Is camouflage better than warning colors? For insects, it depends
Prey animals can use their colors to hide from predators or dissuade them from attacking. But local conditions determine which option works best. A global study comparing defensive coloration in…
Postpartum Depression and Psychosis Risks Surge After Childbirth
Summary: A large Swedish study of 1.8 million pregnancies found that mental ill health around pregnancy has risen in recent years, with risks spiking after childbirth. While depression and psychosis…
A new twist on Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle can sharpen quantum sensors
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain For almost a century, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle has stood as one of the defining ideas of quantum physics: a particle’s position and momentum cannot be known…
Quantum random number generator combines small size and high speed
A new chip-based quantum random number generator (QRNG) combines miniaturization with high-speed, high-quality operation. The researchers showed it can generate unpredictable random numbers at a rate of 3 Gbps. Credit:…
