Researchers have directly observed the optical Magnus effect for the first time, revealing a tiny shift in laser interactions that could affect the precise control of qubits in quantum computers. Anyone who has watched a spinning soccer ball curve around a defensive wall has seen what happens when spin changes an object’s path through the […]
Why Your Immune System Weakens With Age Is More Complicated Than Scientists Thought
A new study reveals how aging changes the immune system in complex ways and identifies potential targets for healthier aging. Why does immunity weaken with age, and does that decline happen the same way throughout the body? Researchers at USC approached that question by looking across the body rather than focusing on a single organ. […]

Scientists Find a Potential “Root” of Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s may begin to unravel the brain when a small group of neurons switches on a receptor it was never meant to use, triggering damage that spreads from synapses to memories. Alzheimer’s disease is often defined by amyloid plaques and tau tangles, but those hallmarks are part of a much wider breakdown. Neurons become overactive, […]
Scientists Turn Sunlight Into Quantum Entanglement
Scientists have turned ordinary sunlight into a source of quantum entanglement, opening a surprising path toward more energy-efficient quantum technology. Quantum technologies often depend on powerful lasers that consume significant amounts of energy. As these systems grow larger and more widespread, their energy requirements could become an increasingly important concern. Now, researchers have demonstrated that […]

Scientists Discover the Moon May Have Formed in Just Five Hours
The Moon may have emerged largely intact within hours of the colossal impact that shaped its birth. Earth has an unusually large moon for a planet of its size and position in the solar system, yet scientists still do not fully understand how that companion came to exist. Now, researchers from the Southwest Research Institute […]
