Male sperm whales produce loudest communication sounds ever measured in any mammal
Deep in the world's oceans, large male sperm whales emit slow, low-frequency clicks with the highest source levels of any animal communication sounds. These slow clicks are not the echolocation clicks the whales use to locate prey, but loud, low-frequency communication signals.
Two-qubit entangling gate flags its own errors as detectable photon losses
Quantum errors are a normal part of quantum computing because fragile physical qubits (the tiny components storing data) can easily break down because of environmental noise, like heat, stray signals or microscopic vibrations. Typical fixes involve vast amounts of extra hardware
Sweat, brain signals, eye movements and AI used to detect depression and suicide risk
Suicide rates in the U.S. have been rising at an alarming rate over the past few decades, with rates among veterans 1.5 times higher than those of the general public, USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work's study shows.
Soluble signals released by neighboring cells direct how the human kidney is built
A human kidney is built once, before birth, and the rules guiding its construction have been largely inferred from animal models. Researchers at Penn Medicine have now read those rules directly in human tissue. They found that developing cells are steered by soluble signals relea
New imaging technique reveals how scar tissue disrupts the heartbeat
When a heart attack damages the heart, the injured muscle is replaced by scar tissue. That scar can interfere with the electrical signals that coordinate each heartbeat, increasing the risk of dangerous rhythm disorders known as arrhythmias.
Brain turns listening inward during REM sleep, EEG recordings suggest
Sleep does not isolate the brain from the world—rather, it affects how the brain balances the processing of different types of sensory information. A Swiss study shows that as we drift off to REM sleep, signals from the outside world gradually decrease while those coming from our
'Spooky' particles transit DC suburbs, a step toward a quantum network
In early 2025, special signals wended their way through a fiber-optic highway strung above the streets and sidewalks of the Maryland suburbs. The arrival of those signals at their destination marks a significant step toward a long-held dream of building a "quantum network." Resea
Little-known protein helps the body restrain scar-forming signals
U.K. and U.S. scientists have uncovered an important piece of the puzzle in the signaling pathway that causes damaging scar tissue to build up in the body, raising hopes for future treatments. A team from the University of Manchester and University of Connecticut have revealed ho

Labour must stop just writing a cheque for benefit claimants, says McFadden
Exclusive: Work and pensions secretary signals possible reform to welfare as ministers await key reviewsLabour must stop “simply writing a cheque” for health and disability benefit claimants and will provide more job support instead, the work and pensions secretary has said.Pat McFadden said the government was preparing to launch a renewed effort at welfare reform with a focus on encouraging more people with health conditions to get into work and off benefits.
