Exotic phase of matter realized on quantum processor

Phases of matter are the basic states that matter can take—like water that can occur in a liquid or ice phase. Traditionally, these phases are defined under equilibrium conditions, where the system is stable over time. But nature allows for stranger possibilities: new phases that emerge only when a system is driven out of equilibrium. […]

NYPD probing terror threat for bridges and tunnels linking Queens and Manhattan

“Out of an abundance of caution we are surging resources,” Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. “And you can expect to see an increase in police presence at critical infrastructure locations”

The Secrets of ‘Enki’—the creator of the human civilization

Enki (“En” Lord, “ki” Earth), or Ea (“E” Temple, “A” Water) is one of the three most important gods of Mesopotamian culture. He is the god of wisdom, lord of magic, construction, arts, design, and creation.

Enki has been interpreted as The Lord of Earth; He was the stepbrother of the god Enlil, and […]

Police seize 23 guns from home of 13-year-old who appeared to idolize mass shooters

Rifles, handguns and AR-style magazines that had writing on them referencing mass shootings were unsecured in the home, according to the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office

Why tiny droplets stick or bounce: The physics of speed and size

When a droplet of liquid the size of a grain of icing sugar hits a water-repelling surface, like plastics or certain plant leaves, it can meet one of two fates: stick or bounce. Until now, scientists thought bouncing depended only on how repellent the surface was and how the droplet lost its impact energy. Speed, […]

Measuring electron pulses for future compact ultra-bright X-ray sources

In a step toward making ultra-bright X-ray sources more widely available, an international collaboration led by the University of Michigan—with experiments at the U.K.’s Central Laser Facility—has mapped key aspects of electron pulses that can go on to generate laser-like X-ray pulses.

Discovery of young eclipsing binary system offers insight into early stellar evolution

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new pre-main-sequence eclipsing binary system. The newfound binary, designated MML 48, consists of two young low-mass stars. The finding will be published in the upcoming issue of the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal.

A Physicist has discovered the secret about the Pyramids—and it will change the world

YouTube Video Here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/fDWmQCAr7bE?feature=oembed&enablejsapi=1

When we talk a bout Pyramids everyone immediately turns their thoughts to Egypt, the Giza plateau and the three pyramids standing tall just outside of Cairo.

However, did you know that there are more than 1000 pyramids in Central America alone? There are 300 Pyramids in China and over 200 […]

A hungry star is eating its cosmic twin at a rate never seen before

A greedy white dwarf star not far from Earth is devouring its closest celestial companion at a rate never seen before, space scientists have discovered. Their study found the double star, named V Sagittae, is burning unusually bright as the super-dense white dwarf is gorging on its larger twin in a feeding frenzy.

AI tool helps astronomers find supernovae in a sky full of noise

A new AI-powered tool has reduced astronomers’ workload by 85%—filtering through thousands of data alerts to identify the few genuine signals caused by supernovae (powerful explosions from dying stars). The findings are published in The Astrophysical Journal.

Achieving low resistance and high performance in magnetic tunnel junctions using high-entropy oxides

A NIMS research team has developed a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) featuring a tunnel barrier made of a high-entropy oxide composed of multiple metallic elements. This MTJ simultaneously demonstrated stronger perpendicular magnetization, a higher tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio (i.e., the relative change in electrical resistance when the magnetization directions of the two ferromagnetic layers switch […]

Scientist returns to microbial roots and discovers potential quantum computing advancement

During his Ph.D. at UMass, Nikhil Malvankar was laser-focused on quantum mechanics and the movement of electrons in superconductors. Now a professor at Yale, the native of Mumbai, India, has pivoted toward biology to explain how bacteria breathe deep underground without the aid of oxygen.

One extremophile eats Martian dirt, survives in space and can create oxygen for colonies

Extremophiles are a favorite tool of astrobiologists. But not only are they good for understanding the kind of extreme environments that life can survive in, sometimes they are useful as actual tools, creating materials necessary for other life, like oxygen, in those extreme environments. A recent paper from Daniella Billi of the University of Rome […]
