Phys.org / Hubble details early galaxy transforming neighborhood 1.4 billion years after Big Bang
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found something they never expected—ultraviolet light from a galaxy that existed just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. That galaxy contains tightly clustered young ...
Phys.org / Pathway to high-fidelity quantum computing identified
Researchers from the University of Sydney, working with IBM, have identified and quantified important factors limiting the performance of quantum computers and demonstrated ways to overcome their impact.
Phys.org / Scientists create optical skyrmions using a two-century-old light phenomenon
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) scientists have used a classic optical phenomenon known as the Poisson spot to create stable patterns of light called optical skyrmions, which are tiny, swirling ...
Phys.org / Wave-packet interferometry captures elusive dark excitons in organic superconductor
In a recent study, Manish Garg, independent group leader at Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (MPI FKF), succeeded in probing the local properties of bright and dark excitons in the organic superconductor copper ...
Phys.org / How sperm whale vocal dialects evolve as they adopt new calls while still remembering the old
New research from the University of St. Andrews shows how sperm whale vocal dialects evolve as they adopt new calls while still remembering the old. An international team of researchers studying vocal dialects in the endangered ...
Phys.org / Graphene plasmon cavities enable advanced and scalable terahertz photodetectors
How could we noninvasively distinguish between healthy and cancerous tissue? And how could we increase the speed of wireless communications? These two seemingly unrelated questions may share the same answer: terahertz (THz) ...
Phys.org / Hidden dark force may slow cosmic structure growth, not speed it up
Dark matter is often portrayed as a cosmic loner, interacting with itself and the rest of the universe only through gravity. But what if dark matter particles also exert a hidden force on one another?
Phys.org / Espresso 'pucks' stop behaving predictably above certain pressures
When a physics student asked baristas at the Warsaw Coffee Conference what their biggest question for scientists was, the baristas said they wanted to know how to stop channeling during brewing.
Phys.org / Chloroplast study reveals molecular lock that helps power life on Earth
A new study reveals the dynamics of photosynthesis at the cellular level. Led by co-authors Professor Barry Bruce and Associate Professor Rajan Lamichhane, both of the Department of Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular ...
Phys.org / Looking at AI startups to predict which jobs AI will affect
A study of funded AI startups provides a glimpse of which jobs may be most affected by AI. As AI tools are embraced by industry after industry, the impacts of these tools on jobs remain unclear. Previous analyses have focused ...
Phys.org / Why warmer seas may not wipe out female fish in some species
In many fish species, water temperature determines the sex of the fry. This biological mechanism threatens to wipe out entire populations because of a shortage of females in the face of global warming. However, an international ...
Phys.org / Nanoparticles sneak antibodies into cells to inhibit cancer and inflammation
A delivery system that uses lipid nanoparticles to sneak proteins into cells can accomplish the same feat by smuggling therapeutic antibodies, new research has found.
