World’s largest quantum array hits 6,100 qubits at 99.98% accuracy
Quantum computers need vast numbers of qubits to solve the hardest problems in science and technology. Unlike classical bits, qubits can exist in two states at once, a property called superposition.
This allows powerful new kinds of…

Non-muscle myosin II-dependent cumulus cell migration at ovulation is required for sperm to reach the egg in mice
We began by collecting COCs from large antral follicles of eCG-primed mice and incubating them in medium supplemented with EGF to induce expansion. After 4 h of incubation, no change in the volume of the COCs was apparent, as assessed by…
