Quantum gas resists heating under periodic kicks, revealing many-body localization mechanism
A joint theoretical study by the University of Innsbruck and Zhejiang University has uncovered the microscopic origin of a striking quantum phenomenon: a period...
AI algorithm identifies cells across diverse biological images, cutting hours of manual labeling
Imaging is a critical technique in biology—from identifying cancerous cells in biopsies to observing how immune cells like macrophages hunt down and destroy pat...
A protein engineering method may lead to more exact cancer treatments
Enzymes called proteases act like molecular scissors for proteins in the body and play a role in therapies to stop viruses from replicating and to kill cancer c...
AI model accurately predicts the spread of wildfires in real time
USC researchers are developing a computational model that combines satellite data and physics-based simulations to forecast a wildfire's path, intensity, and gr...
Single mathematical model helps solve a decades-old puzzle involving ultrafast lasers
A team of international researchers, including an Aston University researcher, has cracked the code on how "breather" laser pulses work, creating a single mathe...
Chemists stabilize rare three‑atom metal ring, revealing new form of aromaticity
In a world first, the team, led by Professor Stephen Liddle, discovered a new type of aromatic molecule made entirely of metal atoms, the heaviest of its kind e...
Hypertriton appears more tightly bound than expected, sharpening the picture of nuclear forces
An international research team of the A1 Collaboration at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI) of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has succeeded in determining t...
New device aims to protect the Earth from Martian microbes
The possibility of life on other planets is one of the biggest mysteries in science. But what would happen if we actually found it? Our scientists are preparing...
Schools must do more than box-ticking to support Indigenous kids, shows report
An Indigenous-led study of Perth primary schools has found that educators often rely on symbolic gestures rather than meaningful action to support Aboriginal ch...
Two paths to scalable quantum computing: Optical links between fridges and higher-temperature qubits
Superconducting qubits—bits of quantum information—have been widely considered a promising technology for moving quantum computing forward. But there's still mu...
To thwart pathogens, researchers are giving beneficial microbes what they really want
University of California San Diego researchers have developed a new tool for understanding and modifying any microbiome, including the human microbiome. The app...
Ocean eddies move far less carbon than expected, study suggests
The biological carbon pump moves carbon from near the ocean's surface to deeper regions, maintaining the upper ocean's ability to absorb carbon from the atmosph...
