DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.223601 Researchers have developed a new method to significantly improve the performance of quantum technology by using the cross-correlation of two noise sources to extend coherence … Read more

Scientists unravel the 2,000-year-old shipworm mystery: the world’s most destructive mollusk

SciTechDaily

New research has found that shipworms digest wood using symbiotic microbes in their guts, a discovery that overturns previous insights and has significant implications for biotechnology and environmental modeling. A cross-section of Belfast dock pilings, riddled with shipwormholes.
