Optical computing utilizes light’s speed to perform vector-matrix operations more efficiently. Harnessing the principles of light interference enables parallel computations, a key feature of quantum ...

Most of the time, fat women experience both the stigma of unattractiveness and the stigma that they lack control. They are heavily judged based on their looks and sizes rather than their intellect.

Imagine a type of matter where particles are arranged in a neat crystal pattern but can flow without friction. This peculiar state is called a supersolid, requiring particles to share a common phase ...

The two Yunxian skulls used in the study were highly distorted, but Xijun Ni and his colleagues were able to reconstruct them using 3D modelling. ©Mr. Guanghui Zhao In the quiet bends of the Han River ...

Soft machines, made from flexible materials such as soft plastics, could be beneficial in fields like nuclear cleanup, medicine, and space exploration. However, their real-world use has been limited ...

Neurons and their branch extensions known as dendrites are featured within a mouse’s cerebral cortex. How does the brain encode new information, like job tasks or song lyrics? Scientists at the ...

The Great Pyramid is the biggest and oldest of the three pyramids that stand on the outskirts of Cairo in Egypt. It is believed to have been built around 4,500 years ago. Over the years, various ...

The development of stomata and leaf airspace must be composed to set up a proficient and powerful network that enables gas exchange for photosynthesis. Yet, it wasn’t known how those channels form in ...

Quantum information plays a vital role in connecting several branches of physics. Specifically, the theory of quantum error correction, which explains how to protect ...

Extremely precise measurements of the distance between the Earth and the Coma cluster of galaxies provide new evidence for the Universe’s faster-than-expected rate of expansion. (Photo courtesy ...

Scientists have discovered two enormous structures deep within Earth’s mantle. Research from Utrecht University reveals these regions are hotter and older than the surrounding sunken tectonic ...

Caption:MIT researchers created a periodic table of machine learning that shows how more than 20 classical algorithms are connected. The new framework sheds light on how scientists could fuse ...
