Revolutionary glasses have been engineered to shield individuals from seizure-inducing light, offering a potential new layer of safety for epilepsy patients during daily tasks and entertainment.
People with photosensitive epilepsy may soon benefit from an innovative pair of glasses designed to block light wavelengths known to trigger seizures.
Researchers from the University of Glasgow and the University of Birmingham have developed a prototype liquid crystal lens that could help reduce the risk of seizures. Their findings, published in Cell Reports Physical Science, highlight the potential of this technology to improve the lives of those with photosensitive epilepsy.
A new breakthrough may help scientists solve some of the mysteries of the quantum realm.
For the first time, physicists have been able to measure the geometrical ‘shape’ a lone electron adopts as it moves through a solid. It’s an achievement that will unlock a whole new way of studying how crystalline solids behave on a quantum level.
“We’ve essentially developed a blueprint for obtaining some completely new information that couldn’t be obtained before,” says physicist Riccardo Comin of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Scientists at the University of Alberta found a new way to improve plant-based foods, and it involves plasma, the same stuff that makes up stars, as reported by Phys.org.
The breakthrough makes 3D-printed pea protein hold its shape, opening doors for more affordable and tasty meat alternatives.
Pea protein is already in many foods we eat, from bread to dairy-free milk to meatless burgers. It’s cheap and packed with nutrients, but until now, it wouldn’t keep its shape when pushed through a 3D printer, limiting its use in food production.
The University of Science and Technology of China has achieved a significant milestone in quantum memory research, addressing a long-standing challenge in integrated solid-state devices. The team, led by Chuan-Feng Li and Zong-Quan Zhou, has demonstrated an integrated spin-wave quantum memory capable of extended storage times and on-demand retrieval. This development marks a critical step toward scalable quantum networks.
Quantum memories play a pivotal role in enabling long-distance entanglement by linking short-distance connections, overcoming photon transmission losses. Rare-earth ions doped crystals have emerged as promising systems for quantum memory, with integrated solid-state devices showing particular potential. However, prior implementations were limited to optically excited states, which inherently restrict storage time and retrieval flexibility due to the short lifetime of these states.
The breakthrough lies in the implementation of spin-wave storage. This approach encodes photons into spin-wave excitations in ground states, vastly extending storage times to the spin coherence lifetime and enabling on-demand retrieval. Nevertheless, the challenge of separating single-photon signals from noise caused by strong control pulses has hindered progress in integrated structures — until now.
NASA’s nuclear propulsion breakthrough promises Mars trips in 45 days. Combining nuclear and plasma systems boosts efficiency, safety, and interplanetary mission success.
Scientists developed a heterojunction-gated field-effect transistor (HGFET) that achieves high sensitivity in short-wave infrared detection.
Mount Sinai researchers discovered that harmine, a beta cell regenerative drug, may transform alpha cells into beta cells, offering scalable diabetes treatment options for millions.
Researchers and bioinformaticians at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have unveiled new insights into the mechanisms behind human beta cell regenerative drugs, offering a potential breakthrough for the over 500 million people worldwide living with diabetes. These findings, recently published in Cell Reports Medicine, could mark a significant step forward in diabetes treatment.
Diabetes occurs when pancreatic beta cells lose their ability to produce insulin, a hormone critical for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Despite significant advancements, there are still no widely scalable therapeutic solutions capable of addressing the global diabetes crisis.
