Published Powering the quantum revolution: Quantum engines on the horizon
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists unveil exciting possibilities for the development of highly efficient quantum devices.
Published New proof for black hole spin
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The supermassive black hole at the heart of galaxy M87, made famous by the first picture of a black hole shadow, has yielded another first: the jet shooting out from the black hole has been confirmed to wobble, providing direct proof that the black hole is spinning.
Published New insights into the atmosphere and star of an exoplanet
(via sciencedaily.com) A new study of the intriguing TRAPPIST-1 exoplanetary system has demonstrated the complex interaction between the activity of the system's star and its planetary features.
Published New qubit circuit enables quantum operations with higher accuracy
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have developed a novel superconducting qubit architecture that can perform operations between qubits with much higher accuracy than scientists have yet been able to achieve. This architecture, which utilizes a relatively new type of superconducting qubit called fluxonium, is scalable and could be used to someday build a large-scale quantum computer.
Published Hidden supermassive black holes reveal their secrets through radio signals
(via sciencedaily.com) Astronomers have found a striking link between the amount of dust surrounding a supermassive black hole and the strength of the radio emission produced in extremely bright galaxies.
Published Drug discovery on an unprecedented scale
(via sciencedaily.com) Boosting virtual screening with machine learning allowed for a 10-fold time reduction in the processing of 1.56 billion drug-like molecules. Researchers teamed up with industry and supercomputers to carry out one of the world's largest virtual drug screens.
Published Astronomers discover newborn galaxies with the James Webb Space Telescope
(via sciencedaily.com) With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers are now able to peer so far back in time that we are approaching the epoch where we think that the first galaxies were created. Throughout most of the history of the Universe, galaxies seemingly tend to follow a tight relation between how many stars they have formed, and how many heavy elements they have formed. But for the first time we now see signs that this relation between the amount of stars and elements does not hold for the earliest galaxies. The reason is likely that these galaxies simply are in the process of being created, and have not yet had the time to create the heavy elements.
Published Astronomers find abundance of Milky Way-like Galaxies in early Universe, rewriting cosmic evolution theories
(via sciencedaily.com) Galaxies from the early Universe are more like our own Milky Way than previously thought, flipping the entire narrative of how scientists think about structure formation in the Universe, according to new research.
Published Efficient training for artificial intelligence
(via sciencedaily.com) New physics-based self-learning machines could replace the current artificial neural networks and save energy.
Published Carbon source found on surface of Jupiter's moon Europa
(via sciencedaily.com) Astronomers using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have identified carbon dioxide in a specific region on the icy surface of Europa.
Published Shh! Quiet cables set to help reveal rare physics events
(via sciencedaily.com) Newly developed ultra-low radiation cables reduce background noise for neutrino and dark matter detectors.
Published Scientists successfully maneuver robot through living lung tissue
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists have shown that their steerable lung robot can autonomously maneuver the intricacies of the lung, while avoiding important lung structures.
Published 'Garbatrage' spins e-waste into prototyping gold
(via sciencedaily.com) Building on work in human-computer interaction that aims to incorporate sustainability and reuse into the field, researchers introduce 'garbatrage,' a framework for prototype builders centered around repurposing underused devices.
Published Tag team of the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA captures the core of the most distant galaxy protocluster
(via sciencedaily.com) An international research team has used the James Webb Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to observe the most distant galaxy protocluster to date, 13.14 billion light-years away. The team has successfully captured the 'core region' of the galaxy protocluster, which corresponds to a metropolitan area with a particularly high number density of galaxies. The team has revealed that many galaxies are concentrated in a small area and that the growth of galaxies is accelerated. Furthermore, the team used simulations to predict the future of the metropolitan area and found that the region will merge into one larger galaxy within tens of millions of years. These results are expected to provide important clues regarding the birth and growth of galaxies.
Published Let it flow: Recreating water flow for virtual reality
(via sciencedaily.com) A research team has harnessed the power of deep reinforcement learning to replicate the flow of water when disturbed. The replication allowed for recreating water flow in real time based on only a small amount of data, opening up the possibility for virtual reality interactions involving water.
Published Cloud services without servers: What's behind it
(via sciencedaily.com) A new generation of cloud services is on the rise. It is based on the paradigm of 'serverless computing'. A recent article deals with the history, status and potential of serverless computing.
Published Black holes eat faster than previously expected
(via sciencedaily.com) While previous researchers have hypothesized that black holes eat slowly, new simulations indicate that black holes scarf food much faster than conventional understanding suggests. Some quasars brighten and disappear within months -- a time scale that aligns with the new findings.
Published Combustion powers bug-sized robots to leap, lift and race
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers combined soft microactuators with high-energy-density chemical fuel to create an insect-scale quadrupedal robot that is powered by combustion and can outrace, outlift, outflex and outleap its electric-driven competitors.
Published Engineers grow full wafers of high-performing 2D semiconductor that integrates with state-of-the-art chips
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have grown a high-performing 2D semiconductor to a full-size, industrial-scale wafer. In addition, the semiconductor material, indium selenide (InSe), can be deposited at temperatures low enough to integrate with a silicon chip.
Published Scientists develop method to detect deadly infectious diseases
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have developed a way of detecting the early onset of deadly infectious diseases using a test so ultrasensitive that it could someday revolutionize medical approaches to epidemics. The test is an electronic sensor contained within a computer chip. It employs nanoballs -- microscopic spherical clumps made of tinier particles of genetic material -- and combines that technology with advanced electronics.
