Machine Learning at the Quantum Lab
Scientists' machine-learning approach reduces qubit measuring time and the number of measurements by a factor of approximately four in comparison with conventional data acquisition
Heterogeneity in the Workplace: 'Diversity Is Very Important to Us—but Not in My Team'
Building on current theories, researchers show that doubts about the practicability of diversity have a greater weight if a person is directly affected
Cryo-Force Spectroscopy Reveals the Mechanical Properties of DNA Components
DNA is not only a popular research topic because it contains the blueprint for life—it can also be used to produce tiny components for technical applications
Lab-on-a-Chip for Tracking Single Bacterial Cells
A novel lab-on-a-chip can be used to study gene regulation in single bacterial cells in response to dynamically controlled environmental changes
Bacteria Acquire Resistance From Competitors
Bacteria not only develop resistance to antibiotics, they also can pick it up from their rivals
Immune Defense Without Collateral Damage
In combating bacterial infections, the enzyme myeloperoxidase acts like a sniper: Equipped with highly explosive ammunition, it targets extremely precisely, without causing collateral damage to their surroundings
