The potential of quantum computer to revolutionize the field of chemistry and enable the simulation of complex chemical processes could have significant implications for the development of new pharmaceuticals and materials. Recently, researchers at Chalmers University successfully carried out...
Credit: Canva Women make up only 34% of graduates in the EU in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The amount is even lower in the STEM fields unrelated to care. The fact is that girls are systematically inhibited from studying these fields during their education, which restricts their chances for access...

In an effort to assist frontline cleaning teams with touchpoint disinfection, researchers from the University of Queensland's School of Engineering are striving to create a spray capable of...

This protein could be utilized to spot brain cancer, preventing the need for invasive tests and enhancing the probability of...
Earth's inner core. Credit: Rost-9D/iStock The rotation of the Earth's solid inner core may have recently stopped briefly as well as could be reversing, according to a study released in Nature Geoscience this week. The authors show proof that oscillation in the rotation of the internal core coincides with periodic changes in the Earth's surface...
A single free electron propagates above the special layered structure that the researchers engineered, only a few tens of nanometers above it.During its movement, the electron emits discrete packets of radiation called "photons". Between the electron and the photons it emitted, a connection of "quantum entanglement" is formed. Credit: Ella Maru Studio Researchers from the...
Salute to ionocaloric cooling: a new manner to lower the mercury that can substitute existing methods with something more secure and friendlier to the earth. Common refrigeration systems transport warmth far from an area through a gas that cools as it propagates some distance away. As efficient as this method is, some of the choice...
A donut-shaped magnetic confinement device called a tokamak is one of the leading designs for a working fusion power generator, with many such experiments running worldwide. Credit: Christopher Roux, EUROfusion Consortium, CC BY Our society faces the grand difficulty of offering sustainable, secure, and affordable forms of generating energy while trying to reduce CO2 emissions to net...
SpaceX's massive Starship rocket remains to pass key tests on its road to sending the Mars-bound launch system up to orbit for the 1st time. The private space firm fired 7 Raptor engines on its Starship Super Heavy prototype, called Booster seven, on Monday, September nineteen. As Space.com points out, it´s the highest number of...
Since the dynamics inside a fusion reactor are extremely complicated, the walls may melt. Image credit: Max Planck Institute of Plasma physics. Cutaway of a Fusion Reactor A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) and the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wein) has actually found a way to manage Type-I...
