Advancements in quantum computing have the potential to revolutionize scientific fields, but the performance of quantum computer building blocks, known as qubits, is hindered by energy loss. Scientists from Yale University and Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a systematic approach to understand how energy loss occurs in qubits and how adjusting the material composition can

In today’s digital age, wireless internet has become an indispensable part of our daily lives, from professional communications to entertainment and beyond. However, the increasing demand for wireless internet access has come at a cost – greater power consumption leading to higher carbon emissions. As we move towards a more sustainable future, it is crucial
The Buena Vista “Lightning in a Bottle” music festival in California took a dark turn for some attendees when they unknowingly inhaled spores of a dangerous fungus while dancing in the dust. This invisible threat led to at least five people contracting ‘Valley fever’, a disease caused by two species of Coccidioides fungi that grow
The Gaia mission, renowned for its comprehensive mapping of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, has now revealed itself as a proficient asteroid hunter. Recent reports from astronomers have unveiled its remarkable success in identifying more moons of asteroids within our solar system. Through the analysis of the Gaia data released in its third iteration,
Sulfur-rich polymers (SRPs) have gained significant attention in recent years for their unique properties and potential applications in various fields. One landmark development in this area was the synthesis of a sulfur-rich polymer containing elemental sulfur content of more than 50 wt% by Prof. Pyun’s group in 2013. This innovative approach opened up new possibilities
A recent study conducted by researchers at Brown University has delved into the ancient temperatures and rainfall patterns in the tropical Andes of South America. This study, which covers a time span of 16,000 years, provides crucial insights into how climate history in this region was influenced by various factors, particularly carbon dioxide levels and
In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the Interface Science Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have made a groundbreaking discovery in the fight against climate change. Their work, titled “Reversible metal cluster formation on Nitrogen-doped carbon controlling electrocatalyst particle size with subnanometer accuracy,” introduces a new method for understanding the mechanisms
One of the main challenges faced in predicting landslides is the occurrence of postfire debris flows. These natural disasters happen during or shortly after a wildfire, adding to the already devastating effects of the fire itself. The destruction caused by postfire debris flows can be catastrophic, often catching communities off guard with little to no
Mars, the red planet, has always been a subject of fascination due to its potential to have hosted water in the past. Recent analysis of seismic data collected by the Mars InSight lander has revealed the presence of huge reservoirs of liquid water beneath the Martian surface. However, the water is located at depths that
The Paris 2024 Olympic Games have become a beacon of inclusivity for people with visual impairments, thanks to technological innovations that are revolutionizing their viewing experience. By listening to the specific needs of individuals with disabilities, the organizers have introduced groundbreaking tools and devices to ensure a seamless and immersive experience for all spectators, including
Susan Wojcicki, a groundbreaking tech executive whose impact on both Google and YouTube will be felt for years to come, has passed away at the age of 56. She was not only a pivotal figure in the creation of Google but also served as the CEO of YouTube for nine years. Wojcicki made the decision
In a recent federal court ruling, Google was found to be maintaining its dominance in internet search through an illegal monopoly. Despite Google Search being widely recognized as the best general search engine in the United States, the company was accused of strong-arming competitors to secure its position. The ruling highlighted Google’s practice of spending
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in plant-based diets as a means to improve heart health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. One common component of such diets is extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), which has been promoted for its potential benefits in lowering cholesterol levels. However, a new study conducted
Quantum computing has long been hailed as the future of information processing, with the potential to outperform traditional computers in various domains such as machine learning and optimization. Despite this promise, the widespread adoption of quantum computers is hindered by their susceptibility to noise, leading to errors in computations. One proposed solution to address these
Broccoli has been praised for its high levels of sulforaphane, a compound known for its potential benefits such as blood sugar control and anti-cancer properties. These benefits have led to the rise in popularity of broccoli pills as a supplement. However, a study conducted in 2011 revealed that consuming the whole vegetable provides more sulforaphane
