Scientists at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona have uncovered a way to enhance visual working memory through sensory stimulation with sounds and images. Published in Communications Psychology, the study demonstrates that short-term visual memory—vital for tasks like object comparison and puzzle-solving—can be significantly improved by modulating

Quantum dots—tiny structures that confine charge carriers—are driving transformative advances in quantum computing. While materials like gallium arsenide and silicon have traditionally led the field, researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have uncovered surprising potential in zinc oxide, a material celebrated for its strong electron correlations

American scientists are raising concerns about dynamic changes within Earth’s core that could have far-reaching consequences for the planet’s stability. These processes, while still under investigation, may influence Earth’s rotational dynamics and contribute to geophysical phenomena with potentially severe environmental and societal impacts.
