Processing Quantum Information is Made Possible by Simulating Impossible “Unipolar” Laser Pulses

Processing Quantum Information is Made Possible by Simulating Impossible “Unipolar” Laser Pulses

We may be closer to room temperature quantum computing if a laser pulse can alter quantum information while avoiding the intrinsic symmetry of light waves.…
Obesity is caused by Insufficient Insulin Processing

Obesity is caused by Insufficient Insulin Processing

Overweight increases the risk of an imbalance in sugar metabolism and even of diabetes. A research group at the University of Basel has now shown…
What Snowflakes and Quantum Information Have in Common and What We Can Do About It

What Snowflakes and Quantum Information Have in Common and What We Can Do About It

Qubits are a fundamental component of quantum computers, but they are also infamously delicate and challenging to view without losing their data. The National Institute…

Delusional Disorder

Delusional disorder is a type of psychotic disorder. It is a mental illness in which a person has delusions but no prominent hallucinations, thought disorder,…
New Quantum-Computer Performance Benchmarking Made Possible by the Anti-Butterfly Effect

New Quantum-Computer Performance Benchmarking Made Possible by the Anti-Butterfly Effect

A long-standing experimental physics problem is resolved by research using the quantum “anti-butterfly effect,” which also creates a way for evaluating the performance of quantum…

On British and Irish Islands, Rare Wild Ancestors of Feral Pigeons Have Been Discovered

Rare colonies of the wild ancestors of ordinary domestic and feral pigeons have been discovered by researchers led by members of Oxford University’s Department of…
Connective Tissue Disease

Connective Tissue Disease

A connective tissue disease is any disease that affects the parts of the body that connect the body’s structures. Tissues connect all of the structures…
Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer are prevented by using Oral Contraceptives

Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer are prevented by using Oral Contraceptives

A comprehensive study from Uppsala University, involving more than 250,000 women, shows that oral contraceptive use protects against ovarian and endometrial cancer. The protective effect…
Large Invasive Mammals Can Be Fought Off by Genetically Enhanced Biocontrols, Study Finds

Large Invasive Mammals Can Be Fought Off by Genetically Enhanced Biocontrols, Study Finds

On native plants and animals, invasive alien mammals can have disastrous effects that result in the extinction of entire species and significant environmental change. Researchers…
