Quantum teleportation may sound like science fiction, but a new breakthrough could bring the technology another step closer to practical use. Researchers have developed and experimentally demonstrated a new way to identify a difficult type of multi-photon entanglement known as a W state, solving a challenge that had remained open for more than 25 years. […] Read the original article here: Scientists advance quantum teleportation with new method...

Since the discovery of the first remnants of a jet-powered Shahed drone near Kyiv in June 2025, these upgraded kamikaze UAVs have become a nightmare for Ukrainian civilians. Described by some analysts as the most significant Russian drone innovation since the beginning of the war, they are outrunning the beleaguered nation's innovative interceptor systems, forcing a pivot in technology development and air-defense strategies. Russia manufactures the Iran-designed long-range Shahed drones under...

Over the last week I was lucky enough to spend several days communing with science writers in Oregon. I love going different places and seeing how different things are. This time I particularly enjoyed the difference in vegetation – ferns and mossy rocks everywhere. I have a soft spot for lichens, and friends send me […] The post Snapshot: Glorious lichen appeared first on The Last Word On Nothing .

Most disease-associated genetic variants lie in non-coding regions1,2, yet mechanistic insights are limited by the lack of an empirical framework for characterizing the molecular consequences of regulatory variation. Single-cell molecular quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping3,4 connects variants to gene regulation but lacks the power and simultaneous measurements to trace mechanisms from chromatin to expression5. Here we show that population-scale simultaneous profiling of chromatin accessibility...

Seventeen years ago, cell biologist Donald Ingber and his colleagues at Harvard University's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering submitted a paper to the journal Science describing their model human lung. It was smaller than a USB stick and made of a clear polymer slab containing narrow channels, which were lined with the type of cells that line a lung's air sacs and blood vessels. When air was pumped through hollow chambers beside the channels, the device rhythmically expanded...
