Phys.org / Quantum-centric supercomputing simulates 12,635-atom protein
The scale of chemistry simulations with quantum computing has increased dramatically in just the last few months. In the latest milestone for the field, researchers from Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN, and IBM used a quantum-centric ...
Phys.org / Revealing the invisible: A new baseline for Salish Sea diatoms answers a global call
As primary producers at the base of marine food webs, diatoms are key indicators of environmental change, providing critical insight into the health and resilience of the Salish Sea bioregion. A team of Canadian scientists ...
Phys.org / America's last-mile delivery divide: How geography has shaped the nation's shift to online shopping
New research shows that Americans' use of home delivery continues to be split sharply along geographic lines, with shoppers in urban areas remaining more reliant on home delivery than rural households. In a new study published ...
Phys.org / Decoding the balance between life-and-death proteins
In every organism, the regulation of cell populations is a constant process. This balance relies on a continuous interplay between "guardian" proteins that promote cell survival and "killer" proteins that trigger programmed ...
Phys.org / Climate report says world won't get as hot as feared but will pass warming limit
Scientists are jettisoning their worst and best case scenarios for a warming world as no longer plausible. That shows how modest gains in the fight to curb climate change have dialed back the most catastrophic of future heating ...
Tech Xplore / Toward power-generating displays: A single device that harvests and emits light
A newly developed organic semiconductor device can both generate electricity from light and emit bright visible light, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. By carefully designing a material where energy losses are ...
Tech Xplore / Building the future with robotic construction
On April 24, the Architectural Robotic Construction Lab ( ARC Lab) in The University of Texas at Arlington's College of Architecture, Planning and Public Affairs demonstrated its new large-scale 3D printing technology.
Medical Xpress / Therapy at your fingertips: New study finds AI could transform mental health care
A new study from Reichman University, published in JAMA Network Open, has found that an AI-based conversational support platform can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, form a meaningful therapeutic alliance ...
Phys.org / Proteins that create ice inspire 'cool' applications, from cryomedicine to artificial snow
Bacteria from the Middle East have caused precipitation all the way out in California. The same bacteria, which are known to attack plants, have also been found embedded within lumps of hail in West Africa.
Phys.org / Brutal field trip provides new insights into Arctic winter
It was the hardest field trip they had ever been on, but the result was both surprising and exciting. After hiking 9 kilometers with a 400-meter elevation gain and carrying heavy backpacks through very rocky terrain, the ...
Phys.org / Warming accelerates ecological state shift and loss of kelp forest along Maine coast
The loss of dense kelp forests along the Maine coast—and the northward proliferation of small, carpet-like turf algae in its place—is accelerating as the ocean warms, according to new research by scientists at Bigelow Laboratory ...
Medical Xpress / Sedative choice in pediatric intensive care may influence long-term neurocognitive outcomes
A new Penn Nursing study suggests that the specific sedatives used during critical illness in early childhood may have long-term implications for a child's neurocognitive development. Martha A.Q. Curley, Ph.D., RN, FAAN, ...
