Phys.org / Researchers discover a new superfluid phase in non-Hermitian quantum systems
A stable "exceptional fermionic superfluid," a new quantum phase that intrinsically hosts singularities known as exceptional points, has been discovered by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo.
Tech Xplore / AI models stumble on basic multiplication without special training methods, study finds
These days, large language models can handle increasingly complex tasks, writing complex code and engaging in sophisticated reasoning. But when it comes to four-digit multiplication, a task taught in elementary school, even ...
Medical Xpress / Combination therapy for Burkitt's lymphoma dramatically improves cure rates in mice
Burkitt's lymphoma is a rare and aggressive blood cancer characterized by a translocation of the MYC gene. It occurs most often in children and young adults. In recent years, CAR-T cell therapy—often referred to as a "living ...
Phys.org / AI model uses social media posts to predict unemployment rates ahead of official data
Social media posts about unemployment can predict official jobless claims up to two weeks before government data is released, according to a study. Unemployment can be tough, and people often post about it online.
