Processore quantistico Intel Tunnel Falls a 12 qubit: è il primo di una lunga serie. L'azienda punta a realizzare i qubit su chip in silicio.

Un team di ricerca sviluppa un idrogel capace di estrarre umidità dall'aria, anche nel deserto. Un bel colpo contro la siccità mondiale.

A new study may be bad news for people who take so-called ‘smart drugs,’ usually prescribed to treat the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), thinking they will increase workplace or academic productivity.

Researchers have used a machine learning model to identify three compounds that could combat aging. They say their approach could be an effective way of identifying new drugs, especially for complex diseases.

Lo studio, che per la prima volta non prevede l’uso di ovuli e sperma, potrebbe permettere enormi passi avanti nella ricerca sulle malattie genetiche, ma solleva problemi etici e legali

Researchers from Turkey have found evidence of a that combining caffeine and taurine has synergistic effects on physical and cognitive performance. Their findings have been published in the journal Nutrients. ...

The portable supercapacitor that can be charged using light holds promise for replacing the conventional lithion-ion batteries in portable and wearable devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and smartwatches.

In an effort to combat balding, a team of scientists claims to have successfully gene-hacked mouse stem cells to stimulate hair growth.

Good news for space tourists: 2 weeks in space showed no effect on the brain’s ventricles.

The experiments are the first of their kind and could lead to new advances in computing. A team at the University of Chicago has explored the quantum properties of phonons, the quantum particles that transmit sound. They have shown that phonons can be "split" into a quantum superposition and beha

La compagnia norvegese Hurtigruten ha iniziato lo sviluppo di una nave elettrica e super efficiente, in grado di catturare l'energia del sole e del vento su vele retrattili dalla superficie enorme

Take a lattice—a flat section of a grid of uniform cells, like a window screen or a honeycomb—and lay another, similar lattice above it. But instead of trying to line up the edges or the cells of ...

Un gruppo di ricercatori ha proposto un metodo alternativo per la produzione di ossigeno sulla Luna e su Marte, più efficiente dell'attuale.

Matter in space can arise out of what we perceive as nothing. But there is no such thing as a void in the Universe.

A new discovery explains how quantum chemistry may protect against age-related macular degeneration. It could lead to new treatments.

Sviluppato il prototipo di un dispositivo che raccoglie e sfrutta energia da un'antenna. Saranno così i cellulari di domani?

Scientists are conducting a long-term experiment on evolution in the lab, to investigate how single-celled organisms could evolve into multicellular lifeforms. After thousands of generations, their yeast grew 20,000 times bigger and 10,000 times tougher.

Thanks to a novel tool that detects bacteria in saliva using SHERLOCK, the evolution of CRISPR, you may soon be able to leave the dentist after a checkup with more comprehensive information about the health of your mouth. The accurate tool is much faster than existing methods and may lead to the early detection and treatment of mouth and other diseases.

Researchers have created atomically thin artificial neurons capable of processing both light and electric signals for computing. The material enables the simultaneous existence of separate

Cells possess a remarkable ability to organize their interiors using minuscule protein machines known as molecular motors, which generate directed motion. Most molecular motors rely on a common form of chemical energy, ATP, to function. Recently, a team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute o

Gli studiosi di Stanford hanno scoperto un composto metallico che può dare vita a forme più efficienti di memoria utili a portare l'addestramento delle IA sui singoli dispositivi anziché su server remoti.

Engineers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) have developed a new radar sensor that can pick up movements just 100th the width of a human hair. Better yet, the sensor itself is only the size of a sesame seed and is energy efficient.

Gen Z workers are entering the workforce with plenty of technological know-how, but plenty of glaring gaps as well, making navigating office life difficult.
