Early protostar already has a warped disk
Using observations from the ALMA radio observatory in Chile, researchers have observed, for the first time, a warped disk around an infant protostar that...
Quantum chemistry on quantum computers
Quantum computing and quantum information processing technology have attracted attention in recently emerging fields. Among many important and fundamental issues in science, solving the...
Machine learning speeds up atomistic simulations of water and ice
Why is water densest at around 4 degrees Celsius? Why does ice float? Why does heavy water have a different melting point compared to...
Bacteria found in ancient Irish soil halts growth of superbugs: New hope for tackling...
Researchers analysing soil from Ireland long thought to have medicinal properties have discovered that it contains a previously unknown strain of bacteria which is...
These nine measures reveal how forests are controlled by climate
Instead of blood pressure, temperature, and heart rate, the vital signs for a forest are captured in key traits such as the amount of...
Researchers develop 128Mb STT-MRAM with world’s fastest write speed for embedded memory
A research team, led by Professor Tetsuo Endoh at Tohoku University, has successfully developed 128Mb-density STT-MRAM (spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive random access memory) with a...
Sugar-sweetened beverage pattern linked to higher kidney disease risk
Higher collective consumption of sweetened fruit drinks, soda, and water was associated with a higher likelihood of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a...
Marine debris study counts trash from Texas to Florida
Trash, particularly plastic, in the ocean and along the shoreline is an economic, environmental, human health, and aesthetic problem causing serious challenges to coastal...
The immune system’s fountain of youth
If only we could keep our bodies young, healthy and energetic, even as we attain the wisdom of our years. New research at the...
Smelling in tiny houses: How ciliary electric currents keep olfaction reliable
Imagine trying to figure out how something works when that something takes place in a space smaller than a femtoliter: one quadrillionith of a...
Unmuting large silent genes lets bacteria produce new molecules, potential drug candidates
By enticing away the repressors dampening unexpressed, silent genes in Streptomyces bacteria, researchers at the University of Illinois have unlocked several large gene clusters...
