Alice & Bob's research enhances fault-tolerant quantum computing using 'cat qubits,' minimizing bit-flips and phase-flips for chemistry and materials science advancements. Bit-flip protection increased 160x.
Contagious yawning may be linked to mirror neurons, social connection, and even hazard awareness. Studies show it's more common between familiar individuals and may help synchronize group behavior. Lions research added.
Smart rings are gaining popularity for health and sleep tracking. They offer advantages in comfort and certain measurements but face challenges in accuracy and comprehensive fitness tracking compared to smartwatches. Future rings may track more metrics.
Scientists detected DMS & DMDS, potential biosignatures, on exoplanet K2-18b using JWST. This discovery strengthens the possibility of alien life on this habitable zone planet. DMS, DMDS, exoplanet, biosignature.
Solar eruptions and CMEs triggered geomagnetic storms, creating spectacular auroras across the Northern Hemisphere. A G3 geomagnetic storm watch is in place. Northern Lights may be visible again tonight!
Explore the diverse world of primates, from their evolution and diets (including omnivores and meat-eaters) to their complex social structures and tool use. Discover key primate groups and their unique adaptations.
Lake Razazah in Iraq transforms due to drought, revealing vibrant algae colors and crop circles. Water diversion for irrigation intensifies salinity, impacting the lake's ecosystem.
Dinosaur footprints from the Middle Jurassic period (168-166 million years ago) have been discovered on the Isle of Skye. The tracks reveal theropods and sauropods dinosaurs in a shallow lagoon.
Science reveals race is a social construct, not biological reality. Early studies tried to define race by physical traits, but modern genetics and anthropology show human variation is fluid and socially defined. Race: social construct.
These findings indicate that contact between ancient communities on both sides of the Arabian Gulf resulted in shared musical traditions central to rituals and religious beliefs, Douglas’ team says.
The handle is ergonomically designed for little hands, making it easy to grip and move around the mouth, while the extra soft bristles are gentle on tiny teeth and gums, ensuring a comfortable brushing experience for even the most sensitive tots.
Noriyuki Isobe at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology in Yokosuka and his colleagues discovered that when cellulose is treated with a solution of lithium bromide, it doesn’t require a coagulant – it can simply be left to dry instead.
It boasts hundreds of workout modes, has 5ATM water resistance and an outstanding battery life of 24 days, plus you can monitor your heart rate, blood oxygen, stress levels, sleep and more — all for a bargain price.
The researchers explored how vaccination against shingles — an illness that develops when the virus causing chicken pox reactivates later in life — might influence dementia risk, finding a more prominent effect in women than in men.
Wind, solar and hydropower currently make up about half of China’s power generation capacity, and are expected to increase to almost 90 per cent by 2060, when the country has pledged to reach “carbon neutrality”.
Two protons (indicated with p’s) collide at the LHCb experiment, producing a lambda-b baryon comprised of three quarks — dubbed up (u), down (d) and bottom (b) — that decays into various other particles (colored lines).
All of these bottlenecks have presented major challenges to companies working to boost AI’s performance, causing scores on evaluation benchmarks toplateau and OpenAI's rumored GPT-5 model to never appear, some of the survey respondents said.
