Researchers have made a major advance in quantum computing with a new device that is nearly 100 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
Published in the journal Nature Communications, the breakthrough optical phase modulators could help unlock much larger quantum computers by enabling efficient control of lasers required to operate thousands or even millions of qubits—the basic units of quantum information.
Critically, the team of scientists have developed these devices using scalable manufacturing, avoiding complex, custom builds in favor of those used to make the same technology behind processors already found in computers, phones, vehicles, home appliances—virtually everything powered by electricity (even toasters).
Here, Conny Gysemans & team find variable patient responses align with specific immune gene signatures, offering a tool to predict treatment success or resistance.

Harmeet Malhi & team discover ER-stress mediated S100A11 upregulation drives progression of fatty liver disease, revealing a new target for future treatments:
The figure shows reduction within the high-fat,-fructose, and-cholesterol,-lipotoxicity-influenced enhancer (FFC-LIE) mouse groups compared with FFC-scramble controls.

Integrated circuits are the brains behind modern electronic devices like computers or smart phones. Traditionally, these circuits—also known as chips—rely on electricity to process data. In recent years, scientists have turned their attention to photonic chips, which perform similar tasks using light instead of electricity to improve speed and energy efficiency.
