Physicists at The Australian National University (ANU) and University of Queensland (UQ) have produced near-perfect clones of quantum information using a new method to surpass previous cloning limits.
A global race is...
Physicists at the University of Sydney have found a 'quantum hack' that should allow for enormous efficiency gains in quantum computing technologies.
As scientists at IBM, Google, Microsoft and universities across the world seek to scale-up quantum technology to make...
When it comes to soft, assistive devices -- like the exosuit being designed by the Harvard Biodesign Lab -- the wearer and the robot need to be in sync. But every human moves a bit differently and tailoring the...
Hydrophobins are a family of naturally occurring proteins with a hydrophilic part (blue) and a hydrophobic part (red). Like lipids, they form molecular bilayers and vesicles, which are small spherical structures with an outer bilayer boundary. In an aqueous...
The spectral transmission-reflectance-intensity (TRI)-Analyzer attaches to a smartphone and analyzes patient blood, urine, or saliva samples as reliably as clinic-based instruments that cost thousands of dollars.

A Hoaxy search reveals articles that claim cannabis cures cancer. The graph on the left shows the rise in these claims over the past five months. The graph on the right shows the claim's spread on social media. Credit:...
The coordinated cyber attack that crippled parts of the internet on Friday highlighted key policy problems, a Stanford cybersecurity scholar said.
And while the problems were clear, there are no easy solutions, said Herbert Lin, a senior research scholar for...
A blue LED shines on a vial containing heavy water, a pharmaceutical compound, and a light-activated catalyst. The new photocatalytic approach from Princeton's David MacMillan turns a multi-month process into a one-day step, speeding the arrival of new drugs...
