All Posts Sep 27 Machine learning contributes to better quantum error correction by jens wilkinson | Hot Off the Press Researchers have developed an autonomous method for handling error correction in quantum computing. This will help quantum computers maintain their advantages over standard computers. Sep 20 Laser melting ice-core sampler for studying climate change by adam phillips | Hot Off the Press This laser melting ice core sampler can determine temperature changes thousands of years ago on very fine timescale. Aug 31 Gut bacteria reduces insulin resistance, protects against diabetes by adam phillips | Hot Off the Press Scientists discover gut bacteria that reduce insulin resistance in your body and sugar in your poo. Aug 23 Scary places burned into our minds by constant memory replay by riken research highlights | Research Highlight Researchers discover the mechanism through which places associated with negative experiences are burned into our memories. Aug 18 Toward human hibernation: cold-resistant mouse stem cells by adam phillips | Hot Off the Press Cold-resistant stem cells from “deep torpor” mice are a big step toward understanding why tissue survives hibernation. Aug 15 A researcher’s journey part 2: emotional memory and being human by adam phillips | Interviews Joshua Johansen from RIKEN CBS explains emotional memory, what his lab is doing, and what makes a good researcher. Aug 8 Mathematical model predicts self-organized learning in real neurons by adam phillips | Hot Off the Press The free energy principle predicted how real neural connections changed as neurons “learned” in a dish.
