Large Hadron Collider experiment zeroes in on magnetic monopoles
The late physicist Joseph Polchinski once said the existence of magnetic monopoles is "one of the safest bets that one can make about physics not yet seen." In its quest for these particles, which have a magnetic charge and are predicted by several t.....»»

Simulation sheds light on Earth"s magnetic field generation while advancing neuromorphic computing
How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers from the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, Sa.....»»
Scientists can now predict how climate change will alter plant growth cycles
On February 2, 1887, residents of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, consulted a large rodent regarding the arrival of spring, marking the first official celebration of Groundhog Day. According to Rob Guralnick, curator of biodiversity informatics at the Fl.....»»
MagSafe for Samsung? The Galaxy S25 may introduce new magnetic accessories

Many more men are dying on Australian roads than women
Men are killing themselves on the roads in large numbers. Currently, policymakers fail to recognize the different ways men and women use roads, and the resulting ways they are killed or injured......»»
Do the fastest-spinning pulsars contain quark matter?
Neutron stars are so named because in the simplest of models they are made of neutrons. They form when the core of a large star collapses, and the weight of gravity causes atoms to collapse. Electrons are squeezed together with protons so that the co.....»»
Hubble images spiral galaxy NGC 5643
The spiral galaxy NGC 5643 is located roughly 40 million light-years away in the constellation Lupus, the Wolf. NGC 5643 is a grand design spiral, which refers to the galaxy's symmetrical form with two large, winding spiral arms that are clearly visi.....»»
JWST uncovers massive grand-design spiral galaxy in early universe
Indian astronomers report the detection of a new grand-design galaxy with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The newfound galaxy, which received designation A2744-GDSp-z4, is relatively large and massive. The finding was detailed in a paper publi.....»»
ChatGPT o1 vs. o1-mini vs. 4o: Which should you use?

Surveys show full scale of massive seabird die-off due to Pacific Ocean heat wave
Murres, a common seabird, look a little like flying penguins. These stout, tuxedo-styled birds dive and swim in the ocean to eat small fish and then fly back to islands or coastal cliffs where they nest in large colonies. But their hardy physiques di.....»»
ALMA observes dusty site of planet formation
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has successfully observed a site of planet formation by detecting a high concentration of dust grains, a planet-forming material, outside the orbits of just-formed planets......»»
Tilted magnetic materials offer fresh path for thermoelectric applications
A research team from NIMS and UTokyo has proposed and demonstrated that the transverse magneto-thermoelectric conversion in magnetic materials can be utilized with much higher performance than previously by developing artificial materials comprising.....»»
Are LLMs capable of non-verbal reasoning?
Processing in the "latent space" could help AI with tricky logical questions. Large language models have found great success so far by using their transformer architecture to e.....»»
Scientists call for all-out, global effort to create an AI virtual cell
Noting that recent advances in artificial intelligence and the existence of large-scale experimental data about human biology have reached a critical mass, a team of researchers from Stanford University, Genentech, and the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative.....»»
Physicists uncover strong light-matter interactions in quantum spin liquids
Physicists have long theorized the existence of a unique state of matter known as a quantum spin liquid. In this state, magnetic particles do not settle into an orderly pattern, even at absolute zero temperature. Instead, they remain in a constantly.....»»
Single heat wave wiped out millions of Alaska"s dominant seabird
The common murre, a large black-and-white seabird native to northern waters, has become far less common in Alaska over the past decade due to the impacts of climate change......»»
Conservation leads to benefits: Large marine protected areas are boosting fish catch rates
Increases in catch rates for fish such as tuna have been demonstrated near recently created Large-Scale Marine Protected Areas (LSMPAs), including Revillagigedo in Mexico. This shows that LSPMAs are large enough to protect highly migratory species su.....»»
Astronomers discover magnetic loops around supermassive black hole
NGC 1068 is a well-known, relatively nearby, bright galaxy with a supermassive black hole at its center. Despite its status as a popular target for astronomers, however, its accretion disk is obscured by thick clouds of dust and gas. A few light-year.....»»
