The future quantum computers should be capable of super-fast and reliable computation. Today, this is still a major challenge. Now, computer scientists conduct an early exploration for reliable quantum machine learning.

Researchers have discovered a new electronic property at the frontier between the thermal and quantum sciences in a specially engineered metal alloy -- and in the process identified a promising material for future devices that could turn heat on and off with the application of a magnetic 'switch.'

In network science, the famous 'friendship paradox' describes why your friends are (on average) more popular, richer, and more attractive than you are. But a slightly more nuanced picture emerges when we apply mathematics to real-world data.

Researchers have developed a gene switch that can be operated with the green LED light emitted by commercial smartwatches. This revolutionary approach could be used to treat diabetes in the future.
