Scientists integrate solid-state spin qubits with nanomechanical resonators
Spin qubits (orange) inside diamond nanopillars are moved (black arrows) over a magnetically-functionalized mechanical resonator (blue), enabling mechanically-mediated spin-spin interactions. Credit: Frankie Fung. In a new Physical Review Letters study,…
Functional diversity of neighbors mediates sap flow density and radial growth of focal trees, but in different ways between evergreen and deciduous broadleaved species – Functional Ecologists
In this post, Yongqiang Zhang—a PhD student at Peking University—shares his recently published paper: “Functional diversity of neighbors mediates sap flow density and radial growth of focal trees, but in…
Late bedtimes and not enough sleep can harm developing brains – and poorer kids are more at risk
Shorter sleep and later bedtimes are linked to potentially harmful functional changes to parts of the brain important for coping with stress and controlling negative emotions, our recently published research…
