Bismuth’s mask uncovered: Implications for quantum computing and spintronics materials

Kobe University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Whether bismuth is part of a class of materials highly suitable for quantum computing and spintronics was a long-standing issue. Kobe University research has now revealed that the true nature of bismuth was masked by its surface, and in doing so uncovered a new phenomenon relevant to all such materials.

The effect of physical fitness on mortality is overestimated

Uppsala University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

That fit people have a reduced risk of premature death from various diseases is a recurring result in many studies. New research from Uppsala University shows that people with high fitness levels in their late teens also have a reduced risk of dying from random accidents. This suggests that the associations seen in previous studies have probably been misleading.

Quantum simulation of chemical dynamics achieved for the first time using Sydney quantum computer

University of Sydney
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Creating new drugs or medical treatments are some of the great promises of quantum computing. Scientists at the University of Sydney have for the first time used a quantum computer to simulate the chemical dynamics of real compounds, a vital step towards modelling more complex molecules and designing bespoke chemicals that could lead to improved sunscreen or skin cancer treatments.

The key to spotting dyslexia early could be AI-powered handwriting analysis

University at Buffalo
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new University at Buffalo-led study outlines how artificial intelligence-powered handwriting analysis may serve as an early detection tool for dyslexia and dysgraphia among young children.

New insights into black hole scattering and gravitational waves unveiled

Queen Mary University of London
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study achieves unprecedented accuracy in modelling extreme cosmic events like black hole and neutron star collisions by calculating the fifth post-Minkowskian (5PM) order, crucial for interpreting gravitational wave data from current and future observatories.

The research reveals the surprising appearance of Calabi-Yau three-fold periods – complex geometric structures from string theory and algebraic geometry – within calculations of radiated energy and recoil, suggesting a deep connection between abstract mathematics and astrophysical phenomena.

Utilising over 300,000 core hours of high-performance computing, an international team demonstrated the power of advanced computational methods in solving complex equations governing black hole interactions, paving the way for more accurate gravitational wave templates and insights into galaxy formation.
