In a new groundbreaking work, researchers from DTU have now realized the complete platform for an optical quantum computer. The platform is universal and scalable, it all takes place at room temperature, and the technolo...

Quantum engineers from UNSW Sydney have removed a major obstacle that has stood in the way of quantum computers becoming a reality. They discovered a new technique they say will be capable of controlling millions of spin...

Ultracold molecules are promising for applications in new quantum technologies. Unfortunately, these molecules are destroyed upon colliding with each other. Researchers at Harvard University, MIT, Korea University and Ra...

July 2021 was the single hottest month in history, according to a new NOAA report.

A new AI model can accurately classify a brain tumor of one of six common cancer types from a single MRI brain scan image.

Coral reefs around the world are threatened by warming temperatures which cause them to bleach - but they might get some relief through probiotics

Polluted air caused by smoke released from record-breaking wildfires in the US last year has been linked to a strong increase in covid-19 cases and deaths

The threshold for eliminating covid-19 in the UK through herd immunity is out of reach, so it's time to think about how to live with covid-19 as a seasonal disease

A decades-old theory to simplify silicon quantum processors has been shown to work, potentially paving the way for vastly more powerful quantum devices

In a new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, Researchers led by Professor Jinghua Teng from Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore consider...

The Perseverance Mars rover made its first sampling attempt on 6 August but the sample tube came up empty, so NASA scientists are figuring out how to make sure the next try works

The initials BRCA2 may be best known for a gene associated with many cases of breast cancer, and the protein encoded by the BRCA2 gene is critical to repairing breaks in DNA. The breakdown of this interaction is a hallma...

Five years ago, a plane called the Solar Impulse 2 flew around the world without using any liquid fuel. As you might guess from the name, the plane was solar-powered. It wasn't the fastest--it took about almost a year an...

An invasive and destructive "murder hornet" has been spotted in Washington state for the first time this year, and the alien-looking insect was behaving accordingly -- attacking a hive of paper wasps.

A team of researchers have developed a new way to tag tumor cells to figure out how they evolve and change over time to resist cancer treatments.

Researchers have identified new biomarkers that may advance the early detection of diabetic retinopathy, the most common diabetic eye disease and a leading cause of blindness in U.S. adults.
