Scientists have discovered more proof that exercising while pregnant benefits both the mother and the unborn child.According to a study presented today (Sunday) at the "virtual" European Respiratory Society International Congress, Dr. Hrefna Katrin Gudmundsdottir asserted that a study of 814 infants had for the first time established a link between infants born to...

During this event, the populations of the predators abruptly dropped by as much as 90 percent, researchers report in the journal Science on June 4....
The School of Athens (1509–1511) by RaphaelTo this day, most of the Western way of thinking stems from the philosophical explorations of three men of Ancient Greece. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. No question you have heard of these philosophers. According to Hannah Fieldings, Award-Winning Romance Novelist, she started to investigate for her latest novel, Aphrodite's Tears, placed...
Scientists have collected evidence of local symmetry breaking in a quantum material upon heating. They believe these local states are associated with electronic orbitals that serve as orbital degeneracy lifting (ODL) "precursors" to the titanium (Ti) dimers (two molecules linked together) formed when the material is cooled to low temperature. (Electron orbitals are considered...
An international group of scientists made a tiny chemistry lab for a rover that will drill below the Martian surface, searching for previous or existing life signs. For ExoMars Reconnaissance is a joint venture involving the European Space Agency and the Russian aerospace company Roscosmos. NASA made a significant contribution to MOMA, the laboratory...
Crystals of the material hexagonal boron nitride can be etched so that the pattern you draw at the top transforms into a smaller and razor-sharp version at the bottom. These perforations can be used as a shadow mask to draw components and circuits in graphene. This process enables a precision that is impossible with...
Some physical systems, particularly in the quantum world, do not reach stable equilibrium, even after long. An ETH researcher has now discovered a sophisticated description of this phenomenon.If a bottle of beer is placed in a huge bathtub loaded with icy water, it will not be long before you can enjoy a chilly beer....
The discoveries, by Nagoya College researchers and colleagues in Japan and released in the journal Advanced Materials, allude to the development of materials and device methods used in optical quantum computing data processing.Photons are light particles with fascinating properties that can be explored for the storage and transportation of data and reveal tremendous promise...
Recent research reveals evidence that nursing mothers do not transmit COVID through breastmilk.A research study conducted by scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC)– in partnership with numerous other universities– implies that nursing females with COVID-19 do not transfer the SARS-CoV-2 virus with their milk. However, they do give milk-borne antibodies that...
Researchers boost their recently developed quantum algorithm, bringing it to one-tenth the computational price of Quantum Phase Estimation, and also utilize it to directly compute the vertical ionization energies of light atoms as well as molecules such as CO, O2, CN, F2, H2O, NH3 within 0.1 electron volts of accuracy.OSAKA, Japan. Quantum computers have...
