Quantum computers have shown great promise in outperforming conventional computers in various information processing tasks. However, their large-scale deployment is hindered by their sensitivity to noise, which leads to errors in computations. While quantum error correction is a technique designed to address these errors on-the-fly, quantum error mitigation takes a more indirect approach by running

Susan Wojcicki, a groundbreaking tech executive, made significant contributions to both Google and YouTube. Her partnership with Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin dates back to the late 1990s when she rented out her Menlo Park garage to them for $1,700 a month. This collaboration laid the foundation for what would become one of
Ammonia production is a critical process for the creation of fertilizers needed for agriculture, but the current methods are unsustainable and detrimental to the environment. Converting dinitrogen gas to ammonia requires a significant amount of energy and results in the emission of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide. With the Haber-Bosch process being the standard method
Pancreatic cancer is notoriously difficult to detect early, leading to poor prognosis for many patients. Traditional markers are insufficient for effective screenings, but a recent study published in the journal Angewandte Chemie introduces a groundbreaking method for precise and reliable diagnosis. The Importance of Autoantibodies Tumors produce specific proteins known as tumor-associated antigens, which trigger
Recent research conducted by the University of Ottawa, Carleton University, and University College London challenges the conventional belief regarding the isotopic composition of carbon in iron formations from the Saglek-Hebron Complex in Nunatsiavut (northern Labrador). While previous studies had suggested that these formations could be evidence of early life on Earth, the new study presents
The 2024 Paris Olympics has brought a new wave of urban dance style breaking into the spotlight, while the 2020 Tokyo Olympics introduced seven new sports, such as karate and climbing. The addition of these new sports has brought excitement and innovation to the games, but research shows that they also come with a higher
Scientists recently made a significant breakthrough by recovering the first long section of rocks from the Earth’s mantle. This mantle, which lies beneath the crust and is the planet’s largest component, has long been shrouded in mystery. The recovery of 1,268 meters of mantle rock from a tectonic window along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge during Expedition
Broccoli has gained popularity in recent years due to its high levels of the beneficial compound sulforaphane. This compound has been linked to various health benefits, including blood sugar control and potential anti-cancer properties. As a result, broccoli pills have become increasingly popular. However, a study from 2011 revealed that consuming the whole vegetable provides
A recent study conducted in the United States has revealed an interesting correlation between the frequency of sexual activity and the lifespan of female participants. The study, led by Walden University public health scientist Srikanta Banerjee, involved interviews and physical exams of over 14,000 adults aged between 20 and 59. The findings suggest that women
The relationship between tooth loss and an increased risk of dying from heart disease, stroke, and other fatal heart events has recently been highlighted in a new analysis. Previous studies have indicated a potential link between missing teeth and a higher likelihood of developing heart disease and cardiovascular diseases. Poor oral health is a well-known
The CrossBot prototype is a groundbreaking innovation in the realm of crosswalk safety. Created by Hovannes Kulhandjian, an associate professor in electrical and computer engineering at Fresno State, this robot resembles a small lawnmower with a single black pole and a tablet-sized screen attached. Equipped with advanced sensors such as Lidar, a microphone, radar, and
When people envision Olympic athletes, they often think of triumphant moments and record-breaking accomplishments. However, the journey to competing for an Olympic medal is a rollercoaster of highs and lows that often culminates in disappointment for the majority of athletes. Success on the Olympic stage is not merely a matter of talent or luck, but
The cannabis industry has been revolutionized by the introduction of a lesser-known compound called cannabigerol (CBG). While CBD has long been the star of the show, CBG is now gaining traction as it shows promising results in treating anxiety and stress. The recent human clinical trial conducted on 34 healthy users has shed light on
In a recent study published in the journal Chem by researchers from Dartmouth and Southern Methodist University (SMU), a groundbreaking method for capturing and displaying three-dimensional images inside polymers has been introduced. This innovative technique involves using a specialized light projector to imprint both two-dimensional and 3D images into polymers containing a photosensitive chemical additive
The recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Cambridge and the British Antarctic Survey sheds light on the impact of biomass burning on climate change. By tracking fire activity over the past 150 years through measurements of carbon monoxide trapped in Antarctic ice cores, the researchers have uncovered significant findings that challenge previous
