Drosophila melanogaster courtship song may be key to controlling mosquitoes
Credit: CC0 Public Domain How fruit flies mate may be key to limiting the spread of disease by mosquitoes. In a new study, researchers at the University of Iowa have discovered a gene that regulates antennae movement in female fruit flies. This gene plays an important role in allowing fruit flies to detect the unique sounds made by male potential…

Controlling light while measuring trapped ion qubits
AQM characterization scheme. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-50864-2 Quantum information is fragile and often difficult to protect during experiments. Protecting qubits from accidental measurements is essential for performing controlled quantum operations, especially when protocols such as quantum error correction involve measurements or resets that corrupt the state of neighboring qubits. Current methods for protecting atomic qubits from disturbances waste…
