Nonreciprocal quantum batteries exhibit remarkable capacities and efficiency
In physics, nonreciprocity occurs when a system's response varies depending on the direction in which waves or signals are propagating within it. This asymmetry arises from a break in so-called...
New method could allow multi-robot teams to autonomously and reliably explore other planets
While roboticists have developed increasingly sophisticated systems over the past decades, ensuring that these systems can autonomously operate in real-world settings without mishaps often proves...
Study finds social interactions and olfactory cues prompt contagious itch in mice
Humans and other mammals can sometimes experience itch, an uncomfortable sensation that prompts them to scratch specific parts of their bodies. Past studies on humans and other primates have found...
New ransomware attack based on an evolutional generative adversarial network can evade security measures
In recent years, cyber attackers have become increasingly skilled at circumventing security measures and successfully targeting technology users. Developing effective methods to detect, neutralize...
Study shows orexin neurons can track how fast blood glucose changes
The concentration of glucose in the blood of humans continuously changes in response to what they eat and the activities they engage in. While many studies have investigated changes in blood...
Researchers observe quantum critical Bose gas of magnons in quasi-2D antiferromagnet
Three-dimensional (3D) antiferromagnets are materials in which magnetic moments of atoms or ions are arranged in a 3D lattice structure with neighboring spins aligned in opposite directions....
Researchers create an autonomously navigating wheeled-legged robot
Fast-moving autonomous mobile robots could help to deliver goods to various locations, helping to tackle disruptions to product supply chains. Nonetheless, wheeled or legged robots alone might not...
Study uncovers a quantum acoustical Drude peak shift in strange metals
Researchers at Harvard University, Sabanci University, and Peking University recently gathered findings that could shed light on the origin of the high-temperature absorption peaks observed in...
Study shows that opportunity costs influence when people leave social interactions
Psychology researchers and neuroscientists have been trying to understand the principles guiding social interactions for decades. While their studies have yielded interesting results, many questions...
A framework to construct quantum spherical codes
To reliably perform complex, large-scale calculations, computing systems rely on so-called error correction schemes, techniques designed to protect information against errors. These techniques are...
