Nano-nutrients can blunt effects of soil contamination, boost crop yields

 Nanotechnology News
 15 October 2024
One of the pressing problems that the world faces in the era of climate change is how to grow enough healthy food to meet the increasing global population, even as soil contamination rises. Research recently published in Nature Food by an international team of scientists led by the University of...

Spin-wave reservoir chips can enhance edge computing

 Physics General News
 15 October 2024
Reservoir computing (RC) has a few benefits over other artificial neural networks, including the reservoir that gives this technique its name. The reservoir functions mainly to nonlinearly transform input data more quickly and efficiently. Spin waves, propagating wave-like disturbances arising from...

First coherent picture of an atomic nucleus made of quarks and gluons

 Physics General News
 15 October 2024
The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to reproduce all the properties of atomic nuclei hitherto observed in nuclear experiments using only quarks and...

Study explores the physical origin of errors in a spin qubit processor

 Physics General News
 14 October 2024
To achieve remarkable performances, quantum computing systems based on multiple qubits must attain high-fidelity entanglement between their underlying qubits. Past studies have shown that solid-state quantum platforms—quantum computing systems based on solid materials—are highly prone to errors,...
