A team led by researchers at the University of Tokyo have created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to be conducted on previously difficult-to-study regions. Using a new data-assimilation system called JAGUAR-DAS, which combines numerical modeling with observational data, the team created a nearly 20-yearlong set of data spanning multiple levels of the atmosphere from ground level up to the lower edges of space. Being able to study the interactions of these layers vertically and around the globe could improve climate modeling and seasonal weather forecasting. There is also potential for interdisciplinary research between atmospheric scientists and space scientists, to investigate the interplay between space and our atmosphere and how it affects us on Earth.  

A team of researchers from The University of Texas at El Paso, led by Sudip Bajpeyi, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Kinesiology, discovered that combining neuromuscular electrical stimulation with resistance training results in greater muscle mass and strength compared to resistance training alone.

The EQUSPACE consortium (Enabling New Quantum Frontiers with Spin Acoustics in Silicon) has received 3.2 million euros from the European Innovation Council's (EIC) Pathfinder Open funding program to advance the development of silicon-based quantum technologies. In addition to the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), the project brings together four other partners from three EU countries and convenes experts from the fields of spin qubits, optomechanics and atomic silicon modifications to develop a novel silicon-based quantum platform.

A new technique can reset bits in quantum computers highly effectively, a critical task for successful quantum computing. The technique uses heat flow between different sections of a refrigerator to reset these “qubits,” the first time this method has been harnessed for a practical purpose. This method could lead to more reliable, less error-prone quantum computers.
