Published Physicists observe competition between magnetic orders
(via sciencedaily.com) Two-dimensional materials, consisting of a single layer of atoms, have been booming in research for years. They possess novel properties that can only be explained with the help of the laws of quantum mechanics. Researchers have now used ultracold atoms to gain new insights into previously unknown quantum phenomena. They found out that the magnetic orders between two coupled thin films of atoms compete with each other.
Published Like adults, children by age 3 prefer seeing fractal patterns
(via sciencedaily.com) By the time children are 3 years old they already have an adult-like preference for visual fractal patterns commonly seen in nature, according to researchers.
Published New computational method validates images without 'ground truth'
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have developed a computational method that allows them to determine not if an entire imaging picture is accurate, but if any given point on the image is probable, based on the assumptions built into the model.
Published A biochemical random number
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists have generated a huge true random number using DNA synthesis. It is the first time that a number of this magnitude has been created by biochemical means.
Published Researchers simulate privacy leaks in functional genomics studies
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers demonstrate that it's possible to de-identify raw functional genomics data to ensure patient privacy. They also demonstrate how these raw data could be linked back to specific individuals through their gene variants by something as simple as an abandoned coffee cup if these sanitation measures are not put in place.
Published COVID-19 'super-spreading' events play outsized role in overall disease transmission
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers find COVID-19 super-spreading events, in which one person infects more than six other people, are much more frequent than anticipated, and that they have an outsized contribution to coronavirus transmission.
Published Researchers discover a uniquely quantum effect in erasing information
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have discovered a uniquely quantum effect in erasing information that may have significant implications for the design of quantum computing chips. Their surprising discovery brings back to life the paradoxical 'Maxwell's demo', which has tormented physicists for over 150 years.
