Physicists found a way to make thermodynamics work in the quantum world

In 1798, officer and physicist Benjamin Thompson (a.k.a. Count Rumford) made a simple but powerful observation while watching cannon barrels being drilled in Munich. The metal heated up continuously during the process, leading him to conclude that heat is not a physical substance. Instead, it can be produced endlessly through…

“Purifying” photons: Scientists found a way to clean light itself

Researchers at the University of Iowa have identified a new way to “purify” photons, a development that could improve both the performance and security of light based quantum technologies. By refining how single particles of light are produced, the approach aims to overcome long standing limitations in optical quantum systems.…

MIT scientists strip cancer of its sugar shield

A research team from MIT and Stanford University has developed a new technique designed to push the immune system to go after tumor cells. The strategy is aimed at helping cancer immunotherapy succeed in far more patients than it does today. At the center of the work is a way…

Dinosaur bones found almost on top of each other in Transylvania

The Hațeg Basin in Transylvania has long been known around the world for its dinosaur fossils, uncovered at dozens of sites over the last hundred years. Even so, complete dinosaur discoveries are usually uncommon across the region. That pattern changed with the identification of a newly studied site where scientists…

Semestre filtro, 22.500 gli idonei a Medicina – Notizie – Ansa.it

Sono 22.500 gli studenti risultati idonei – cioè con almeno un esame superato – durante i due appelli per Medicina, a fronte di 17.278 posti disponibili, a quanto si apprende. I promossi in Chimica sono stati più numerosi di quelli in Biologia.    Comitato Medicina senza filtri ‘nei decreti profili di…

Greta Thunberg arrestata a Londra durante raduno pro-pal – Notizie – Ansa.it

L’attivista svedese Greta Thunberg è stata arrestata oggi a Londra dalla polizia britannica mentre partecipava a una manifestazione pro-pal. Lo rendono noto gli organizzatori dell’iniziativa, promossa per solidarizzare con otto detenuti del gruppo Palestine Action che stanno conducendo una sciopero della fame a oltranza da più di 50 giorni per…

This ultra-sensitive imaging system can spot cancer earlier

Scientists have developed a compact Raman imaging system that can reliably tell cancerous tissue apart from normal tissue. The approach could support earlier cancer detection and help move advanced molecular imaging tools beyond research laboratories and into more practical clinical settings. The imaging system is designed to detect extremely weak…

Ex politico Tory droga e fa stuprare la moglie per 13 anni – Notizie – Ansa.it

 E’ comparso oggi alla sbarra, dinanzi a un giudice della Swindon Magistrates’ Court, in Inghilterra, l’ex esponente politico conservatore locale Philip Young, incriminato ieri formalmente con l’accusa di aver sottoposto per 13 anni a stupri e abusi sessuali ripetuti la sua ex moglie, con la complicità – a vario titolo…

Hidden brain maps that make empathy feel physical

In a global research collaboration, neuroscientists Nicholas Hedger (University of Reading) and Tomas Knapen (Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience & Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) set out to better understand how humans experience the world. Their work revealed how the brain converts visual information into sensations of touch, helping create a lived, physical…

Physicists made atoms behave like a quantum circuit

Josephson junctions play a central role in modern physics and technology. They enable extremely precise measurements, define the international standard for electrical voltage, and serve as essential components inside many quantum computers. Despite their importance, the quantum-scale processes occurring inside superconductors are notoriously difficult to observe directly. To overcome this…

Are they really listening? Watch their blinks

Blinking is something people do automatically, much like breathing, without giving it much thought. While most scientific research on blinking has focused on eyesight, a new study from Concordia University explores a different connection. The research looks at how blinking relates to cognitive processes, including how the brain filters out…

This fish-inspired filter removes over 99% of microplastics

Wastewater from washing machines is widely seen as a major source of microplastics — tiny plastic particles suspected of harming both people and animals. To help reduce that pollution, researchers at the University of Bonn have created a new filter based on a natural model: the gill arch system in…
