Phys.org / Researchers craft a new, simple recipe for highly entangled quantum states
Building useful quantum technologies—from sensors to computers—requires generating highly complex entangled states, in which the properties of particles are deeply intertwined. Producing such states has traditionally required ...
Phys.org / Artemis II moon mission research continues on Earth
Since NASA's Artemis II crew members safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 10 after their record-setting mission around the moon, science teams have been busy collecting more data and combing through observations ...
Medical Xpress / Upcoming billing change could make pregnancy pricier
Having a baby in the United States is about to get more complicated. Under new billing codes that take effect in January, doctors who manage maternity care will start charging à la carte for visits and services related to ...
Phys.org / Satellites reveal cities' 'urban pulse,' tracking neighborhood growth in near real time
For over a century, doctors have used electrocardiograms (EKGs) to render the invisible electrical activity of the human heart visible, using the pulse to diagnose disease before it becomes fatal. Now, scientists have invented ...
Medical Xpress / New map reveals how antidepressants reshape the brain's serotonin system
A new study has uncovered how antidepressants affect different groups of serotonin-producing brain cells in opposite ways, offering new insights into why selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can cause unpleasant ...
Tech Xplore / Autonomous drone can deliver life jackets to people that fall overboard
It's a race against the clock when someone falls overboard: People's chances of being found before they drown from exhaustion or freeze to death dwindle by the minute. Rescue efforts are often hampered by the time it takes ...
Dialog / A 170 km journey by a freshwater stingray challenges long-held conservation assumptions
Most sharks and rays inhabit the oceans, but a small proportion thrive in freshwater. Approximately 4% to 5% of all shark and ray species live in tropical and subtropical rivers around the world. Two main ecological strategies ...
Phys.org / Aerosols may warm or cool the climate depending on timing, new study finds
A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem challenges a long-held assumption in climate science by showing that aerosols—tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere—can either warm or cool the climate, depending on ...
Phys.org / Lighter X-ray aprons could spare health care workers from chronic pain
A light, flexible polymer material developed at the University of Waterloo could replace the lead in heavy X-ray aprons, providing the same protection from harmful radiation while reducing their weight by almost 90%.
Phys.org / How Artemis II livestreamed hi-def videos and images from the moon to Earth
This April, humanity had front-row seats to space as the Artemis II Orion spacecraft transmitted crystal-clear footage of its historic journey around the moon from more than 250,000 miles (about 402,000 kilometers) back to ...
Phys.org / Yeast experiments reveal an evolutionarily conserved backup route for making a molecule that's essential to life
Hiroshima University researchers say a newly proposed three-step "detour" pathway for making dolichol, a molecule cells need to properly process proteins, may be more universal than scientists realized. Experiments in yeast ...
Tech Xplore / Human–AI jam session shapes live music with swarm intelligence
Have you ever seen birds flying across the sky in shifting, mesmerizing patterns? Or ants using their own bodies to form a living bridge that other ants can walk across?
