Mathematicians Transcend a Geometric Theory of Motion
More than 30 years ago, Andreas Floer changed geometry. Now, two mathematicians have finally figured out how to extend his revolutionary perspective......»»
Do we live in a computer simulation like in The Matrix? Proposed new law of physics backs up the idea
The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing our reality are simply algorithms. The experiences.....»»
Growers, consumers want "wildlife-friendly" plants, but researchers say education is needed
Growers want to produce wildlife-friendly plants, and consumers want to buy them, at least in theory, new University of Florida research shows......»»
Physical theory improves protein folding prediction
Proteins are important molecules that perform a variety of functions essential to life. To function properly, many proteins must fold into specific structures. However, the way proteins fold into specific structures is still largely unknown. Research.....»»
Researchers use measurements to generate quantum entanglement and teleportation
Quantum mechanics is full of weird phenomena, but perhaps none as weird as the role measurement plays in the theory. Since a measurement tends to destroy the "quantumness" of a system, it seems to be the mysterious link between the quantum and classi.....»»
Machine learning provides a clearer window into ocean motion
Oceanographers use satellites to peer down at Earth and measure the elevation of the ocean's surface. This information can help them map the circulation of the ocean's currents and understand the role this movement plays in heat transport and climate.....»»
Tribotronics: Promising prospects in the development of new functional devices and self-powered microsystems
Formed by the coupling effect of contact electrification and electrostatic induction, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) effectively convert the most widely distributed micro-nano energy in our environment, including human motion, breeze, vibration,.....»»
Can selection tie evolution more closely to physics?
New papers claim to link evolution to other physics, but neither really succeeds. Enlarge / Does Assembly Theory have useful things to say about evolution? The paper written by its proponents makes that difficult to tell. (credit.....»»
Hollywood and Netflix Flag ‘Priority’ Piracy Threats
The Motion Picture Association (MPA) has submitted its latest overview of 'notorious' foreign piracy markets to the US Trade Representative. The Pirate Bay and other usual suspects secured entries and for the very first time, the MPA also highlights.....»»
More JWST observations are finding fewer early massive galaxies
There's a common pattern in science. We develop some new process or tool that allows us to gather all kinds of data we've never had before, the data threatens to overturn all we've assumed about some long-established theory, and then the dust settles.....»»
Chiral AuCu heterostructures with site-specific geometric control and tailored plasmonic chirality
Artificially-engineered chiral materials with exceptional light-manipulating capabilities show significantly-enhanced chiroptical response and capability of light manipulation, which have emerged as a promising chiral platform for applications in bio.....»»
The best TV-to-movie adaptations ever
From a Harrison Ford crime tale to one of Tom Cruise's best films, these TV-to-movie adaptations are proof that some stories can transcend mediums......»»
Peregrine falcons set off false alarms to make prey easier to catch, study finds
Predators must eat to survive—and to survive, prey must avoid being eaten. One theory, the Wolf-Mangel model, suggests predators could use false attacks to tire prey out or force them to take bigger risks, but this has been hard to show in practice.....»»
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.....»»
New research offers a theory on how gold, platinum, and other precious metals found their way into Earth"s mantle
Scientists at Yale and the Southwest Research Institute (SRI) say they've hit the jackpot with some valuable new information about the story of gold......»»
AMD FSR 3: everything you need to know about Fluid Motion Frames
AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) technology has undergone a significant evolution with the introduction of FSR 3.....»»
Can AI popstars make it in the real world?
Created using motion capture, graphics and AI software, Noonoouri is not your average singer......»»
Gravitational distortion of time helps tell modified gravity apart from a dark force
With his theory of General Relativity in 1915, Albert Einstein revolutionized how we think about our universe. Rather than the cosmos simply providing the room for the planets and stars to orbit each other, space and time themselves were now dynamica.....»»
Researchers suggest paired black holes pulled by cosmic expansion could seem to be one entity
A small team of astrophysicists and mathematicians from the University of Southampton, the University of Cambridge and Institut de Ci'encies del Cosmos Universitat de Barcelona has proposed that certain pairings of black holes held apart by cosmic ex.....»»
A precise test of quantum electrodynamics: Measuring the g factor of electrons in hydrogen-like tin
Quantum electrodynamics is the best-tested theory in physics. It describes all electrical and magnetic interactions of light and matter. Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in Heidelberg (MPIK) have now used precision measurements o.....»»
Against the Dell XPS 15, the Surface Laptop Studio 2 falters
The Surface Laptop Studio 2 seriously ups the performance -- on paper. That makes it a stronger competitor to the excellent Dell XPS 15, at least in theory......»»
