Quantum computers could handle models that are too complex for us to run nowTomasz Zajda/Alamy Stock Photo By Matt Reynolds The race to create superfast computers is accelerating. A rethink of one of the most fundamental parts of a quantum computer could pave the way for ultra-powerful devices. Andrea Morello […]

Not as superficial as they seem?Dream Daddy By Douglas Heaven It’s been a long time since I last went on a date. Even so, I wasn’t expecting Robert to move so fast. Sure, he’s my type – casual, confident, gruff. But just this afternoon I was head over heels for […]
On Monday, while the rest of us were celebrating Labor Day, the sun let out a little stellar burp, which scientists politely call a coronal mass ejection. That in and of itself isn’t that unusual: The sun is a giant ball of super-hot charged particles called plasma being roiled around by […]
Scientists have designed a novel silicon-based anode to provide lithium batteries with increased power and better stability.
Scientists have developed a new tool for imaging life at the nanoscale that will provide new insights into the role of transition metal ions such as copper in neurodegenerative diseases.
Evidence has been found that near-ground biogenic emissions of organics suppress cloud formation in cool-temperate forests in autumn, providing clues to how global warming will affect cloud formation and the overall climate.
The intestinal barrier of patients with the gastrointestinal disease IBS allows bacteria to pass more freely than in healthy people, according to a study. The study is the first to investigate IBS using living bacteria.
Chemical engineers have succeeded in generating ultra-pure green light for the first time. The new light-emitting diode will pave the way for visibly improved color quality in a new generation of ultra-high definition displays for TVs and smartphones.
