A universal scheme can verify any quantum state
Quantum technologies, devices that can process, store, or detect information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical devices in some t...
Seals use whisker movement to follow underwater trails—an approach that could improve robotic sensing
Seals are carnivorous marine mammals that are well adapted to hunting for fish underwater, where visibility is poor. In such conditions, seals rely on their hig...
The JWST finds more overmassive black holes. This time in dwarf galaxies
One of the things astronomers find when they look around at galaxies is a correlation between a galaxy's mass and the mass of its supermassive black hole. Contr...
Quadratic gravity theory reshapes quantum view of Big Bang
Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments...
Black hole mergers test the limits of general relativity
General relativity stands as one of the bedrock theories in modern physics. Its strange view of relative time and space has been confirmed by countless experime...
Climate change is altering Saharan dust—and Europe is downwind
In recent years, residents of Spain, France and the UK have looked up to see an eerie sight: deep orange sunrises and skies thick with a yellowish haze. These h...
Researchers examine how AI chatbots are shaping government operations
As artificial intelligence (AI) tools become more common across government, new research from the University at Albany's Center for Technology in Government (CT...
How internal waves transport energy thousands of miles across the ocean
Both winds and tides inject energy into the ocean. Much of that energy is then transported up to thousands of miles by internal waves: large-scale underwater wa...
Revealing the origin of polarity inversion in polymer semiconductors
A research team led by Prof. Boseok Kang at Sungkyunkwan University has uncovered the origin of polarity inversion, a long-standing phenomenon in polymer semico...
The Wired Belts are the new Rust Belts: Report ranks which jobs are most vulnerable
Digital Planet, the research center at the forefront of researching the AI transformation at The Fletcher School at Tufts University, today released the America...
Supercomputer simulations map spliceosome motions in a two-million-atom human cell model
A new study from the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), in collaboration with Uppsala University (Sweden) and AstraZeneca, shows how computational chemistry...
Clean energy subsidies mainly benefit high-income households, study finds
Households with high incomes are the main beneficiaries of subsidy programs supporting the clean energy transition. A team of researchers from the University of...
