Phys.org / Quantum coherence could be preserved at large scales in realistic environments
Quantum states are notoriously fragile, and can be destroyed simply through interactions, measurements, and exposure to their surrounding environments. In a new theoretical study published in Physical Review X, Rohan Mittal ...
Phys.org / A million new SpaceX satellites will destroy the night sky—for everyone on Earth
More than 10,000 Starlink satellites currently orbit Earth. We see them crawling across dark skies, no matter how remote our location, and streaking through images from research telescopes.
Phys.org / Underground lab clears crucial hurdle for dark matter hunt
Australia's bid to detect elusive dark matter has taken a major step forward, with new research confirming that cosmic radiation levels deep inside the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL) are low enough to support ...
Tech Xplore / New memristor design uses built-in oxygen gradient to bring stability to reinforcement learning
In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers created a memristor that uses a built-in oxygen gradient to produce slow, stable conductance changes, enabling a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm to learn ...
Phys.org / Gravitational waves as possible candidates for the origin of dark matter
Gravitational waves could be responsible for the production of dark matter during the early phases of our universe's formation, according to results of a new study by Professor Joachim Kopp from Johannes Gutenberg University ...
Medical Xpress / Peeled garlic recalled over risk of deadly botulism
Some peeled garlic is being recalled because it may pose a risk for a serious type of food poisoning.
Medical Xpress / USDA warns of lead risk in frozen dino-shaped chicken nuggets
Food safety officials are warning the public not to eat certain frozen chicken nuggets after tests found dangerous levels of lead.
Phys.org / Ghostly particles: Dark radiation may have masqueraded as neutrinos
New research suggests that neutrinos in the early universe may have transformed into a previously unknown form of radiation. A study from Washington University in St. Louis offers a new way to explain certain puzzling observations ...
Phys.org / Thirty previously unpublished verses by Empedocles discovered on a papyrus from Cairo
A 2,000-year-old papyrus fragment, discovered in the archives of the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology in Cairo, reveals 30 previously unpublished verses by Empedocles, a pre-Socratic philosopher of the fifth century ...
Phys.org / Lakes forming next to Greenland's melting ice sheet are speeding up glacier flow
A growing network of meltwater lakes at the edge of the Greenland ice sheet is accelerating the flow of major glaciers, potentially increasing the pace of global sea-level rise. Warmer air and sea temperatures have led to ...
Phys.org / AI writes a research paper that passes peer review
To date, the main role of AI in scientific research has been to assist with narrow tasks such as discovering chemical structures, analyzing data or predicting protein shapes. But now, the technology has broken new ground ...
Tech Xplore / Alkaline steel and cement wastewater could capture 30 million tons of CO₂ annually
Alkaline industrial wastewaters from steel or cement production are ideally suited to bind and sequester carbon dioxide (CO₂) chemically, safely, and for the long term. This is the result of a study conducted by the Helmholtz-Zentrum ...
