Interior of protons is maximally entangled
Fragments of the interior of a proton have been shown by scientists from Mexico and Poland to exhibit maximum quantum entanglement. The discovery, already confronted with experimental data, allows us to suppose that in some respects the physics of th.....»»
Treading wander paths to uncover the geological history of southwest Japan
The geological record of the movement of Earth's "tectonic plates" is preserved in the magnetic orientation of old rocks found in the interior of these tectonic plates. As these rocks form, the magnetic orientation of their magnetic minerals aligns i.....»»
Feds announce historic water cuts: What does this mean?
The U.S. Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Reclamation declared a water shortage in the Colorado River Basin, announcing historic water cuts for portions of the western United States. The damning headlines are startling, but water research.....»»
Saturn"s Insides Are Sloshing Around
A new paper suggests Saturn's core is more like a fluid than a solid, and makes up more of the planet's interior than we thought. From a report: With its massive rings stretching out 175,000 miles in diameter, Saturn is a one-of-a-kind planet in the.....»»
Using particle accelerators to investigate the quark-gluon plasma of the infant universe
In the early stages of the Universe, quarks and gluons were quickly confined to protons and neutrons which went on to form atoms. With particle accelerators reaching increasingly higher energy levels the opportunity to study this fleeting primordial.....»»
Scientists Created a Quantum Crystal That Could Be a New Dark Matter Sensor
fahrbot-bot shares a report from Phys.Org: Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have linked together, or "entangled," the mechanical motion and electronic properties of a tiny blue crystal, giving it a quantum edge.....»»
This quantum crystal could be a new dark matter sensor
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have linked together, or "entangled," the mechanical motion and electronic properties of a tiny blue crystal, giving it a quantum edge in measuring electric fields with record se.....»»
Alternative to fishing – cell-based fish from the bioreactor
Already about 90 percent of all fish stocks are considered maximally exploited or overfished, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. But as the world's population continues to grow, more and more people rely on fish as a s.....»»
Geologists take Earth"s inner temperature using erupted sea glass
If the Earth's oceans were drained completely, they would reveal a massive chain of undersea volcanoes snaking around the planet. This sprawling ocean ridge system is a product of overturning material in the Earth's interior, where boiling temperatur.....»»
Earth"s interior is swallowing up more carbon than thought
Scientists from Cambridge University and NTU Singapore have found that slow-motion collisions of tectonic plates drag more carbon into Earth's interior than previously thought......»»
Quake-Measuring Device on Mars Gets Detailed Look at Red Planet"s Interior
"A quake-measuring device on Mars is providing the first detailed look at the red planet's interior, revealing a surprisingly thin crust and a hot molten core beneath the frigid surface," reports the Associated Press: In a series of articles publish.....»»
Red planet has a big core, complex crust
NASA's InSight lander's seismograph is slowly imaging the Martian interior. Enlarge / Some seismic waves bounce off Mars' core before reaching the InSight lander. (credit: Chris Bickel / Science) We've learned a lot about our planet's interior.....»»
China Is Pulling Ahead In Global Quantum Race, New Studies Suggest
An anonymous reader writes: When a team of Chinese scientists beamed entangled photons from the nation's Micius satellite to conduct the world's first quantum-secured video call in 2017, experts declared that China had taken the lead in quantum commu.....»»
Unlocking radiation-free quantum technology with graphene
"Heavy fermions" are an appealing theoretical way to produce quantum entangled phenomena, but until recently have been observed mostly in dangerously radioactive compounds. A new paper in Physical Review Letters has shown it is possible to make heavy.....»»
Scientists focus on cone targets to enhance temperature of electron beams
Intense short-pulse laser-driven production of bright high-energy sources, such as X-rays, neutrons and protons, has been shown to be an invaluable tool in the study of high energy density science......»»
2022 Infiniti QX60 aims to make school runs more stylish
The redesigned 2022 Infiniti QX60 family crossover SUV gets a much-needed tech upgrade, plus more distinctive exterior and interior styling......»»
Some seafloor microbes can take the heat: Here"s what they eat
It's cold in the depths of the world's oceans; most of the seafloor is at a chilly 4°C. Not so the seafloor of Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California. Here, tectonic plates drift apart and heat from Earth's interior can rise up—so far up that it.....»»
Inducing and tuning spin interactions in layered material by inserting iron atoms, protons
Magnetic-spin interactions that allow spin-manipulation by electrical control allow potential applications in energy-efficient spintronic devices......»»
GEM simplifies the internal structure of protons and their collisions
Inside each proton or neutron there are three quarks bound by gluons. Until now, it has often been assumed that two of them form a "stable" pair known as a diquark. It seems, however, that it's the end of the road for the diquarks in physics. This is.....»»
2022 Nissan Pathfinder first drive review: More tech, more toughness

Is Earth"s core lopsided? Strange goings-on in our planet"s interior
For reasons unknown, Earth's solid-iron inner core is growing faster on one side than the other, and it has been ever since it started to freeze out from molten iron more than half a billion years ago, according to a new study by seismologists at the.....»»
