Rutgers and IBM researchers repeatedly measured and reset up to 100 qubits on a 156-qubit chip to bring a chaotic system under control. The Nature Physics study is among the largest real-time feedback-control demonstrations to date, a capability future fault-tolerant machines will need.
Reality
Rutgers and IBM researchers reset qubits almost 5,000 times mid-calculation to push a 100-qubit chain from chaos into order. Present-day hardware can run the repeated loop that error correction depends on, though the demonstration stops short of a fault-tolerant machine.
Reality
Rutgers-led physics models of four mosasaur skeletons find Platecarpus and Tylosaurus lunged faster for their size than Mosasaurus and Plotosaurus. Most of that gap comes from how far each tail could curl, so the split in hunting styles is an inference drawn from anatomy.
Reality
Wild orangutan mothers travel farther around the days their infants play with peers, according to a 15-year study of 31 mother-infant pairs in Borneo. The researchers say solitary life leaves mothers supplying social contact on top of food and safety.
Reality
Rutgers lab tests found a yeast left by common fruit flies repels the spotted-wing drosophila and cuts its egg-laying. It gives blueberry growers a lead on a control that is not an insecticide, though field trials have not yet been run.
Reality
Researchers writing in Nature Geoscience give at least 89% odds that the strictest Paris path costs Antarctica less ice by 2100 than very high emissions. For coastal planners, that puts part of Antarctica's future contribution to sea level within reach of emissions policy.
Reality
Researchers who followed 23 North Korean defector founders in South Korea for 27 months found hiring and branding tracked how each handled outsider status. The study is small and qualitative, so it maps the choices founders made without showing which approach kept a business going.
Reality
Rutgers researchers found that 97% of the 175,000 comments on the FDA's proposed menthol ban were form letters, with only 2% unique. The Biden administration later cited that response when it postponed the rule, and the study shows how little of it was independent.
Reality
Mosquito surveillance usually means trapping insects, sorting them by species and grinding them into pools. A Rutgers group sequenced the droppings instead and pulled a complete West Nile genome from 50 insects.
Reality
A Rutgers, NORC and New Hampshire team asked young people what they actually did after encountering a gun danger, and the answers point at what prevention programs teach rather than at whether anyone is willing to act.
Reality
The claim is doing procedural work in a discovery fight, but it lands on any company whose staff have wired an agent to a file store, because the available remedy depends on where the data went and the record does not yet say.
Reality
A stock purchase plan arriving late in 2027 and reshuffled medical plans follow a year of layoffs. What the equity is worth depends on a share price down 8% over the year.
Reality
North Carolina, Wisconsin, Louisiana and Connecticut are routing tax dollars and betting revenue into athletic budgets. The federal bill meant to impose guardrails does not restrain them.
Reality
A Rutgers-led study of 122 people found synaptic loss that follows the brain's chemistry and wiring, not a diffuse smear, and modelling points to a left frontal starting point.
Reality
A Rutgers-led analysis of a National Guard trial found a brief storage conversation more than doubled openness to out-of-home storage among owners who had rejected it outright.
