Understanding what happens inside a material when it is hit by ultrashort light pulses is one of the great challenges of matter physics and modern photonics. A new study published in Nature Photonics and led by Politecnico di Milano reveals a hitherto neglected but essential aspect, precisely the contribution of virtual charges, charge carriers that exist only during interaction with light, but which profoundly influence the material’s response.
It is anticipated that within just a few decades, the surging volume of digital data will constitute one of the world’s largest energy consumers. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have made a breakthrough that could shift the paradigm: an atomically thin material that enables two opposing magnetic forces to coexist—dramatically reducing energy consumption in memory devices by a factor of 10.
A research team from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the failure mechanism of diamond under extreme electrical fields through in situ experiments and molecular dynamics simulations. The study, published in Cell Reports Physical Science, provides critical insights for the design of robust diamond devices.
Plasma is a state of matter that emerges when a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, prompting some electrons to become free from atoms. This state of matter has been the focus of many astrophysical studies, as predictions suggest that it would be found in the proximity of various cosmological objects, including pulsars and black holes.
A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial.

In fact, it’s not a smartphone, its just evidence how we interpret art differently in today’s modern society. When you look at the painting it immediately strikes you: A woman staring at a smartphone while walking, a scene not too unfamiliar with today’s way of life. However, despite the fact that many people would find that this scene shows what seems to be a smartphone, the truth is that this is ONLY evidence of how technology changes our interpretation of art. And no, it is not time travel, and she’s not holding a smartphone, I mean, after all, reception in 1860 would have been a pain in the ass, right? How many of us have walked along the street, firmly grasping our precious piece of technology while sending texts or watching YouTube videos? The scene depicted in this 19th-century Waldmuller painting seems to show the exact same thing, but… smartphones didn’t exist in 1980, did they? The truth is no, they did not, but as noted by retired Glasgow local government officer Peter Russell who spotted the scene at the Neue Pinakothek museum in Munich:
“What strikes me most is how much a change in technology has changed the interpretation of the painting, and in a way, has leveraged its entire context. The big change is that in 1850 or 1860, every single viewer would have identified the item that the girl is absorbed in as a hymnal or prayer book. Today, no one could fail to see the resemblance to the scene of a teenage girl absorbed in social media on their smartphone.”  The painting is believed to have been created sometime between 1850—1890 by Austrian artist Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller. It’s called ‘The Expected One’ and shows a woman walking down a rocky path towards a kneeling man, with a flower in his hand, ‘expecting’ the young woman. The young lady is illustrated firmly grasping a small rectangular object—strikingly similar to a modern-day smartphone.  However, despite the fact that some may find a similarity between the object held by the young woman and a modern-day smartphone, the truth is that it isn’t a technological gadget but rather a hymnbook. The painting is evidence that today’s society, which is engulfed by technological gadgets sees art in a different way than people 20, 30 or 50 years ago. Had you shown this scene to someone 50 years ago, you would have never obtained an answer saying: “oh look that must be some sort of futuristic artifact…”, but rather; “…she’s holding a hymnbook or a bible…” This isn’t the first time we’ve gotten confused when looking at ancient paintings. Not long ago, we wrote about a painting depicting a scene from the 17th century, where a Native American man is portrayed holding in his hand a device that according to many is eerily similar to a modern-day Smartphone. Speaking about the alleged smartphone in the painting in an interview with Motherboard, Dr. Margaret Bruchac from the University of Pennsylvania told said: “It does bear a rather uncanny resemblance, both in the way, it’s being held and the way it focuses his attention, to a smartphone.” However, Dr. Bruchac explained how instead of being an actual smartphone, the object is more likely to have been an iron blade, saying that the painting was a ‘romanticized artistic genre’ which made it hard to tell.

The Mayan pyramid located in Chichen Itza is one of the most visited sites in modern-day Mexico. Erected more than a thousand years ago, the stunning structure built by the long-lost civilization has been the subject of debate among experts, who have revealed a number of secrets hiding in the Pyramids interior. Now, experts have found what appears to be a secret passageway leading to an underground chamber, or cave, filled with water beneath the ‘El Castillo’ Pyramid at Chichen Itza. The cave, according to experts, is a cenote (a kind of flooded hole) that leads to the temple and could reveal the “sacred geography” of the place. The theory is that there is a system of underground sumps interconnected around the pyramid at its cardinal points.  The discovery was made by a team led by underwater archaeologist Guillermo de Anda, who used advanced imaging techniques, like ground penetrating lidar—a form of radar, to send electromagnetic signals through the walls and other architectural elements of the pyramid and its surroundings—and make a 3D model of the structures that make up the subsoil around the pyramid. However, although there is certainty of the existence of the passage, the first explorations have not been made. De Anda said in a statement to Milenio, that if the cenote was verified, it would “totally change” the vision we have of “the patterns of the Mayan settlement.”  The discovery was made through a smaller burial chamber referred to as the Ossuary. In an interview with El universal, Dr. De Anda said: “Through the Ossuary, we can enter the cave beneath the structure and there we found a blocked passageway, probably closed off by the ancient Mayans themselves. We will enter again and this time we will try to open it to see if the passageway leads us to the entrance of the cenote beneath the pyramid.” Unlike the European cosmogony that places the deities in heaven, Mayan spirituality believed that the Gods came from the underworld. The most sacred and alive was the earth, that is why formations such as caves and cenotes were so sacred because they were an access road to the inside of the earth, that is, leading to the presence of the gods,” said Dr. James Brady from the California State University, Los Angeles.  Dr. Brady is a worldwide pioneer in the study of the relations established by the Mayans between architecture and caves. Experts believe the ancient Maya built one of their most sacred pyramids around 1,000 years ago on top of a cavern, due to their religious beliefs. Furthermore, archaeologists note that the cenotes that are located around the Pyramid may represent the four cardinal points. Researchers also note that the river located at the center may represent the center of the Maya universe, which they envisioned as a tree with roots reaching below ground.
