Most Iconic Radio Telescope Ever Gone For Good, Says US Government
The National Science Foundation announced last week that it would not rebuild or replace the iconic Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, which collapsed in 2020. Instead, the NSF says it has launched…
Twinning in Pb nanocrystals via interchange motion movements
Nanomesh materials have been widely studied over the past decade following the discovery of their much higher hardness and strength than their twinless counterparts. Despite the frequent encounter of twins in nanocrystals…
It’s Not Science Fiction: Methane-Eating “Borgs” Have Assimilated Earth’s Microbes
A digital illustration inspired by the methane-eating Archaea and the Borg who assimilate them. Credit: Jenny Nuss/Berkeley Lab A new type of transferable transfer DNA DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule…
New method exposes how artificial intelligence works
The new approach allows scientists to better understand the behavior of neural networks. Neural networks are harder to fool through adversarial training. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a new…
The James Webb Space Telescope demonstrates human curiosity
Listen to this article The James Webb Space Telescope (gallery under the article) bears witness to human curiosity. Curiosity is a trait of our species that has driven us not just to…
Gone is the Big Rip, Pillars of Creation by JWST, Greatest Gamma Ray Burst Ever
The Pillars of Creation Revealed by JWST. It looks like Big Rip isn’t happening after all. Black holes transforming spacetime into nodes. Jets that seem to go faster than the speed of…
Ponderomotive forces in the system of two nanoparticles – Scientific Reports
Consider the system of two nanoparticles of different sizes. The largest nanoparticle consists of a nucleus and a shell. The axis of symmetry of the OZ system connects the centers of the…
“Marshmallow” world discovered: giant, fluffy planet orbiting a red dwarf star
Artist’s impression of an ultra fluffy gas giant planet orbiting a red dwarf star. A gas giant exoplanet [right] with the density of a marshmallow was detected orbiting a cool red dwarf…
Scientists have managed to combine two of the most frightening features of quantum mechanics
To create a more efficient quantum sensor, a team of JILA researchers has, for the first time, merged two of the most “frightening” aspects of quantum mechanics: the entanglement between atoms and…
