The proposed method is particularly suited to superconducting quantum computers, one of the leading platforms being developed for large-scale quantum computing. Chalmers is using this technology to ...

The results add to evidence that dark energy, the unknown component believed to drive that expansion, may evolve rather than remain constant. Type Ia supernovae occur when white dwarf stars undergo ...

CERN physicists have found that quantum entanglement can survive even among heavy, short-lived particles created in some of the most extreme collisions on Earth. Credit: CERN Particles left behind by ...

Scientists have long thought that tau, the protein that forms Alzheimer’s tangles, moves into the wrong parts of neurons as the disease develops. New research suggests the story starts much earlier ...

Fragrance chemicals released by common cleaners can react with ozone in indoor air within minutes, according to research led by Brandon Boor. The reaction occurred with both conventional products and ...

Scientists are testing an experimental nanoparticle vaccine designed to train the immune system to intercept opioids before they reach the brain. Credit: Shutterstock. Researchers ...

In a study of U.S. veterans over 55, researchers found that the brain’s response continued to change over the following week, with one pattern of activity linked to greater relief from depressive ...

One example is single-cell RNA sequencing. Known as scRNA-seq, the technology has changed how researchers understand the diversity of cells within tissues by showing that individual cells can produce ...

To find out what people gain from that consistent stride, the researchers asked human volunteers to try walking more like chimpanzees. Instead of landing on the heel, they touched down on the ball of ...

Young poplar trees can straighten a bent stem even without light or gravity to guide them. In an experiment that removed ...

The skeleton belongs to the world’s smallest cetacean, the group that includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Vaquitas ...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects attention and impulse control, while autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects social communication and patterns of behavior. The study found that ...
