Conventional tests that look only at a small subset of genetic code often miss variations hiding outside the protein-coding genome.
Researchers have developed a new protocol for benchmarking quantum gates, a critical step toward realizing the full potential of quantum computing and potentially accelerating progress toward fault-tolerant quantum computers.
The new protocol, called deterministic benchmarking (DB), provides a more detailed and efficient method for identifying specific types of quantum noise and errors compared to widely used existing techniques.
The work is published in the journal Chemical Reviews.
Researchers from ETH Zurich have carried out the largest field study to date, to find out whether heat pumps are running efficiently. When looked at in operation, it turns out that these units are often not optimally configured. Monitoring systems and legal standards could provide a remedy
Researchers have long used spatial proteomics, particularly immunofluorescence-based methods, to identify, quantify and map proteins within tumours and their microenvironments. Now, these tools are edging towards the clinic.
Cancer 360 brings all data into one central system so clinicians can prioritise those most in need and speed up cancer diagnosis.
Two distinct phases—entanglement dominated and magic dominated—in Hilbert space are separated by a computational separation yet provide a unifying framework for understanding quantum behavior.

Figure AI, the robotics company aiming to build the first commercially viable humanoid worker, recently announced it secured a staggering $675 million in funding from some of the biggest names in tech and venture capital, including Jeff Bezos, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), OpenAI, and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC). Now valued at $2.6 billion, the San Jose, California-based startup is in talks with United Parcel Service (NYSE:UPS) to integrate its humanoid robots into the global shipping g

Sophie Cohen-Bodénès and Peter Neri, neuroscientists at École Normale Supérieure, in France, report possible evidence of cuttlefish communicating by waving their ‘arms’ at one another. Their paper is posted on the bioRxiv preprint server.
Prior research has shown that cuttlefish can change their skin color on demand and use that ability as a form of communication. Cuttlefish have also been observed moving their arms in certain ways when confronting other males. They possess eight arms lined with suckers, along with a pair of tentacles situated close to their mouths. In this new effort, the researchers took a closer look at the ways cuttlefish move their arms, possibly as a means of communicating with others of their kind.
The researchers put several specimens in a tank in their lab to observe them as they interacted with one another. They also videotaped several specimens as they moved their arms and played the videos back to the cuttlefish to see how they would react. They found four waving patterns that appeared to be consistent—up, side, roll, and crown.
