Scientists have taken an important step toward building the powerful quantum computers of the future by shrinking a key piece of technology with the help of 3D printing. For the first time, ...

Ion channels are pores in the membrane of cells or cell organelles. They allow positively or negatively charged particles, so-called ions, to be transported across the membrane. Biochemists at ...

The first digital “quantum simulator” based on trapped ions has been built by physicists in Austria. The system, developed by Ben Lanyon and colleagues at the University of Innsbruck, comprises a ...

Inhibition of elongation of oat coleoptile sections by La3+, Pr3+, and Nd3+ is similar to but greater than that by Ca2+ at low and intermediate concentrations. The lanthanons might serve as probes to ...

It can reveal plaque in arteries, offering a more precise estimate of a person’s risk of heart disease. Yet the test remains ...

Concerns about the security and sustainability of battery materials being utilized are growing. The long-term use of lithium in energy storage devices is in danger due to looming worries about ...
