Blissfully sick…
While disease activity improves over time for most rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, long-term outcomes only improve in RA patients with autoantibodies, according to a new study. The findings add to a growing body of evidence that RA with and without autoantibodies are two distinct conditions. (1) Complicated beings humans are. Troubled by complicated diseases. Diseases…

Everything interacting…
Keeping qubits stable – those quantum equivalents of classic computing bits – will be key to realizing the potential of quantum computing. Now scientists have found a new obstacle to this stability: natural radiation. It’s around us all the time, and so this poses something of a problem for future quantum computers. Through a series…

Primitive. Simple. Advanced. Complex.
Scientists have developed a new approach for generating layered, difficult-to-combine, heterostructured solids (materials composed of layers of dissimilar building blocks), opening new avenues for electronic and energy applications. The technique for making them is simple, and counterintuitive — it involves smashing the pristine materials to build new ones. Smashing things together by milling seems like…

Philosophy snapshot: Everything?
Sitting for a quick coffee… Random thoughts. (Could anything get closer to the truth?) What is everything? If not something and nothing together?

Limits of measurements… Limits of out self…
The limits of classical measurements of mechanical motion have been pushed beyond expectations in recent years. But the sensitivity that we can achieve using purely conventional means is limited. For example, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics implies the presence of “measurement backaction”: the exact knowledge of the location of a particle invariably destroys any…
