Researchers transform 20 entangled quantum bits into Schrödinger cat states. This breaks the old record of 14 qubits which was established in 2011. Such superimposed states could provide an important resource for various applications, ranging from...
Three physicists get a high-profile recognition, more than 4 decades after they came up with modern field theory – supergravity. Daniel Freedman, Sergio Ferrara, and Peter van Nieuwenhuizen have won $3 million Special Breakthrough Prize in...
Researchers built a new software program to make biological analysis easy. It processes large datasets automatically and enables interactive visualization, fast and precise alignment, and real-time fusion. Modern light microscopic methods —...
MIT researchers have designed an artificial neuron from superconducting nanowires. In theory, a simple circuit of such neurons can work as efficiently as the human brain. The network can carry out one hundred trillion synaptic operations per second...
A large number of specific types of particles (known as scalars) were created during cosmic inflation. If dark matter has any connection with these scalar particles, it may predate the Big Bang. About 85 percent of the mass of the universe is made...
The second World War has always been a hot topic for modern historians studying the prevailing political and economic structure of the contemporary world. Incidents such as nuclear detonations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki or the Battle of Stalingrad...
Chromatography is a technique of separating out different parts of a chemical mixture so that they can be analyzed individually. This physical method allows chemists to closely observe organic and inorganic compounds and figure out what they are...
Although space mining sounds pretty sci-fi, it will be a reality in the future. Researchers are investigating the performance of the particular bacterium to extract metals from asteroids. The bacterium named Shewanella oneidensis has been known to...
Researchers study the brain of 324 healthy individuals using magnetic resonance tomography. They found that people’s level of general knowledge depends on structural brain network connectivity. The efficient fiber interconnections within the...
Magnetism can spontaneously emerge in a non-magnetic metallic disk if it is illuminated by linear polarized light. Researchers theorize a new technique to create material properties ‘on-demand’. Magnetism is caused by the...
The new statistical method can detect AI-generated content. It works by identifying texts that are too predictable rather than just flagging errors in texts. In the recent decade, the natural language processing community has witnessed the growth...
Astrophysicists study 41 nearby galaxy clusters to reveal connections between hot gas, dark matter, and stars. The sum of stars and gas across the clusters is a fixed fraction of the dark matter mass. According to the Standard Model of particle...
