Skepticism about Microsoft results regarding robust quantum bits
Disorder in very thin nanowires can lead to measurement results that could be misinterpreted as evidence for Majorana particles. Credit: University of Basel, Department of Physics In March 2022, Microsoft…
Not yet tangible, but close
Numerical modeling results in a fraction-signature with typical pinch points (left) and should be observable experimentally with neutron scattering. Allowing quantum fluctuations blurs this signature (right), even at T=0 K.…
Gas-releasing adjuvant improves efficacy of photothermal therapy for cancer
A nanoplatform based on copper sulfide (ADT@CuSNDs) that is able to remodel the tumor energy via hydrogen sulfide (H2S) mediation was developed to sensitize the tumor to mild photothermal therapy…
Plant functional traits lend predictability to idiosyncratic range shifts – Functional Ecologists
In this new post, Tesa Madsen-Hepp—PhD candidate at the University of California Riverside, USA—presents her latest research ‘Plant functional traits predict heterogeneous distributional shifts in response to climate change’. She…
A little-understood sleep disorder affects millions and has clear links to dementia – 4 questions answered
A little-known and poorly understood sleep disorder that occurs during the rapid eye movement, or REM, stage of sleep has been garnering attention for its role in foreshadowing neurodegenerative brain…
