How Universes Might Bubble Up and Collide
To understand how universes might inflate and bump into each other in the hypothetical multiverse, physicists are studying digital and physical analogs of the process......»»

ALICE collaboration sees long-range spatial correspondence in simplest collisions yet
When atomic nuclei such as gold or lead nuclei collide at high energy in particle colliders, they can produce quark–gluon plasma (QGP)—a hot and dense state of matter predicted to have existed shortly after the Big Bang. One of the key features o.....»»
Stressed plants emit airborne sounds that can be detected from more than a meter away
What does a stressed plant sound like? A bit like bubble-wrap being popped. Researchers in Israel report in the journal Cell on March 30 that tomato and tobacco plants that are stressed—from dehydration or having their stems severed—emit sounds t.....»»
"Taffy Galaxies" collide, leave behind bridge of star-forming material
Galaxy collisions are transformative events, largely responsible for driving the evolution of the universe. The mixing and mingling of stellar material is an incredibly dynamic process that can lead to the formation of molecular clouds populated with.....»»
Microsoft Taiwan GM: generative AI is not a bubble
The trend of generative AI has continued to spread, but will this trend run the risk of turning into a bubble, like the previous hot topic of the metaverse? In an interview, Microsoft Taiwan GM Sean Pien gave a clear "no," emphasizing that generative.....»»
Tiny yet hazardous: New study shows aerosols produced by contaminated bubble bursting are far smaller than predicted
A cold sparkling water. Waves crashing on the beach. The crackle of a bonfire. Steam from a kettle......»»
The multiverse: How we"re tackling the challenges facing the theory
The idea of a multiverse consisting of "parallel universes" is a popular science fiction trope, recently explored in the Oscar-winning movie "Everything Everywhere All At Once." However, it is within the realm of scientific possibility......»»
When LLMs Collide With Software Development and Economics
Paul Kedrosky and Eric Norlin of SK Ventures wrote an interesting and important essay titled Society’s Technical Debt and Software’s Gutenberg Moment. The abstract follows. I encourage you to read the full essay. There is immense hyperbol.....»»
Their time to slime: who will be "Mollusc of the Year"?
Will you choose beauty? The carnivorous Wavy Bubble Snail, perhaps, with its billowing skirts shimmering under UV light. Or will it be age? Like the venerable 500-year-old Methuselah oyster......»»
The multiverse: Our universe is suspiciously unlikely to exist—unless it is one of many, says physicist
It's easy to envisage other universes, governed by slightly different laws of physics, in which no intelligent life, nor indeed any kind of organized complex systems, could arise. Should we therefore be surprised that a universe exists in which we we.....»»
A surprising way to trap a microparticle
When physicists recently steered a tiny microparticle toward a cylindrical obstacle, they expected one of two outcomes to occur. The particle would either collide into the obstacle or sail around it. The particle, however, did neither......»»
Colliding Dwarf Galaxies Reveal a Glimpse of the Early Universe
Scientists may have spotted two pairs of merging dwarf galaxies, each pair with a duo of soon-to-collide black holes.....»»
Nanofluidic devices offer solutions for studying single molecule chemical reactions
In a chemical reaction, molecules in different substances meet one another to form new molecules causing changes in the bonds of their atoms. The molecules collide at an extremely close distance—a nanometer or less—in an extremely short amount of.....»»
Physicists create new model of ringing black holes
When two black holes collide into each other to form a new bigger black hole, they violently roil spacetime around them, sending ripples, called gravitational waves, outward in all directions. Previous studies of black hole collisions modeled the beh.....»»
Gen Z is key to Apple’s dominance, due to their fear of green bubbles
Gen Z is key to Apple’s dominance, according to a new report – which says that fear of being “the green bubble guy”‘ in group chats is a key motivation. The report also underlines the importance the iPhone plays in hooking people into the.....»»
Hope and doubt collide in an eventful episode 6 of The Last of Us
Plus, Kyle and Andrew use any excuse to talk about post-apocalyptic energy politics. Enlarge / Will someone please get this girl an electric heater? New episodes of The Last of Us are premiering on HBO every Sunday nigh.....»»
Researchers observe a bubble phase of composite fermions
Strong interactions between particles in physical systems can result in various highly correlated ground states. These states and the strong correlations underpinning them have been extensively explored in recent years......»»
Researchers simulate bubble collapse near oscillating walls
Bubble dynamics plays a significant role in mechanics, chemistry, medicine, and biology. Understanding their interactions with the surrounding walls of the container is crucial for numerous applications, including cavitation erosion, underwater explo.....»»
20.5-inch MacBook Pro with foldable display rumored for 2025, no folding iPad in 2024
Rumors continue to collide over how Apple will roll out a foldable product, with the latest from Ross Young suggesting a folding-display 20.5-inch MacBook Pro is in the works for 2025.A folding-display notebook may release before a folding iPhoneThe.....»»
Why This Universe? Maybe It’s Not Special—Just Probable
Two physicists find that our universe has a higher entropy—and is therefore more likely—than alternative possible universes......»»
