(Phys.org)--Physicists have experimentally demonstrated quantum entanglement with 10 qubits on a superconducting circuit, surpassing the previous record of nine entangled superconducting qubits. The 10-qubit state is the...

People who are single for life are 42 per cent more likely to get dementia, but marriage isn't always good for your health - especially if you're a woman

(Phys.org)--A team of researchers at Université Grenoble Alpes has developed a new way to propel an object through highly viscous fluids. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, the group descri...

A hormone released by muscles during exercise has been found to protect mice from complications during surgery caused by restricted blood flow

A 53-qubit quantum simulator is the biggest of its kind, and has already done some calculations that outperform most, if not all, classical computers

Fashion is facing up to how wasteful it is, but its impact on the environment goes far beyond fast fashion and ever-changing trends

Two independent teams of scientists, including one from the University of Maryland (UMD) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), have used more than 50 interacting atomic qubits to mimic magnetic q...

Physicists at MIT and Harvard University have demonstrated a new way to manipulate quantum bits of matter. In a paper published today in the journal Nature, they report using a system of finely tuned lasers to first trap...

Would-be parents seeking IVF treatment use published success rates to choose a clinic - but the stats don't reflect the real chance of getting pregnant

What really determines clouds and rain? Why does burning rubber smoke so heavily? What gives sparkling wines their distinct and lively aroma? The answer to all of these questions leads back to bubbles, according to Alfon...

North Korea's latest test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) suggests that the nuclear-armed rogue nation can now hit the U.S. East Coast, experts say.

Dropping a smartphone on its glass screen, which is made of atoms jammed together with no discernible order, could result in it shattering. Unlike metals and other crystalline material, glass and many other disordered so...

Some people who experience seemingly mysterious allergic reactions may have a rare type of allergy to red meat, a new study finds.

Stripes can be found everywhere, from zebras roaming in the wild to the latest fashion statement. In the world of microscopic physics, periodic stripe patterns can be formed by electrons within so-called quantum material...

Three new species of microbes with flowing "hair" were named for musicians in the band Rush.

The fight to end malaria is stalling after more than a decade of progress. We need to wake up and reinvigorate attempts to eradicate it, says Azra Ghani

It sounds like the beginning of a Stephen King novel: a protagonist bolts up in bed, his unsuspecting brain picking up ultrasound waves crashing in the air. These waves have the power to fry his delicate neural tissue--i...

You don't need to build a rocket, like "Mad" Mike Hughes, to prove the Earth isn't flat - here's the simple science.

A prototype atom interferometer chip in a vacuum chamber, harnessing the quantum behaviour of atoms to perform ultra-precise measurements of gravity.

Research on the fragile states of matter that could give traction to the many promises of quantum computing has been given a boost by a comprehensive set of theoretical tools developed by A*STAR researchers.

The cast-iron plant's flowers bloom just above the surface of the soil and are often buried. They may mimic mushrooms and serve to attract a surprising pollinator

A remarkably well-preserved plaster-of-paris sphinx was uncovered in the dunes along the California coast, near Santa Barbara.
