The same tiny vibrations that carry quantum information across a chip could also keep that information from fading away. Quantum technologies face a persistent problem: qubits are extraordinarily sensitive to disturbances from their surroundings. Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have now protected a qubit using mechanical […]
Harvard Scientists Use Tiny Sound Waves To Protect Quantum Information

Quantum technologies face a persistent problem: qubits are extraordinarily sensitive to disturbances from their surroundings. Researchers at the Harvard John A.

Einstein’s Gravity Just Passed a Strange New Quantum Test
An experiment comparing falling and stationary rubidium atomic waves found a quantum phase difference consistent with Einstein’s equivalence principle. A rubidium atom can behave as a wave that researchers can split between two paths. This allows the same atom to effectively follow both paths at once, without being broken into pieces. Physicists have now used […]
Researchers Uncover a Hidden Trigger Behind Chronic Inflammation
The findings offer new insights that could help guide the development of future therapies. A protein called human resistin may help flip on one of the immune system’s most powerful inflammatory switches. Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine found that resistin can activate a pathway involved in chronic inflammation, a process linked to conditions including cardiovascular […]

Hair Loss on Ozempic May Have a Surprising Genetic Explanation
Hair thinning reported with Ozempic-like drugs may not be explained by rapid weight loss alone, as a new genetic study points to the GLP-1 pathway itself. Hair thinning reported by people taking drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound has often been attributed to the rapid weight loss these medications can produce. A new genetic […]
Ancient Europe Burned for Thousands of Years As Ferns Fed the Flames
Ancient ferns may have helped keep Triassic Europe burning by rapidly regrowing after fires and supplying fresh fuel for the next blaze. Around 201 million years ago, Earth was rocked by the end-Triassic mass extinction. The crisis has been linked to enormous volcanic activity associated with the breakup of Pangea. Those eruptions released huge quantities […]
