Phys.org / Quantum emitter discovery in diamonds enables a new type of coupling
Researchers at The City College of New York have shown how a quantum emitter, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, interacts in unexpected ways with a specially engineered photonic structure when moved around with ...
Phys.org / Seeking a carbon-capture breakthrough: Solar-activated molecules rapidly trap CO₂, pointing to scalable solution
What tricks can organic molecules be taught to help solve our planet's biggest problems? That's the question driving Assistant Professor Richard Y. Liu as he pushes the frontiers of organic chemistry in pursuit of cleaner ...
Phys.org / Particle detector proves precision as it prepares to probe properties of quark-gluon plasma
A new and powerful particle detector just passed a critical test in its goal to decipher the ingredients of the early universe. The sPHENIX detector is the newest experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic ...
Phys.org / Solar flares may be 6.5 times hotter than previously thought
New research from the University of St Andrews has proposed that particles in solar flares are 6.5 times hotter than previously thought. The research provides an unexpected solution to a 50-year-old mystery about our nearest ...
Phys.org / Starfish break the rules of animal distribution
Animals and plants around the world are not randomly distributed. They appear to follow trends and patterns. But it's often difficult to figure out if the patterns we see in the natural world actually hold true. To prove ...
Phys.org / Deep learning method enables efficient Boltzmann distribution sampling across a continuous temperature range
A research team has developed a novel direct sampling method based on deep generative models. Their method enables efficient sampling of the Boltzmann distribution across a continuous temperature range. The findings have ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new fabrication approach that enables the exploration of a broader range of superconducting materials for quantum hardware.
Phys.org / DNA-based neural network learns from examples to solve problems
Neural networks are computing systems designed to mimic both the structure and function of the human brain. Caltech researchers have been developing a neural network made out of strands of DNA instead of electronic parts ...
Phys.org / New biocatalytic method can generate a library of novel molecules for drug discovery
Using reprogrammed biocatalysts, researchers are pushing the boundaries of enzymatic synthesis with a method that opens the door to a diverse array of valuable compounds. Reporting in the journal Science, UC Santa Barbara ...
Phys.org / A new scale of biology: Massive datasets are aiding in the fight against superbugs
Artificial intelligence relies on machine learning algorithms trained on massive datasets to make predictions—think of how ChatGPT learned language by gorging on the internet. In biology, however, scientists face a frustrating ...
Phys.org / Automated tool enables rapid, large-scale profiling of disease-linked RNA modifications
Researchers have developed a powerful tool capable of scanning thousands of biological samples to detect transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) modifications—tiny chemical changes to RNA molecules that help control how cells ...
Phys.org / The cling of doom: How staph bacteria latch onto human skin
Imagine a child with eczema who scratches a patch of irritated skin. A tiny opening forms, invisible to the eye. Into that breach slips a common bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus.
