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.....»»
AI algorithm intensifies gold ion collisions at near-light speed
At Brookhaven National Laboratory's (BNL's) Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), billions of gold ions race through magnets at nearly the speed of light. Thousands of times per second, they collide head-on, breaking into smaller particles that rev.....»»
Rethinking the quantum chip: Engineers present new design for superconducting quantum processor
Researchers at the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) have realized a new design for a superconducting quantum processor, aiming at a potential architecture for the large-scale, durable devices the quantum revolution dem.....»»
Cosmic rays" vast energy traced to magnetic turbulence
Ultra-high energy cosmic rays, which emerge in extreme astrophysical environments—like the roiling environments near black holes and neutron stars—have far more energy than the energetic particles that emerge from our sun. In fact, the particles.....»»
The death of a robot designed for autistic children proves Apple"s on-device AI is the right path
The Moxie robot that used cloud processing for a large language model was designed to be a companion and education tool for autistic children, and it's being unceremoniously shut down by the owners. This absolutely insensitive and destructive move pr.....»»
Vortex electric field discovery could impact quantum computing
A new vortex electric field with the potential to enhance future electronic, magnetic and optical devices has been observed by researchers from City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) and local partners......»»
Critical reporting weakens the effect of "sportswashing" for authoritarian regimes, experiment reveals
Major sporting events offer authoritarian regimes the opportunity to present themselves to the population of foreign states as progressive and open. However, this positive effect on image—or "sportswashing" for short—only works in other states wh.....»»
Unlike other insects, desert ants may use polarity of geomagnetic field for navigation
Desert ants of the Cataglyphis nodus species use the Earth's magnetic field for spatial orientation, but these tiny insects rely on a different component of the field than other insects, a research team led by Dr. Pauline Fleischmann from the Univers.....»»
Experiment verifies a connection between quantum theory and information theory
Researchers from Linköping University together with colleagues from Poland and Chile have confirmed a theory that proposes a connection between the complementarity principle and entropic uncertainty. Their study is published in the journal Science A.....»»
Spatial transcriptomic analysis toolkit can extract biological relationships to better investigate cellular processes
In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a team of researchers at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology reports a new, robust computational toolset to extract biological relationships from large transcriptomics datasets. These.....»»
Solving waste plastic processing with heat circulation: Researchers develop large-scale pyrolysis process
Dr. Byungwook Hwang's research team from the CCS Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed a process that applies the circulating fluidized bed technology, commonly used in coal-fired power plant.....»»
3D models help researchers understand the climate impact of eddies
Mesoscale eddies are ocean vortices less than 100 kilometers in diameter that are responsible for the localized "weather" of the oceans. Because of the large amount of mass and energy movement associated with these currents, mesoscale eddies play an.....»»
Citizen scientist data help uncover the mysteries of a blue low-latitude aurora
Colorful auroras appeared around Japan's Honshu and Hokkaido islands on May 11, 2024, sparked by an intense magnetic storm. Usually, auroras observed at low latitudes appear red due to the emission of oxygen atoms. But on this day, a salmon pink auro.....»»
Law enforcement shuts down Manson Market cybercrime marketplace
Europol has supported the dismantling of a sophisticated criminal network responsible for facilitating large-scale online fraud. In an operation led by the Hanover Police Department (Polizeidirektion Hannover) and the Verden Public Prosecutor’s Off.....»»
