Phys.org / Quantum entanglement pushes optical clocks to new precision
By replacing single atoms with an entangled pair of ions, physicists in Germany have demonstrated unprecedented stability in an optical clock. Publishing their results in Physical Review Letters, a team led by Kai Dietze ...
Tech Xplore / Humanoid robots that 'catch themselves' instead of falling: What a new walking algorithm changes
While the statement, "Humanoid robots are coming," might cause anxiety for some, for one Georgia Tech research team, working with humanlike robots couldn't be more exciting. The researchers have developed a new "thinking" ...
Medical Xpress / 'Kick it while it's down' approach to cancer treatment could improve cure rates
A new study provides hope that smarter timing of cancer treatments could improve cure rates. The study's Principal Investigator, Dr. Robert Noble, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Mathematics, City, St George's, University ...
Tech Xplore / Physics-aware AI algorithm uses Newton's third law to keep simulations stable
A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account the laws of physics—using Newton's third law. Their research is published in the journal Nature ...
Phys.org / 'All-in-one,' single-atom could power both sides of water splitting
Green hydrogen production technology, which utilizes renewable energy to produce eco-friendly hydrogen without carbon emissions, is gaining attention as a core technology for addressing global warming. Green hydrogen is produced ...
Medical Xpress / DeepRare AI outperforms doctors on rare disease diagnosis in head-to-head test
Rare diseases are complex medical disorders that are notoriously difficult to diagnose because many present with a wide variety of symptoms that can overlap with more common illnesses. Currently, around 300 million people ...
Phys.org / A survival strategy inside stressed cells: Ribosomes in pairs
Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients or sudden drops in ...
Phys.org / How massive lava fields formed in the Pacific Northwest
Volcanic eruptions are significant geologic hazards. Underwater volcanoes are challenging to study, yet they play an integral role in marine geology and may cause destructive tsunamis that can threaten coastal communities.
Phys.org / New 'scimitar-crested' Spinosaurus species discovered in the central Sahara
A paper published in Science describes the discovery of Spinosaurus mirabilis, a new spinosaurid species found in Niger. A 20-person team led by Paul Sereno, Ph.D., Professor of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University ...
Phys.org / 3D method can accurately measure gravity in wide binary stars, as demonstrated by pilot study
Since the third Gaia data release in 2022, wide binary stars with separation greater than several thousand astronomical units have been intensely investigated across the world, to probe the nature of gravity in the low acceleration ...
Phys.org / REGALADE: The most extensive catalog of galaxies for modern astronomy
An international team of scientists led by the Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC) has presented REGALADE, an unprecedented catalog covering ...
Medical Xpress / Adolescent cannabis use linked to doubling risk of psychotic and bipolar disorders
Adolescents who use cannabis could face a significantly higher risk of developing serious psychiatric disorders by young adulthood, according to a large study published in JAMA Health Forum. The longitudinal study followed ...
