But building a network out of these fragile threads is no easy feat. Fiber optic cables, the workhorses of modern communication, introduce signal loss and memory decoherence. Quantum information is ...

With C30 and C31 sterols now validated as biomarkers of ancient sponges, the team plans to expand their search to other regions and rock formations. Their goal: to pinpoint when, exactly, the first ...

In the heart of Egypt’s ancient religious capital, Thebes, a team of international researchers has peeled back the layers of time to reveal the hidden story of Karnak Temple, on ...

A new 3-D-printed aluminum alloy is stronger than traditional aluminum, due to a key recipe that, when printed, produces aluminum (illustrated in brown) with nanometer scale precipitates (in light ...

Dr. David Bacon, now at University College London, helped classify the two types of dark excitons: momentum-dark and spin-dark. Momentum-dark excitons arise when electrons scatter into different ...

Red-emitting dyes offer more explicit images for deep-tissue imaging, but they’ve long been hindered by poor brightness and instability. Most red dyes have low quantum yields; only about 1% of the ...

In a cosmic twist worthy of science fiction, astronomers have spotted the most distant and powerful “odd radio circle” (ORC) ever recorded, a ghostly, double-ringed structure glowing in radio waves ...

The researchers found that microvascular pulses increase with age, particularly in the brain’s deep white matter, a region ...

A Cornell-led study has cracked a long-standing mystery in cancer biology: how pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), one ...

A new study, published in Nature Photonics and led by Politecnico di Milano, reveals a previously neglected but essential aspect: the contribution of virtual charges, charge carriers that exist only ...

Superconductors are special materials that allow electricity to flow without any resistance, much like a frictionless highway ...

An unique opportunity for researchers to study the effects of prenatal sugar exposure on long-term health outcomes.
