Phys.org / Quantum circuit test finally exposes what has been warping performance
Quantum computers could someday solve pressing problems that are too convoluted for classical computers, such as modeling complex molecular interactions to streamline drug discovery and materials development.
Phys.org / Study identifies geysers the JUICE mission could explore on Ganymede
Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, is also the solar system's largest satellite, even larger than the planet Mercury. It is also the only celestial body aside from Earth (and the gas giants) to have an intrinsic magnetic field. ...
Medical Xpress / New genomic approaches uncover surprising cellular dynamics of the aging brain
While much is mysterious about the aging process, change over time remains its cornerstone. The biological shifts that accompany aging seemingly occur in many cells in the body. The problem is, we have tens of billions of ...
Medical Xpress / The UK's NHS surgery backlogs can't be fixed by hiring alone, study warns
Researchers from some of the UK's leading academic institutions have warned that simply hiring more National Health service (NHS) staff will not be enough to reduce surgery backlogs, in research published in the Journal of ...
Tech Xplore / Open-source 'digital twin' enables end-to-end testing of applications over wireless
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed an open-source "digital twin" of a wireless network, giving graduate students, startups and other innovators a free, easy-to-use way to test new technologies ...
Medical Xpress / New meta-analysis finds no increased risk to children's brain development from fathers' use of valproate
A comprehensive review of existing research shows no evidence that men's use of the anti-seizure medication valproate increases the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders—such as autism and ADHD—in their children.
Phys.org / Gentle, laser-driven flows enable precise 3D imaging of delicate samples
Until now, it has been technically nearly impossible to rotate highly sensitive samples in all directions under a microscope without making contact. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed ...
Phys.org / DNA 'barcodes' help researchers pinpoint gold nanoparticles that can strike cancer at its power source
Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a high-throughput method to identify gold nanoparticles capable of delivering therapies directly to mitochondria (the energy centers inside cancer cells). ...
Phys.org / How invading cancer cells grip and rip their way into new tissues
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered that cancer cells do not simply push through surrounding tissues to spread, but instead actively grip onto protective tissue barriers and pull them ...
Phys.org / A deep‑ocean climate plan wins rare EPA approval, but is sinking plants in the sea the answer?
Innovators who are working on ways to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to fight climate change are having a tough time lately.
Phys.org / Self-activating catalysts boost hydrogen output by reshaping themselves during electrolysis
To what extent can self-activating catalysts enhance hydrogen production in electrolyzers? Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have investigated this question, and their findings were published in Advanced ...
Phys.org / DeepAFM decodes protein motion from noisy images with 93.4% accuracy
In 2018, an artificial intelligence (AI) program called AlphaFold achieved a major breakthrough by placing first in the critical assessment of structure prediction, a competition for predicting the three-dimensional structures ...
