nobel laureate John Martinis won't quit on quantum computers
A California physicist and Nobel laureate who laid the foundation for quantum computing isn't done working.

Tech Xplore / Novel AI tool opens 3D modeling to blind and low-vision programmers
Blind and low-vision programmers have long been locked out of three-dimensional modeling software, which depends on sighted users dragging, rotating and inspecting shapes on screen.

Phys.org / Deforestation can cause eight-fold increase in flood event risk
New research, based on forest fires in Australia, proves there is a significantly higher risk of large-scale flooding when major deforestation has occurred in catchment areas. The chance of large-scale flooding in a specific ...

Medical Xpress / 'Playing to your strengths' improves well-being in adult ADHD, new research shows
Adults with ADHD who recognize and regularly use their personal strengths report better well-being, improved quality of life and fewer mental health difficulties, according to a new international study.

Medical Xpress / Newborn genomic screening can enable more lifesaving diagnoses
Adding genomic sequencing to newborn blood screening would detect hundreds of additional childhood conditions, providing much earlier diagnosis and treatment, according to a new study. A baby's genome, which stays with them ...

Phys.org / Women portrayed as younger than men online, and AI amplifies the bias
U.S. Census data shows no systematic age differences between men and women in the workforce over the past decade. And globally, women on average live about five years longer than men. But that's not what you'll see if you ...

Medical Xpress / Bird flu persists in raw milk cheese, study demonstrates
Raw milk cheese products contained infectious avian influenza virus when made with contaminated raw milk, creating potential health risks for consumers, according to a new study.

Medical Xpress / Novel immunotherapy combination destroys colorectal liver metastases
Advanced colon cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in young American men and the second highest worldwide. In the majority of these patients, as the cancer advances it metastasizes to the liver. Despite progress ...

Phys.org / Splitting water: How order and disorder direct chemical reactivity
In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, order and disorder ...

Phys.org / Orthopedic implants aim to last longer with liquid metal-based nanomaterials
A pioneering liquid metal combination is shaping up as a potential secret weapon in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance, and promises to outlast existing implant materials.
