Physicists Set New Quantum Record With Heaviest ‘Schrödinger Cat’ Yet

Posted by in categories: computing, quantum physics

A tiny vibrating crystal weighing little more than a grain of sand has become the heaviest object ever to be recorded in a superposition of locations.

Physicists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich coupled a mechanical resonator to a type of superconducting circuit commonly used in quantum computing to effectively replicate Erwin Schrödinger’s famous thought experiment on an unprecedented scale.

Ironically, Schrödinger would be somewhat skeptical that anything so large – well, anything at all – could exist in a nebulous state of reality.

Elon Musk: Starship could be ready to fly again in ‘six to eight weeks’

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, space travel

The launch pad could be repaired within two months, Musk said, though the FAA countered that “safety will dictate the timeline.”

The full Starship and Super Heavy launch system soared into the skies for the first time on April 20.

Since that time, SpaceX, the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), and environmentalists have been hard at work trying to understand the aftermath of the first launch of the world’s most powerful rocket.

The future of heart health: Wearable e-tattoo provides comprehensive heart measurements

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, wearables

Revolutionizing the process of heart monitoring, researchers have developed a wearable e-tattoo that provides continuous heart monitoring outside of a clinical setting.

A team of researchers from The University of Texas at Austin has created a flexible and wearable medical device that could transform the fight against heart disease. This device called an electronic tattoo or e-tattoo, can be attached to the chest to continuously monitor the heart outside of clinical settings.

The e-tattoo is wireless and mobile, as it has small active circuits and sensors linked by stretchable interconnections. The device weighs just 2.5 grams and can be worn comfortably with a medical dressing.

The Achilles Heel That Could Lead to Universal Coronavirus Treatments

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, innovation

😗😁


AUSTIN, Texas — Researchers behind discoveries that led to vaccines for the virus that causes COVID-19 have identified a potential Achilles heel that exists in all coronaviruses. These findings, led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, could aid the development of improved treatments for COVID-19 and also protect against existing and emerging coronaviruses.

Most vaccines and antibody-based treatments for COVID-19 neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 virus by disrupting interactions between the protein spike on the virus and the ACE2 receptor on human cells, which the virus hijacks to gain entry. But mutations in the spike protein mean that emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 can escape the human antibody response, making treatments less effective and leading to vaccinated individuals still experiencing breakthrough infections. The researchers are addressing the issue by focusing on parts of the spike protein that are crucial for the virus’s survival and don’t mutate.

Harvard Scientists Have Developed a Groundbreaking Solution to Hearing Loss

Posted by in categories: media & arts, neuroscience

A group of scientists at Harvard Medical School are the pion-ears of innovative developments in hearing loss treatment.

Researchers at the school’s Mass Eye and Ear hospital claim to have developed a groundbreaking solution to hearing loss, one of the music community’s most vexing and elusive problems.

According to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers formulated a “drug-like cocktail” comprising various molecules that regenerate the inner ear hair cells responsible for relaying sounds to the brain.
