What do we do now? Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems. The law is a bedrock of physics, but has long failed to describe systems that are out of thermodynamic equilibrium. The work could have applications in fields ranging from circuitry and quantum computing to space weather. The first law […]

Scientists Defy Physics, Basically Pull Energy Out of Thin Air
That’s not supposed to happen. A shelved theory appears to have new life in pulling energy from one location to another. Two experiments have now extracted energy and filled a vacuum. A fresh world of quantum energy science is opened with the new findings. Energy teleportation sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but now, research shows that you can actually pull […]
The Weird and Concerning Reason Human Bones Are Getting More Brittle
Unfortunately, you can’t do much to avoid it. A Columbia University study says air pollutants have increased bone damage among postmenopausal women. The study explores the connection between air pollution and bone mineral density. Air pollution can double the density reduction that age already brings on. Is the air we breathe making us weaker? A […]
Scientists Discovered a Highly Reactive Superacid. It Might Just Break Chemistry.
Now, what do we’ve got right here? A number of the most harmful greenhouse gases, resembling Sulfer Hexafluoride, are laborious to transform into sustainable chemical substances. Scientists from Paderborn College found a brand new “Lewis superacid” that may very well be these lethal gases’ worst enemy. The trouble is a part of a broader initiative […]
Scientists Are Growing Mini Brains in the Lab. Are They … Conscious?
Studying brain organoids could lead to big medical breakthroughs, but troubling ethical questions remain. Since 2013, when the first “mini brain” was grown inside a test tube in order to study a genetic disorder, scientists all over the world have been mad at work. They have been mixing and matching lumps of tissue derived from human embryonic stem […]
This Ship Mysteriously Sank and Disappeared in 1894. Searchers Just Found It.
The Ironton has been lost for over a century in the waters of Lake Huron. Not anymore. The Ironton went down in a dramatic 1894 sinking that claimed five crew members and was lost to time. Ironton was a 191-foot cargo vessel that was part of a two-ship sinking after a nighttime collision. The recent locating of Ironton shows a well-preserved […]
A Human Family Still Walks on All Fours, Suggesting Backwards Evolution
Some scientists offer another explanation. A scientific debate about a family in Turkey has continued for years, all because multiple members of the family walk on all fours. One scientist infamously dubbed the condition backwards evolution, which was met with scorn by others in the scientific community. A syndrome was established based on the multiple members of […]
A New Statue Suddenly Appeared on Easter Island. That Doesn’t Make Sense.
Scientists thought they discovered all of them. There are greater than 1,000 moai statues on Easter Island, representing a key a part of the area’s cultural and archeological previous. A brand new moai, smaller than most, was present in a dried-up lakebed. The brand new discover raises the potential for added moai finds sooner or […]
60 Scientists Are Trying to Block the Sun
The specialists say reflecting daylight will cut back the dangers of local weather change. Will it work? Because the world continues to heat below the consequences of local weather change, scientists are investigating methods to maintain the planet cool. 60 scientists write in an open letter that photo voltaic geoengineering is price investigating as a strategy to hold the […]
You’re Not The Only One Who’s Scared: Behind the Strange Psychology of Phobias
A psychology researcher explains how your phobias work—and methods to get rid of their energy over you. I’ve had a phobia of cockroaches since I used to be about 10 years outdated, once I by chance grabbed one in the course of the night time whereas visiting family members in Mumbai, India. I’ve no reminiscence of even […]
