The linking of two distant qubits will help to develop larger, more complex quantum computers based on silicon quantum dots
A large case-control study by international researchers at the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) in Japan has found that people who carry certain genetic risk factors for gastric (stomach) cancer have a much greater risk if they have also been infected by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori.
Nuclear physicists have made the most neutron-rich form of sodium yet, which will help reveal more about the complex world of nuclei.
Molecular modeling suggests structural consequences of an early protein mutation that promoted viral transmission
Scientists have more accurately constrained the composition of the Earth’s core by performing sound-velocity measurements at double the pressure of previous ones
The origins of organic molecules that may create suitable ingredients for the birth of life are beginning to be revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope
Efforts to develop fertilizers that help plants gather iron from widespread alkaline soils are set to benefit from insights into molecular structure
The mechanism by which stem cells pass on their ability to change into other kinds of cells to the next generation has been uncovered
Measurements on neutron-rich nuclei help to refine models of how heavy elements came into existence

A safe and effective drug against a parasitic amoeba could come from a new approach that exploits the parasite’s need for iron
Scientists from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research have used computer modeling to show how a hypothesized type of supernova would evolve on the scale of thousands of years, giving researchers a way to look for examples of supernovae of this model, known as “D6.”
The third type of stem cells that make up the precursors of mouse embryos has been established for the first time
Simply turning up the heat can boost the regeneration of cuttings of thale cress
A fluorescence microscopy study shows how amyloid fibrils in yeast are dismantled
The Evolutionary Morphology Laboratory led by Shigeru Kuratani at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) in Japan, along with collaborators has found evidence that the mysterious ancient fish-like vertebrate Palaeospondylus was likely one of the earliest ancestors of four-limbed animals, including humans.
