9 Everyday Foods Associated with Increased Cancer Risk

In today's fast-paced world, dietary habits often revolve around convenience and taste. However, several commonly consumed foods may contribute to an increased risk of cancer. Understanding these potential risks can aid in making informed choices about daily dietary intake. 1. Processed Meats: Processed meats like bacon, sausage, and deli meats contain nitrates and nitrites, compounds used as preservatives. When these meats are cooked at high temperatures, these chemicals can convert into carcinogenic nitrosamines, linked to an elevated risk of colorectal cancer. 2. Sugary Beverages: Sodas, energy drinks, and certain fruit juices often contain high amounts of added sugars. Regular consumption of these beverages not only contributes to obesity and diabetes but also increases the risk of certain cancers, including pancreatic cancer and breast cancer. 3. Charred or Grilled Foods: Cooking meat, poultry, or fish at high temperatures and charring them produces heterocyclic am...

Innovative New Algorithms Advance the Computing Power of Early-Stage Quantum Computers

 

A group of scientists in the EME laboratory at the United States Ministry of Energy has developed computational quantum algorithms that are capable of effectively and highly precise modeling of static and dynamic properties of quantum systems. Algorithms are valuable tools to obtain a greater vision of physics and chemistry of complex materials and are specifically designed to work on existing and closed quantum computers.

Scientist Yun-Xin Yao and his research partners in AMES laboratories use the power of advanced computers to accelerate the discovery in the physics of a condensed substance, simulating an incredibly complex quantum mechanics and how they change over ultra fast temporary scales. High-performance current computers can simulate the properties of small and very simple quantum systems, but larger or more complex systems will quickly expand the number of calculations that the computer must be performed to achieve an accurate model that slows down the rhythm not only the calculation, but also the opening.

"This is a real task, given the current early stage of existing quantum computing," Yao said, "but it is also a very promising possibility, since these calculations suppress classic computer systems or too much time to ensure timely answers."

New algorithms use the possibilities of existing quantum features of computers, creating an adaptive computer, and then adapting the number and variety of "educated categories", the computer should do to describe with the lowest state and the evolution of the quantum mechanics of the system failure algorithms, which makes them capable of modeling An even large systems with accuracy with current quantum "noisy" (fragile and inclined to errors), as well as its iterations close to the future.

"Excellent modeling, rotation and molecular systems is only the first part of the target," said Yao, "We see in the appendix that it is used to solve problems of complex material sciences. With the capabilities of these two procedures, we can direct experimenters in their efforts to control the properties of materials, such as magnetism, superconductivity, chemical reactions, and photography conversion.

"Our long-term goal is to achieve a" quantum advantage "for materials: use quantum calculations to achieve opportunities that cannot be achieved on any supercomputer today," said the laboratory of AMES Peter Orth laboratory

This topic is discussed even more in two documents: (1) "Adaptive variate quantum modeling dynamics", authorized Y.-X. Yao, N. Gomez, F. Zhang, C.-Z. Van, K.-M. Ho, T. Idekola and P. P. ort; and published in PRX Quantum; (2) "The non-profit evolution of the primary evolution of the current adaptive variation for the preparation of the MERRO state" authorized by N. Gomes, A. Mukherjee, F. Zhang, T. Idekol, C.-Z. Van, K.-M. Ho, P. P. Orth, A.-X. Yao; Adopted in advanced quantum technologies.

The AMES laboratory is the energy department of the National Scientific Laboratory Energy Guided by State University of Iowa. The AMES laboratory creates innovative materials, technologies and energy solutions. We use our experience, unique opportunities and interdisciplinary joint cooperation to solve global problems.

The AMES laboratory is supported by the scientific activities of the United States Ministry of Energy. The scientific office is the largest supporter of basic research in the field of physical sciences of the United States and is working to solve some of the most pressing tasks of our time.
