The yarns made of seaweed, shrimp shells and gelatin concocted in the Hybrid Body Lab seemed to have serious defects. When exposed to water, the seaweed yarn swelled, the shrimp-shell yarn elongated in acidic conditions and the gelatin yarn disintegrated altogether.

Quantum computers have the potential to perform calculations more quickly than supercomputers, but they could be even faster and more energy-efficient if they were built with photons as their basic units, called qubits.

Nearly a third of adults in the U.S. do not get enough sleep. A recent surge in attention to this issue raises serious concerns about its long-term health implications, and new research suggests that it can lead to hazardous outcomes, especially in the context of

As the engines of artificial intelligence, large data centers can consume as much power as medium-sized cities, straining grids and prompting expensive upgrades to U.S. energy infrastructure.
