Controlling quantum motion and hyper-entanglement
Two atoms, trapped by beams of laser light, are shown in a special quantum state called hyper-entanglement. In this state, both their motion and internal energy are linked, opening new…
Blood Test Identifies Depression Risk in Teenagers
Summary: Researchers have identified nine blood-based microRNAs that are elevated in teens diagnosed with depression, offering a potential biomarker for early detection. These molecules, absent in adult depression, may signal…
The formation of a new exoplanet can cause chemical discrepancies in paired stars
