Dominant G-form Spike protein ‘puts its head up’ more frequently to latch on to receptors, but that makes it more vulnerable to neutralization. Large-scale supercomputer…
Mars had dry and wet eras and dried up for good 3 billion years ago. While attention has been focused on the Perseverance rover that…
Colossal voltage results from interplay of material’s topology and strong electron correlations in a uranium-cobalt-ruthenium-aluminum alloy. New research has demonstrated that a magnetic uranium compound…
Sulfolane-additive process yields easy fabrication, low cost, top performance, long operating life. A new, simpler solution for fabricating stable perovskite solar cells overcomes the key…
Lack of symmetry in qubits can’t fix errors in quantum computing, but might explain matter/antimatter imbalance. Unexpected twist in the Kibble-Zurek theory offers a new…
Fast-forwarding quantum calculations skips past the time limits imposed by decoherence, which plagues today’s machines. A new algorithm that fast forwards simulations could bring greater…
One of the distinguishing features of machines is that they don’t need to sleep, unlike humans and any other creature with a central nervous system….
Study finds neutron stars are typically about 11.75 kilometers in radius, and provides a novel calculation of the Hubble constant. A combination of astrophysical measurements…
Quantum dot logic circuits provide the long-sought building blocks for innovative devices, including printable electronics, flexible displays, and medical diagnostics. Researchers at Los Alamos National…
New study of biggest Main Belt asteroid, Psyche, finds it might be remnant of a planet that never fully formed. New 2D and 3D computer…
Evolving quantum processes backwards on a quantum computer to damage information in the simulated past causes little change when returned to the ‘present.’ Using a…
Clouds of supercooled atoms offer highly sensitive rotation sensors and tests of quantum mechanics. A new device that relies on flowing clouds of ultracold atoms…
Additively manufactured fractal structures with closely spaced voids dissipate shockwaves five times better than solid cubes. Tiny, 3D printed cubes of plastic, with intricate fractal…
States that resemble sleep-like cycles in simulated neural networks quell the instability that comes with uninterrupted self-learning in artificial analogs of brains. No one can…
2D perovskite thin films boost sensitivity 100-fold compared to conventional detectors, require no outside power source, and enable low-dose dental and medical images. A new…
Electronically controlled 2-D reflector promises improved microwave communications, beam steering without moving pieces, and one-way microwave mirrors. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory are…
High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory Tests Speed of Light Ultra-high energy gamma rays from the far reaches of the galaxy provide powerful proof that the…
Two-day notice lets satellite operators take protective measures against energetic electrons. A new machine-learning computer model accurately predicts damaging radiation storms caused by the Van…
