Harvard scientists have developed a new method to protect quantum information using microscopic mechanical waves, which has tripled the coherence time of qubits. This approach opens up new possibilities for creating more compact and reliable quantum systems.
Despite the abundance of anti-snoring remedies, their effectiveness is often limited due to a lack of understanding of the mechanics behind this phenomenon. Physicists have developed a 3D model of the airways to study the causes of loud snoring and to explore new approaches to treatment.
A new study has shown that closing your eyes does not help you better distinguish faint sounds in a noisy environment. On the contrary, visual cues—especially dynamic ones—actually improve how we perceive sounds.
