Affordable quantum computers: Researchers discover a new method of creating small lattice waves in silicon crystals that encode quantum info
While modern computing power has been growing at an exponential rate, experts say it’ll soon hit a brick wall as it hits the fundamental limit on how many transistors can be packed into a computer chip. As such, many scientists are now looking towards quantum computers as the future of computing. However, a number of […]

Flight of the living dead: Fungal infection compels cicadas to go on sexcapades long after their genitals fall off
While it’s true that human zombies still remain in the realm of science fiction, their insect counterparts have been known to science for quite a while. A recent study took a closer look at one of the more macabre causes of this phenomenon: a deadly fungus that turns cicadas into sex zombies as it rots their genitals and drives them […]

Researchers develop new chemical separation method that could pave the way for faster purification of elements, potential cancer treatment
Separating elements, especially some of the rarer ones used for certain medical treatments, can be a time-intensive and painstaking task. A recent study, however, promises a faster and more efficient method of separating elements – one that may help obtain a rare isotope that shows promise in cancer treatments. Researchers at the Department of Energy‘s […]

Study finds that lithium could be used to treat people with a rare muscle disease
A rare disease called limb-girdle muscular dystrophy D1 (LMGD1) makes even everyday actions such as climbing stairs, lifting objects and standing up from a chair difficult to do. Over time, it can even cause some people to lose the ability to walk. A recent study, however, shows that lithium can be a possible treatment for LMGD1. Researchers at the […]

A collision of massive proportions: Astronomers discover a pair of titanic black holes that are heading for a collision
There’s an age-old adage about an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object – now one such encounter is about to happen on an interstellar scale. Astronomers have recently identified two supermassive black holes that are on a collision course with each other. The team, led by Princeton University‘s Andy Goulding, found the supermassive black holes […]

Scientists develop new tape that can keep its stickiness even in the most extreme temperatures
Anyone who’s ever worked with any form tape has most likely had trouble getting it to stick on really hot or really cold surfaces. The adhesives used in various tapes today can end up loosing their stickiness when exposed to extreme temperatures, while leaving behind an annoying residue. A recent study, however, has come up with […]

Study reveals marathoners and elite athletes have high levels of gut bacterium that improve exercise endurance
Ever wonder how elite athletes are able to power through tough challenges? Well, it turns out it’s simply a matter of guts, or rather something that resides in their gut. A recent study highlighted how marathoners have unusually high levels of a bacterium in their digestive tracts that may be helping them go the distance. The findings come […]

Scientists crack the code on the mystery of Stonehenge’s creation: They might have used lard
How ancient Britons built Stonehenge has remained a mystery for the longest time. A new analysis, however, claims to have found the mystery material that enabled these ancient people to build the stone monolith – lard. Archaeologists from Newcastle University propose that ancient builders used pig fat during the construction of Stonehenge. According to the archaeologists, […]

Scientists develop an algorithm that can scan millions of papers, PREDICT discoveries and “uncover hidden knowledge”
Machine learning algorithms have been used to train artificial intelligence to do a number of amazing things, from playing chess to predicting customer preferences. Now, a group of researchers used machine learning to try to uncover hidden scientific knowledge. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy‘s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have created a machine learning algorithm, called Word2vec, […]
