Phys.org / Adaptive method helps light-based quantum processors act more like neural networks
Machine learning models called convolutional neural networks (CNNs) power technologies like image recognition and language translation. A quantum counterpart—known as a quantum convolutional neural network (QCNN)—could ...
Phys.org / New X-ray method captures 3 image-contrast types in a single shot
University of Houston researchers developed a new X-ray imaging method capable of revealing hidden features in a single shot, a breakthrough that could advance cancer detection, disease monitoring, security screening and ...
Phys.org / Looping long-necked dinosaur site reveals its secrets
An analysis of a unique looping trail of ancient footprints in the United States reveals the dinosaur which made it may have been limping.
Phys.org / Puzzling ultraviolet radiation in the birthplaces of stars
Researchers used the MIRI instrument onboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to identify the presence of ultraviolet radiation in five young stars in the Ophiuchus region, and to understand its role in the formation ...
Phys.org / Covalent organic frameworks grown through coupling reactions unlock new class of semiconducting magnets
Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a methodology to enable coupling reactions for the growth of crystalline porous covalent organic frameworks, unlocking a new class of semiconducting magnets. ...
Phys.org / Quantum key distribution enables secure communication via hybrid and mobile channels
As part of the QuNET project, researchers have demonstrated how quantum key distribution works reliably via hybrid and mobile channels. The results are milestones for sovereign, quantum-secured communication in Germany and ...
Phys.org / Defining work and heat in quantum systems: Laser light coherence offers a consistent approach
Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new approach to applying thermodynamics to microscopic quantum systems.
Phys.org / The mystery of hanging coffins: Are modern Bo people the genetic heirs of an ancient burial tradition?
A new study has uncovered a direct genetic link between ancient practitioners of the Hanging Coffin burial tradition and the modern Bo people in Southwest China. The findings published in Nature Communications offer unprecedented ...
Phys.org / How carbonates influence CO₂-to-fuel conversion: New insights from gold electrocatalysts
Researchers from the Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society (FHI) have uncovered how carbonate molecules affect the conversion of CO2 into valuable fuels on gold electrocatalysts. ...
Phys.org / Using peat as sustainable precursor for fuel cell catalyst materials
Iron-nitrogen-carbon catalysts have the potential to replace the more expensive platinum catalysts currently used in fuel cells. This is shown by a study conducted by researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB), Physikalisch-Technische ...
Phys.org / Seal milk more refined than breast milk, research reveals
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have discovered that milk from gray seals in the Atlantic Ocean may be more potent than breast milk. An analysis of seal milk found approximately 33% more sugar molecules than in ...
Phys.org / Microplastics pose a human health risk in more ways than one
A new study shows that microplastics in the natural environment are colonized by pathogenic and antimicrobial resistant bacteria. The study team calls for urgent action for waste management and strongly recommends wearing ...
