A radical upgrade pushes quantum links 200x farther

Quantum computers can perform certain calculations at remarkable speeds, yet connecting them over long distances has been one of the major obstacles to building large, reliable quantum networks. Until recently, two quantum computers could only link through a fiber cable over a span of a few kilometers. This limitation meant…

Jupiter’s wild youth may have reshaped the entire Solar System

New research from Rice University indicates that Jupiter dramatically reshaped the early solar system. According to the study, the giant planet created rings and wide gaps in the protoplanetary disk, helping to solve a long-standing mystery: why many primitive meteorites formed several million years after the very first solid materials.…

Space dust reveals how fast the Arctic is changing

Arctic sea ice has shrunk by more than 42% since 1979, when satellites first began providing consistent measurements. As the remaining ice thins and retreats, more open ocean is left exposed to sunlight. Ice helps cool the planet by reflecting sunlight, but darker seawater absorbs heat instead, which speeds up…

A 400-million-year-old plant creates water so weird it looks alien

A research group at The University of New Mexico has identified how an unusual prehistoric plant may provide new ways to interpret Earth’s ancient climate conditions. Led by UNM Earth and Planetary Sciences Professor Zachary Sharp, the team published its findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…

Smart drug strikes a hidden RNA weak point in cancer cells

Researchers have designed a new class of drug molecule capable of specifically destroying TERRA, an RNA molecule that some cancer cells rely on to survive. Using a technique known as “RIBOTAC,” the compound is able to locate TERRA inside the cell and break it apart while avoiding healthy RNA. The…

Strange microscopic structures found in Long COVID blood

The researchers also incorporated Artificial Intelligence tools, including machine learning, to analyze biomarker patterns. These methods allowed them to accurately differentiate Long COVID patients from healthy individuals and to pinpoint the most informative biomarker combinations. Such insights could support more precise diagnostics and future personalized treatments. small, unusual clusters of…

Cheap gout drug may slash heart attack and stroke risk

A commonly used, low-cost medication for gout may help lower the chances of heart attacks and strokes in people with cardiovascular disease, according to a new Cochrane review.
