Development of a single-process platform for the manufacture of graphene quantum dots
Graphene consists of a planar structure, with carbon atoms connected in a hexagonal shape that resembles a beehive. When graphene is reduced to several nanometers (nm) in size, it becomes a graphene quantum dot that exhibits fluorescent and semicondu.....»»
How Apple plans to update new iPhones without opening them
Apple wants to rid the iPhone-buying process of the post-unboxing update. Enlarge / Being in a box doesn't mean the iPhone can't update. (credit: Apple) Unboxing a new gadget is always a fun experience, but it's usuall.....»»
Biochemists discover first new antibacterial class in decades
Vanderbilt biochemists are part of a team taking a stride toward the development of antibacterials to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections, a pervasive bacterial infection that affects 50%–60% of women in their lifetime......»»
An on-chip photon-counting reconstructive spectrometer with tailored cascaded detector array
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have been widely used in various applications requiring single photon detection thanks to their attractive performances. Since SNSPDs are thin films of serval nanometers in thickness, they are.....»»
Magnetic avalanche triggered by quantum effects: "Barkhausen noise" detected for first time
Iron screws and other so-called ferromagnetic materials are made up of atoms with electrons that act like little magnets. Normally, the orientations of the magnets are aligned within one region of the material but are not aligned from one region to t.....»»
Quantum computing just got hotter: One degree above absolute zero
For decades, the pursuit of quantum computing has struggled with the need for extremely low temperatures, mere fractions of a degree above absolute zero (0 Kelvin or –273.15°C). That's because the quantum phenomena that grant quantum computers the.....»»
New "destructive fishing" definition to kickstart fresh era in fishing policy
Many policies and international frameworks—including the UN Sustainable Development Goals—recognize the need to end destructive fishing practices to conserve marine resources, protect the ocean and ensure peace and prosperity for people and the p.....»»
Memories of mitosis: Molecular mechanism that detects defects during cell division could aid cancer treatment
Every day, our cells are hard at work multiplying. Cell division is a precise process, but sometimes this process is impaired and diseases like cancer occur. Mitosis is one of the most important phases in the cell cycle. During this phase, a cell's D.....»»

A method to compute the Rényi entanglement entropy in auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo simulations
Entanglement is a widely studied quantum physics phenomenon, in which two particles become linked in such a way that the state of one affects the state of another, irrespective of the distance between them. When studying systems comprised of several.....»»
Apple TV+ is the streaming platform with the highest rated content on IMDb
It’s been five years since Apple TV+ was announced. Although its content library is not as vast as that of its competitors, Apple TV+ movies and shows have won multiple awards since then. Interestingly, a study by Self Financial found that Apple TV.....»»
Quantum computing progress: Higher temps, better error correction
Amazon, IBM, and traditional silicon makers all working toward error correction. Enlarge (credit: vital) There's a strong consensus that tackling most useful problems with a quantum computer will require that the compute.....»»

Researchers find the more flood driving factors there are, the more extreme a flood is
There are several factors that play an important role in the development of floods: air temperature, soil moisture, snow depth, and the daily precipitation in the days before a flood. In order to better understand how individual factors contribute to.....»»
Life might be difficult to find on a single planet but may be obvious across many worlds
If we could detect a clear, unambiguous biosignature on just one of the thousands of exoplanets we know of, it would be a huge, game-changing moment for humanity. But it's extremely difficult. We simply aren't in a place where we can be certain that.....»»
DOJ compares AAPL share buybacks with R&D spend as ‘evidence’ of lack of competition
A new report highlights what probably amounts the most most absurd stretch in the DOJ’s antitrust lawsuit. A section notes that Apple last year spent half as much on research and development (R&D) as it did on AAPL share buybacks, presenting this a.....»»
