Though mammals adapted on land, a new study by Maria Chikina and Nathan Clark has shown that during three major independent evolutionary events, a number of mammals harkened back to ...
The GRAVITY instrument is now operating with the four 8.2-metre Unit Telescopes of ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT - http://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/paranal/) , and even from e...
The trap researchers used to perform their quantum simulation. To understand exactly what their theories predict, physicists routinely do computer simulations. The team used a tried-...
Researchers simulated the creation of elementary particle pairs out of the vacuum by using a quantum computer. Simulation of particle-antiparticle pairs using a quantum computer Gau...
Directly bonded fused silica GRISM (Prism + Grating) with grating at the inner surface. To attain the highest possible resolution, grating and prism structures are combined: prisms d...
In general, quantum simulations can provide a clearer picture of the dynamics of systems that are impossible to understand using conventional computers due to their high degree of co...

The Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer is the first system in the world that has a peak performance of over 100 PFlops. An overall introduction to the TaihuLight system, The Sunway Taih...
ESA astronaut Tim Peake, NASA astronaut Tim Kopra and commander Yuri Malenchenko landed in the steppe of Kazakhstan on Saturday, 18 June in their Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft. The trio s...
The Tibetan Plateau was created by continental collision some 55 million years ago when the north-moving Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate, causing the land to crumple an...
A new counterintuitive electron microscope approach can collect magnetic signals through the introduction of aberrations. The aberrated probe (right) results in imaging and spectra w...
RMIT quantum computing researchers have developed and demonstrated a method capable of efficiently detecting high-dimensional entanglement. Full-scale quantum computing relies heavil...

To investigate the origin of rods in mammals, Swaroop and his team examined rod and cone cells taken from mice at different stages of development. A majority of the photoreceptors (9...
Gravitational waves carry information about their origins and about the nature of gravity that cannot otherwise be obtained, and physicists have concluded that these gravitational wa...
(Courtesy: iStockphoto/hh5800) A proposal for a gravitational-wave detector made of two space-based atomic clocks has been unveiled by physicists in the US. Just last week, a second...
Identifying the presence or absence of metastatic cancer in a patient’s lymph nodes is a routine and critically important task for pathologists, Beck explained. In an objective evalu...
The SW26010 and the Sunway TaihuLight system has been engineered for super-efficient floating point performance. This creates a total of 260 cores per unit and it’s built from there....
Using 12,500-year-old conical mortars carved into bedrock, they reconstructed how their ancient ancestors processed wild barley to produce groat meals, as well as a delicacy that mig...
Most plant-based foods contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, but the amounts of each vary in different foods. A more recent animal study (opens in new tab) suggested that fiber m...
There are three macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein and fats , Smathers said. Carbohydrates are found in foods you know are good for you (vegetables) and ones you know are not (do...
This means it’s absorbed into the body with dietary fat, and then stored in body tissue for later use. You can also get vitamin A by consuming plant sources of beta-carotene – found ...
Moons: The Jovian system currently includes 67 known moons. One storm, the Great red spot, has been raging since at least the late 1600s. In 1610, Galileo Galilei was the first astr...
Artist’s impression of the Kuiper Belt Object and possible dwarf planet Quaoar. First observed in 2005 by Mike Brown and his team, the discovery of Eris overturned decades of astrono...
