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 ...

The researchers believe the temple’s location may have been deliberately chosen to mirror ancient Egyptian creation myths. According to Old Kingdom texts, the creator god emerged from a primordial ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inside every lithium-ion battery, there’s a tiny dance going on. When you use your device, lithium ions migrate from the electrolyte and insert themselves into the solid electrode, a process known as ...

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

New evidence on the age of the temple, tantalising links to ancient Egyptian mythology.
