A method for making quantum computers less error-prone could let them run complex programs such as simulations of materials more efficiently, thus making them more useful ...

Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, together with partners from Sydney and Waterloo, have presented a new diagnostic ...

A common type of error-correcting mechanism in biology is called kinetic proofreading. For example, if errors turn up when cells are making new DNA, enzymes can cut out incorrect nucleotides. They can ...

This important study demonstrates that a peri-nuclear actomyosin network, present in some types of human cells, facilitates kinetochore-spindle attachment of chromosomes in unfavorable locations - ...
