Diamonds and rust help unveil "impossible" quasi-particles
Researchers have discovered magnetic monopoles—isolated magnetic charges—in a material closely related to rust, a result that could be used to power greener and faster computing technologies......»»
Learn about the O.J. Simpson trial from CNN"s ancient "90s website
It's impossible to explain how central O.J. Simpson's trial for the murder of his former wife was to American culture in the 1990s. But CNN's internet archive does a decent job of documenting it. O.J. Simpson, perhaps the most infamous celebrit.....»»
Nanoscale movies shed light on one barrier to a clean energy future
Left unchecked, corrosion can rust out cars and pipes, take down buildings and bridges, and eat away at our monuments. Corrosion can also damage devices that could be key to a clean energy future. And now, Duke University researchers have captured ex.....»»
Nothing is everything: How hidden emptiness can define the usefulness of filtration materials
Voids, or empty spaces, exist within matter at all scales, from the astronomical to the microscopic. In a new study, researchers used high-powered microscopy and mathematical theory to unveil nanoscale voids in three dimensions. This advancement is p.....»»
Team reports on ultrafast laser state active controlling based on anisotropic quasi-1D material
Tunable ultrafast lasers with adjustable parameters, such as wavelength, intensity, pulse width and laser states are desirable as next-generation intelligent light sources. Due to complex nonlinear effects within the ultrafast system, it is challengi.....»»
Apple makes it really hard for users to completely stop it from collecting data
Apple's default apps are collecting user data even if users try disabling them, research from Aalto University claims, with it being an almost impossible task to properly accomplish.Apple's Advanced Data Protection featureApple prides itself on makin.....»»
Physicists track how continuous changes in dimensionality affect collective properties of a superfluid
An international research team from Innsbruck and Geneva has, for the first time, probed the dimensional crossover for ultracold quantum matter. In the regime between one and two dimensions, the quantum particles perceive their world as being 1D or 2.....»»
Study finds microbes hitchhike on microplastics to reach the sea
The oceans contain large amounts of microplastics, particles that are less than 5 mm in size. In parts of the Baltic Sea, the concentration of microplastics can be as much as 3,300 particles per cubic meter. The microplastics end up in aquatic enviro.....»»
Microplastic concentrations in Antarctic seawater higher than previously estimated
Microplastic particles can be found in the most remote ocean regions on Earth. In Antarctica, pollution levels are even higher than previously assumed. This is one finding of a recent study involving researchers from the University of Basel......»»
Research team exerts electrical control over polaritons, hybridized light-matter particles, at room temperature
A research team has pioneered an innovative technique in ultra-high-resolution spectroscopy. Their breakthrough marks the world's first instance of electrically controlling polaritons—hybridized light-matter particles—at room temperature. The res.....»»
Computing how quantum states overlap
Quantum many-body systems are things such as atomic nuclei that consist of many tiny particles moving in complex ways. This makes it extremely difficult to predict how the systems behave as the particles interact. To study these systems, researchers.....»»
FASER measures high-energy neutrino interaction strength
Operating at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) since 2022, the FASER experiment is designed to search for extremely weakly interacting particles. Such particles are predicted by many theories beyond the Standard Model that are attempting to solve ou.....»»
Study presents evidence that recent reductions in aerosol emissions create an additional warming effect
Recent reductions in emissions of tiny particles, the major cause of air pollution globally, have led to more heat in the Earth's climate system. This is shown in a new international study led by CICERO and published in Communications Earth & Environ.....»»
Scientists unveil ruthenium catalyst for new reaction discovery and optimization
Researchers at The University of Manchester have developed a new catalyst which has been shown to have a wide variety of uses and the potential to streamline optimization processes in industry and support new scientific discoveries......»»
How to fix corrupted DaVinci Resolve projects
Most video creators are familiar with the dreaded "Media Offline" warning and the panic it triggers. For users of DaVinci Resolve, the fix usually takes just a few clicks, but sometimes relinking clips seems impossible, and a project appears to be go.....»»
"It"s ultimately about predicting everything"—theory could be a map in the hunt for quantum materials
A breakthrough in theoretical physics is an important step toward predicting the behavior of the fundamental matter of which our world is built. It can be used to calculate systems of enormous quantities of quantum particles, a feat thought impossibl.....»»
Myrtle rust is lethal to Australian plants. Could citizen scientists help track its spread?
Every weekend, thousands of citizen scientists head into the great outdoors. If they see an unusual animal, plant or fungi, they take a photo and upload it......»»
Google agrees to delete Incognito data despite prior claim that’s “impossible”
What a lawyer calls "a historic step," Google considers not that "significant." Enlarge (credit: Anadolu / Contributor | Anadolu) To settle a class-action dispute over Chrome's "Incognito" mode, Google has agreed to dele.....»»
How to download Twitch clips
With the new Twitch interface, it seems impossible to download your favorite clips. However, there's still a quick, easy way to download clips if you search......»»
Mapping the best route for a spacecraft traveling beyond the sun"s sphere of influence
The heliosphere—made of solar wind, solar transients, and the interplanetary magnetic field—acts as our solar system's personal shield, protecting the planets from galactic cosmic rays. These extremely energetic particles accelerated outwards fro.....»»
