Major leap for practical building blocks of a quantum internet: New research demonstrates how to dramatically improve the storage time of a telecom-compatible quantum memory, a vital component of a global quantum network. The technology operates in the same 1550 nanometer band as today’s telecommunications infrastructure. It can also be […]
The dramatic, dinosaur-to-bird transition that occurred in reptiles millions of years ago was accompanied by profound changes in the skull roof of those animals — and holds important clues about the way the skull forms in response to changes in the brain — according to a new study. It is […]
In a new analysis of climate models, researchers reveal the significant global effects that seemingly anomalous polynyas, or openings in sea ice, can have. Their findings indicate that heat escaping from the ocean through these openings impacts sea and atmospheric temperatures and wind patterns around the globe and even rainfall […]
A new brain-computer interface application that allows music to be composed by the power of thought has now been developed by scientists.
A group of researchers has revealed the mechanism by which cellular nuclei reach their position within muscle cells. This discovery can have important implications in therapeutic strategies to treat muscular diseases.
The decline of cold regions called periglacial zones is now inevitable due to climate change, researchers say.
How did the gut, the skin and musculature evolve? This question concerns scientists for more than a century. Through the investigation of the embryonic development of sea anemones, a very old animal lineage, researchers have now come to conclusions which challenge the 150-year-old hypothesis of the homology (common evolutionary origin) […]
