Superconductors’ Secret: Old Physics Law Stands the Test of Time in Quantum Material Conundrum

Posted by in categories: materials, quantum physics

This surprising result is important for understanding unconventional superconductors and other materials where electrons band together to act collectively.

Long before researchers discovered the electron and its role in generating electrical current, they knew about electricity and were exploring its potential. One thing they learned early on was that metals were great conductors of both electricity and heat.

Discovery of the Wiedemann-Franz Law.

HIV-1 reservoir size after neonatal antiretroviral therapy and the potential to evaluate antiretroviral-therapy-free remission (IMPAACT P1115): a phase 1/2 proof-of-concept study

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Long-term data from a study implemented by the # NIH-funded International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Network showed very early antiretroviral therapy (ART) for infants who acquired HIV in utero enabled some infants to sustain viral suppression for more than two years.


Very early ART for in-utero HIV-1 can achieve sustained virological suppression in association with biomarkers indicating restricted HIV-1 reservoirs by age 2 years, which might enable potential ART-free remission.

How 3D Changes in the Genome Turned Sharks Into Skates

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

However, when major genome rearrangements occur — like the ones that the team was seeing in the skate’s DNA — boundaries can be lost, and the relative positions of genes on chromosomes can change. As a result, “some enhancers can provide instructions to the wrong gene,” explained Dario Lupiáñez, an evolutionary biologist at the Max Delbrück Center in Berlin and one of the senior authors of the study.

It seemed possible that the changes in the 3D architecture of the skate genome might have disrupted the ancient blocks of genes the skates inherited from their sharklike ancestors, affecting the genes’ function. “We were trying to look at whether some genome rearrangements in the little skate actually break these blocks,” said Ferdinand Marlétaz, a genomicist at University College London and co-first author of the study.

Messenger is finally getting end-to-end encryption by default

Posted by in category: encryption

Years after Mark Zuckerberg said encrypted chats were coming to Messenger, it’s finally being enabled by default.

Meta is rolling out end-to-end encryption for one-on-one chats and calls on Messenger, finally fulfilling a promise that’s been in the works for quite awhile.


The switch to default has been in the works for a long time.
