A bold new laser-based technique allows researchers to trap and charge a single aerosol particle, opening a window into how tiny ice crystals in clouds can store and release electrical energy. As the team discovered, laser photons can remove electrons from these particles one by one, allowing scientists to observe how they charge, discharge, and…
Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have turned to concepts from polymer physics to better understand a central feature of Alzheimer’s disease: the formation of tau protein fibrils. Their work revealed that these fibrils do not appear suddenly. Instead, they emerge after large clumps of tau proteins begin to assemble in solution, a process that resembles…
IBM scientists have created two new quantum processing units (QPU) which they say will bring them one step closer to achieving a quantum advantage by next year, and a fully fault-tolerant system. quantum computer by 2029. The first processor, called IBM Quantum Nighthawk, is a 120-qubit chip that can process quantum calculations that are 30%…
