Study finds algorithm to speed up development of quantum computers
It’s easy to see why experts are gearing up for a future powered by quantum computers. For one, these have the potential to outperform conventional computers. Unlike our current models which operate using single binary values of “0” or “1,” quantum computers use qubits that can process using either value or even both at the same […]

Mosquitoes balance taste with risk: Study finds they can remember your smell, and if you tried to swat them
There are a few insects, or animals for that matter, that can top our disdain for mosquitoes. They’re pretty much everywhere, and that bite – a reaction in part to their mouthparts impaling you and drinking your blood – is nothing short of annoying to most people.

Misconception: The black-legged tick, not the lone star, carries the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, according to a review of evidence
One fact that people know about Lyme disease is that ticks cause it. As to which tick causes the condition – which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports as the most commonly reported vector-based illness in the U.S. – is where the confusion starts. Lyme disease, of which the causative agent is the spirochetal bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is known […]

Music may trump medication for the mind: Scientists explore the ways music engages different brain regions for healing and therapeutic effects
Once limited to auditoriums and concert halls, music is now making its way to operating theaters and hospital wards.

Developing grease from different types of waste oils
Researchers from Malaysia have found a way to synthesize grease from waste oil using red gypsum. The details, outlined in the Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, was the culmination of efforts to determine the best quality of grease using different ratios of red gypsum and fumed silica. To measure the overall grade of the […]

Caffeine protects the lungs by strengthening minute tissue structures
There are some things that – by virtue of logic – just don’t go together: Raking leaves and a windy day, for instance. Chocolate and dogs also fit the bill, and even caffeine and babies.
