A New Way for Quantum Computing Systems to Keep Their Cool
Heat causes errors in the qubits that are the building blocks of a quantum computer, so quantum systems are typically kept inside refrigerators that keep the temperature just above absolute zero (-459 degrees Fahrenheit).
PFAS Can Suppress White Blood Cells’ Ability to Destroy Invaders
In a new study, researchers found that the PFAS chemical GenX suppresses the neutrophil respiratory burst – the method white blood cells known as neutrophils use to kill invading pathogens.
A More Sustainable Way to Generate Phosphorus
Phosphorus is an essential ingredient in thousands of products, including herbicides, lithium-ion batteries, and even soft drinks.
Using Combustion to Make Better Batteries
An MIT team is working to harness combustion to yield valuable materials, including some that are critical in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries.
New Technology Revolutionizes the Analysis of Old Ice
Ice cores are a unique climate archive. Thanks to a new method developed by researchers at the University of Bern and Empa, greenhouse gas concentrations in 1.5 million year old ice can be measured even more accurately.
