Scientists Discover Circuit Boards Inside Cells
Unlike a fixed circuit board, however, cells can rapidly rewire their communication networks to change their behaviour.Cell-wide webThe discovery of this cell-wide web turns our understanding of how instructions spread around a cell on its head.It was thought that the various organs and structures inside a cell float around in an open sea called the cytoplasm.Signals that tell the cell what to do were thought to be transmitted in waves and the frequency of the waves was the crucial part of the message.NanoscaleResearchers at the University of Edinburgh found information is carried across a web of guide wires that transmit signals across tiny, nanoscale distances.It is the movement of charged molecules across these tiny distances that transmit information, just as ...

Quantum Computing Boost from Vapour Stabilising Technique
A technique to stabilise alkali metal vapour density using gold nanoparticles, so electrons can be accessed for applications including quantum computing, atom cooling and precision measurements, has been patented by scientists at the University of Bath.Alkali metal vapours, including lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium, allow scientists to access individual electrons, due to the presence of a single electron in the outer ‘shell’ of alkali metals.This has great potential for a range of applications, including logic operations, storage and sensing in quantum computing, as well as in ultra-precise time measurements with atomic clocks, or in medical diagnostics including cardiograms and encephalograms.However, a serious technical obstacle has been reliably controlling the pressure of the vapour within an enclosed space, for instance ...
