Kinks, skinks and supersymmetry
Supersymmetry is symmetry of nature that is often hypothesized to exist among elementary particles. In a new paper that appeared in Physical Review Letters this week, physicists from the University of Amsterdam and QuSoft propose a setup where supers.....»»
ATLAS sets stringent limits on the existence of supersymmetric dark matter particles
If new particles are out there, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the ideal place to search for them. The theory of supersymmetry suggests that a whole new family of partner particles exists for each of the known fundamental particles. While this mi.....»»
Slowly but surely, auto dealers test ChatGPT waters
ChatGPT is drawing interest as a way to enhance dealership management systems and other platforms. Vendors predict wide adoption within months as users iron out kinks......»»
Tekion"s big dealership experiment is a big win
Tekion, in an unusual move, purchased two Gilroy, Calif., dealerships in 2020 and used them to test its dealership management system and iron out any kinks. Executives say the plan succeeded beyond expectations......»»
Extinction of steam locomotives derails assumptions about biological evolution, claims researcher
When the Kinks' Ray Davies penned the tune "Last of the Steam-Powered Trains," the vanishing locomotives stood as nostalgic symbols of a simpler English life. But for a paleontologist at the University of Kansas, the replacement of steam-powered trai.....»»
New ways to measure curls and kinks could make it easier to care for natural hair
Black women and others with curly or kinky hair encounter a vast and confusing array of haircare options. Advice on the best products to use for a certain type of hair is often contradictory, and the results can be highly variable. Now, scientists ar.....»»
Smooth, versatile on-chip light manipulation is now possible with supersymmetry
Transformation optics has formulated a versatile framework to mold the flow of light and tailor its spatial characteristics at will. The coordinate transformation often yields extreme material parameters unfeasible even with metamaterials......»»
Pressures within supply chains paved the way to an oversupply of prescription opioids, researcher finds
In today's post-pandemic world, strained global supply chains have emerged as a new norm. But in the case of prescription opioids, namely oxycodone and hydrocodone in the early 2000s, that supply chain flowed freely without any kinks......»»
Suppliers continuing to feel pressure from inflation, supply chain kinks
Inflation and production volatility are squeezing the revenue, income and margins of major automotive suppliers that had been hoping for some relief by now from the financial headwinds of the past two years......»»
Here"s what a pair of AR sports glasses taught me about the future of work
AR has the potential to play a significant role in the workplace, but there are kinks to be ironed out......»»

Diablo II: Resurrected gets support for Nvidia DLSS, but there are some kinks to iron out
The most notable is support for Nvidia DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) tech on PC’s with compatible Nvidia graphics cards, which arrived in the new 2.3 patch. DLSS is an AI rendering technique that uses Nvidia’s Tensor Core AI processors to p.....»»
COVID-19: The coronavirus"s tangled strands of RNA could offer new ways to treat people who get infected
To the untrained eye, the loops, kinks and folds in the single strand of RNA that makes up the coronavirus genome look like a jumble of spaghetti or tangled yarn. But to researchers like Amanda Hargrove, a chemistry professor at Duke University, the.....»»
Two new species of skinks identified
To coincide with National Reptile Awareness Day today Thursday 21 October, a new paper published in the Journal of Herpetology, led by South Australian Museum Honorary Researcher Dr. Mark Hutchinson in collaboration with Queensland Museum researchers.....»»
Bad software has bricked some Mustang Mach-E EVs
There’s an adage among car folks that you never buy the first year of a completely new vehicle model. The thought process is that it takes at least a model year for automakers to work out any major kinks in an entirely new vehicle. While we are.....»»
Under the radar: Searching for stealthy supersymmetry
The standard model of particle physics encapsulates our current knowledge of elementary particles and their interactions. The standard model is not complete; for example, it does not describe observations such as gravity, has no prediction for dark m.....»»
Q1 sales expected to rise despite supply kinks
The industry's March SAAR is projected to top 16 million, and retail sales are projected to reach the second-highest level ever for a first quarter......»»
