Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
ABAA! – Alternating-Bias Assisted Annealing of Amorphous Oxide Tunnel Junctions
Rigetti’s novel technique, Alternating-Bias Assisted Annealing (ABAA), allows for more precise qubit frequency targeting, enabling improved execution of 2-qubit gates and a reduction in defects, which both contribute to higher fidelity.
Pregnancy tracking with wearables
Pregnancies are often only tracked every couple of weeks at best, and have historically been understudied. Using wearable devices, people can measure and even share their pregnancy experiences anywhere in high resolution. Communities can fill historical oversights for research and for empowerment.
Predicting spinel oxides electrical conductivity
This post was written by Yuval Elbaz and Maytal Caspary Toroker.
A unified model for interpretable latent embedding of multi-sample, multi-condition single-cell data
The advent of single-cell technologies has allowed us not only to generate comprehensive atlases of cell types in their 'normal' states, but also to understand how these cells change under various conditions. Here, we introduce GEDI, a framework to enable the analysis of these datasets.
A high-resolution large-area detector for quality assurance in radiotherapy
This paper discusses the design, fabrication and performance tests of a detector based on Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) coupled to a matrix of thin-film transistors (TFT).
