But their immune systems may have learned a few survival tricks when they mated with the locals – the mysterious Denisovans who gave them immune gene variants that could have protected the newcomers’ …

Artistic representation of Majorana edge modes on a string of superconducting qubits. Credit: Google Quantum AI Google Quantum AI physicists have used their quantum computer to study an efficient type of particle that is more resilient to environmental disturbances that can degrade quantum computations. These effective particles, known as Majorana edge modes, form as a …

How and when did the stars in the Universe form? The Terzan 5 cluster contains many older, lower-mass stars (faint and in red), but also hotter, younger, higher-mass stars, some of which will generate iron and even heavier elements. It contains a mixture of Population I and Population II stars, indicating that this cluster has …
