Quantum squeezing is a concept in quantum physics where the uncertainty in one aspect of a system is reduced while the uncertainty in another related aspect is increased.

Researchers have discovered that the protein mutated in Huntington's Disease fails to properly repair DNA, leading to reduced brain cell healing. The huntingtin protein normally stimulates the production of PAR molecules...

Star explosions called novas are happening twice as often near a gargantuan black hole jet as they are in the rest of the galaxy, and astronomers aren't sure why.

A new study reveals that the absence of the TRMT10A enzyme disrupts tRNA levels, leading to impaired protein synthesis and brain function. Researchers found that mice lacking the Trmt10a gene had decreased levels of key ...

A new study shows that automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems trained on speech from people with Parkinson's disease are 30% more accurate in transcribing similar speech patterns. Researchers collected over 151 hours...

Aviation has proven to be one of the most stubbornly difficult industries to decarbonize. But a new roadmap outlined by University of Cambridge researchers says the sector could reach net zero by 2050 if urgent action is...

In a study published in Engineering, researchers from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Zhejiang University have unveiled a pioneering approach to designing on-chip computational spectrometers, heral...

Extremely thin materials consisting of just a few atomic layers promise applications for electronics and quantum technologies. An international team led by TU Dresden has now made remarkable progress with an experiment c...

A new study reveals that Generation 2 Starlink satellites are leaking up to 30 times more radio waves than their predecessors. If SpaceX continues to deploy the newer versions as planned, we could reach an "inflection po...

Our immune cells change a lot as the decades progress, which could explain why we become more susceptible to certain conditions

A recent study has unveiled a transformative nonlinear optical metasurface technology. This new technology, characterized by structures smaller than the wavelength of light, paves the way for significant advancements in ...

Lab experiments around the globe that are gearing up to recreate the mysterious phase of matter found in the early universe could also produce the world's strongest electromagnetic fields, according to a theoretical anal...

Researchers from the Department of Physics of the University of Jyväskylä (Finland) have found new information about the strength of the so-called magic neutron number 50 shell closure in the silver isotope chain.

A new study shows that unexpected sounds can cause dopamine bursts in the brain, which may lead to riskier decision-making. Researchers found that participants were 4% more likely to choose risky options after hearing a ...

Researchers recently surveyed the bottom of Lake Michigan after spotting strange circles on the lakebed in 2022. New observations show the circles are craters, but how they formed remains unclear.

A research group led by University of Tsukuba has observed the cooperative behavior of polaron quasiparticles formed by the collective interaction of electrons and lattice vibrations around color centers in diamond cryst...

New research has found that cannabis use during pregnancy can cause molecular changes in the genes of exposed children, impacting brain development. The study identified significant DNA alterations in genes related to ne...

Research shows that the way you smile in a photograph can reveal key personality traits like warmth, trustworthiness, and conscientiousness. Social psychologists found that people with a Duchenne Smile, which involves bo...

A US standards agency has issued new guidance saying organisations shouldn't require users to change their passwords periodically - advice that is backed up by decades of research

A new study has revealed critical metabolic impairments in Parkinson's disease (PD), focusing on purine metabolism and ATP recycling. Researchers found that patients with PD have significantly lower levels of uric acid a...

A new study found that playing video games can improve players' moods within 15 minutes of gameplay. Researchers analyzed data from over 39 countries, showing that nearly three-quarters of players experienced a positive ...

A large study has found a small but significant link between brain structure and political ideology. The research revealed that conservatives have a slightly larger amygdala, a brain region involved in processing emotion...
