A new study by Penn State University finds that colugos, also known as flying lemurs, are the closest living relatives of primates. The researchers used molecular and genomic data to analyze the evolutionary relationships among three groups: primates, colugos, and tree shrews.
The upgraded system increases computing power by a factor of five, enabling researchers to explore complex systems at unprecedented scale and speed. With this boost, Argonne's leadership in petascale computing is solidified, paving the way for breakthroughs in materials research, medicine, and other fields.
Scientists successfully rotate single electron's spin using electric fields, a crucial step for future quantum computing. This breakthrough clears the path for a more powerful and efficient quantum computer.
Researchers used computer simulations to show how electrons become one thousand times more massive in certain metal compounds at extremely low temperatures. This finding may provide new clues for understanding superconductivity and fabricating new superconducting materials.
