Caltech’s massive 6,100-qubit array brings the quantum future closer

Quantum computers will need large numbers of qubits to tackle challenging problems in physics, chemistry, and beyond. Unlike classical bits, qubits can exist in two states at once — a phenomenon called superposition. This quirk of quantum physics gives quantum computers the potential to perform certain complex calculations better than…

Breakthrough wetsuits slash shark attack injuries and save lives

Australian shark experts have tested four bite-resistant materials to assess their ability to reduce injuries and blood loss. While internal and crushing injuries may still occur, bite-resistant wetsuits can now be added to the ‘toolkit’ of measures available to reduce shark-bite risk and resulting injuries, say researchers from Flinders University’s…

This flower smells like dying ants, and flies can’t resist it

Ko Mochizuki of the University of Tokyo has discovered that Vincetoxicum nakaianum, a dogbane species native to Japan described for the first time by Mochizuki and his collaborators only a year ago, mimics the smell of ants attacked by spiders to attract flies that feed on such attacked insects, and…

Hidden bacterial molecules in the brain reveal new secrets of sleep

What causes us to sleep? The answer may lie not only in our brains, but in their complex interplay with the micro-organisms spawned in our intestines. New research from Washington State University suggests a new paradigm in understanding sleep, demonstrating that a substance in the mesh-like walls of bacteria, known…

Nel genoma di una 117enne le chiavi della longevità – Biotech – Ansa.it

Si nascondono nel genoma della persona più longeva mai registrata, la catalana Maria Branyas che ha ampiamente superato i 117 anni, le chiavi che custodiscono il segreto della longevità, A portarle alla luce in maniera completa è ora lo studio dell’Istituto di ricerca spagnolo Josep Carreras pubblicato sulla rivista Cell…

Brain fat, not just plaques, may be the hidden driver of Alzheimer’s

It was long thought that fat in the brain played no role in neurodegenerative diseases, but Purdue University researchers are challenging that assumption. The research findings, published in Immunity, show that excess fat in the brain’s resident immune cells, called microglia, impairs their ability to combat disease. This insight opens…

Scientists reveal pill that helps shed 20% of body weight

New research presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Vienna, Austria (Sept 15-19) and simultaneously published in NEJM shows that daily treatment with the new once-daily GLP-1 agonist orforglipron results in substantial weight loss in people living with obesity that do not…

A rogue black hole is beaming energy from a nearby dwarf galaxy

Traditionally, black holes are usually thought to “reside” at the centers of galaxies. However, a research team led by Dr. AN Tao from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a wandering black hole in a dwarf galaxy located about 230 million light-years away (redshift…

The phantom heat of empty space might soon be detectable

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect — a long-predicted phenomenon at the crossroads of relativity and quantum theory. Their novel approach opens new possibilities for exploring fundamental physics and for developing advanced technologies. The work was recently published in Physical…
