Tech Xplore / Spintronic hardware unlocks faster, lower-energy optimization, outpacing tested quantum annealers
Solving complex optimization problems is central to many modern technologies, from logistics and financial modeling to chip design, communications and artificial intelligence (AI). However, as these problems grow in size, ...
Phys.org / Massive sturgeon once bred in Britain's rivers, boosting reintroduction hopes
Atlantic and European sturgeon once called Britain's rivers home and could do so again, following research using Natural History Museum specimens. These fish are among the biggest found in Europe and undertake epic migrations ...
Medical Xpress / COVID's lingering shadow faded after omicron—but not for everyone
Six years after the world first learned of COVID-19, the pandemic has faded into an unpleasant memory for many. For others, however, it never fully ended. A long-term study by Hiroshima University has found that while lingering ...
Phys.org / Last-minute launch problem delays satellite rescue mission for NASA
A rush rescue mission to save a NASA space telescope remains grounded, this time because of a last-minute launch problem.
Phys.org / Quantum semiconductor design could expand search for dark matter
Dark matter accounts for 85% of the matter in the universe, but scientists still do not know what it is made of. A study, published in Physical Review Letters, by Rice University researchers proposes a detector design that ...
Medical Xpress / Study: Mexico's infant mortality rates did not improve from 2014 to 2023
Over the decade from 2014 to 2023, Mexico's infant death rate barely budged, suggesting the country hit a wall in saving babies' lives—even as official paperwork claimed that almost all babies had a medical professional present ...
Phys.org / We can't air-condition our way out of a hotter future, says expert
As temperatures rise around the world, air conditioning is saving lives. But a growing reliance on it is also placing unprecedented pressure on electricity grids, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and making cities even ...
Tech Xplore / Polymer cold spray can restore up to 80% of strength in damaged composite materials
Rowan University researchers have demonstrated a new method for repairing damage in advanced composite materials, offering a faster, more effective alternative to conventional repair techniques used in industries such as ...
Tech Xplore / Tesla global auto sales jump 25% in 2nd quarter, beating expectations
Tesla reported a jump in second-quarter auto sales Thursday, as Elon Musk's electric vehicle company easily topped expectations in a period of lofty gasoline prices due to the U.S.-Iran war.
Phys.org / How much do friends influence teens' mental health? What a new study can (and can't) tell us
During adolescence, young people become especially sensitive to peer influence—more so than at any other time in life. So how does this affect their mental health?
Medical Xpress / BCG vaccine may rewire brain immunity, shift Alzheimer's markers over 12 months
New research led by Mass General Brigham investigators suggests that the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine—which is delivered through the skin to prevent tuberculosis—may remodel the human brain's immune environment, ...
Phys.org / Analog gravity advance offers new insights into Hawking radiation from black holes
Hawking radiation is a form of radiation emitted by black holes, as theoretically predicted by Stephen Hawking. It suggests that black holes do not merely swallow matter—as had previously been assumed—but also emit very faint ...
