Physicists at the Max Planck Institute have developed an efficient new method to drive the quantum entanglement of photons, and demonstrated it by entangling a record number of photons. The technique could be a boon for quantum computers.Continue Readi… Continue reading Quantum entanglement record set with largest cluster of photons so far
A torn meniscus, the cartilage in the knee, is a common sports injury, and unfortunately it doesn’t heal well. But researchers in Japan have now identified a hormone that helps repair the cartilage after a surgical treatment.Continue ReadingCategory: M… Continue reading Hormone-hardened tendons could help repair torn knee cartilage
Engineers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center have developed a tiny but powerful laser that could one day help astronauts find water on the Moon. Smaller than a US quarter, the laser makes use of quantum mechanical effects to produce a beam in the te… Continue reading Tiny quantum cascade laser could help astronauts find water on the Moon
Scientists have identified two molecules that could help treat leukemia, in a way that’s far less damaging to healthy cells than existing chemotherapy. The compounds work using a different mechanism that’s more selective for cancerous cells, and import… Continue reading New class of drug could treat leukemia with fewer side effects
The James Webb Space Telescope has clearly detected carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of an exoplanet for the first time. The find marks a milestone for the telescope’s goal of analyzing distant planets, which could eventually help discover signs of ext… Continue reading James Webb detects carbon dioxide in exoplanet atmosphere for first time
Geologists have discovered a long-term cycle that may connect the formation of Earth’s continents to increased comet impacts and the planet’s journey through the galaxy. The team connected fluctuations in tiny grains in stable parts of the crust to the… Continue reading Study links continent creation to 200-million year galactic comet cycle
Engineers at MIT have developed a new battery design using common materials – aluminum, sulfur and salt. Not only is the battery low-cost, but it’s resistant to fire and failures, and can be charged very fast, which could make it useful for powering a … Continue reading Battery made of aluminum, sulfur and salt proves fast, safe and low-cost
Sony has revealed the DualSense Edge, a new customizable controller for the PlayStation 5. In an apparent attempt to play catch-up with the Xbox, the new controller packs a few new buttons, switches and triggers, as well as more options to remap functi… Continue reading Customizable PlayStation 5 controller marks Sony’s latest swipe at Xbox
Astronomers have taken the sharpest images ever of the most massive star in the known universe. With these new images, the scientists were able to refine just how big this star is, and in the process revise our ideas of how big it’s possible for stars … Continue reading Sharpest image of most massive known star reveals its true size
Researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) have discovered that a common lab molecule, used to label DNA, can trigger a runaway process that eventually leads to cell death. But the team says this could have a positive use too, as a potential… Continue reading A vicious cycle of DNA damage and repair could be turned against cancer
