Researchers attain coherent control of a hybrid quantum network node
Quantum technologies, which operate leveraging quantum mechanical phenomena, have the potential to outperform their classical counterparts in some optimization and computational tasks. These...
Mathematical model modulates the anomalous Hall angle in a magnetic topological semimetal
When an electric current passes through some materials, it generates a voltage perpendicular to the direction in which the current is flowing and of an applied magnetic field. This physical...
Study explores the impact of growing up without siblings on the brain and behavior of adults
Statistics suggest that the size of families in many countries is shrinking and a growing number of parents worldwide either willingly or unwillingly end up only having one child. While many...
Rethinking neutron star mergers: Study explores the effects of magnetic fields on their oscillating frequencies
Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars. These mergers are known to generate gravitational waves, energy-carrying...
Understanding the ‘aha’ moment: Study suggests insight involves exploring greater distances within a solution space
When humans are trying to grasp a complicated concept or solve a problem, they might suddenly feel like they have gained a deeper understanding or think of something they had not thought of before....
Layered room-temperature altermagnet shows promise for advanced spintronics
Traditionally, magnetic materials have been divided into two main categories: ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. Over the past few years, however, physicists have uncovered the existence of...
Ink engineering approach boosts efficiency and cuts cost of quantum dot-based photovoltaics
Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are tiny semiconductor particles that are just a few nanometers in size, which are synthesized in a liquid solution (i.e., colloid). These single-crystal particles,...
New insight into how the human motor cortex encodes complex handwriting
Compared to other animal species, humans can plan and execute highly sophisticated motor tasks, including the ability to write complex characters using their hands. While many past studies have...
Finger-shaped tactile sensor advances robotic touch with multi-directional force detection and material identification
The development of increasingly sophisticated sensors can facilitate the advancement of various technologies, including robots, security systems, virtual reality (VR) equipment and sophisticated...
Healthy sleep patterns decrease the risk of being hospitalized for infections, study finds
Sleep is an essential biological process known to contribute to both mental and physical health. In addition to supporting memory processes and learning, boosting concentration, facilitating the...
