Einstein"s theory of relativity reaffirmed, despite doubts from quantum physicists
One of the most basic assumptions of fundamental physics is that the different properties of mass—weight, inertia and gravitation—always remain the same in relation to each other. Without this equivalence, Einstein's theory of relativity would be.....»»
Researchers use microeconomics theory to predict how biological systems respond to environmental change
A team from the University of Tokyo has combined economic theory with biology to understand how natural systems respond to change. The researchers have published their findings in Physical Review Letters......»»
Engineering dual carriageways for signals: Research expands possibilities for more flexible signaling devices
Routing signals and isolating them against noise and back-reflections are essential in many practical situations in classical communication as well as in quantum processing. In a theory-experimental collaboration, a team led by Andreas Nunnenkamp fro.....»»
Research team compares form and function of island and mainland plants
Oceanic islands provide useful models for ecology, biogeography and evolutionary research. Many ground-breaking findings—including Darwin's theory of evolution—have emerged from the study of species on islands and their interplay with their livin.....»»
Toyota, Kia lead in first-half inventory efficiency
An inventory efficiency index Cloud Theory developed ranked Toyota the most efficient mover of vehicle inventory in the U.S. Toyota and Kia have traded the top spot on the index repeatedly over the last six months......»»
Overcoming user resistance to passwordless authentication
Many organizations agree in theory that passwordless authentication is the future, but getting there represents a significant change management challenge. The migration to passwordless requires forethought and planning. For example, an organization n.....»»
How Apple Vision Pro will try to fight off motion sickness
The Apple Vision Pro will help minimize instances of motion sickness with brute force, a professor of spatial computing believes, with Apple's high-specification headset relying on extreme performance to do it.Apple Vision ProApple's mixed-reality he.....»»
How and when you can just say "Siri" to a Mac on macOS Sonoma
Apple announced that we'll soon be able to stop saying "Hey, Siri," to our iPhones — but it's also true on macOS Sonoma, if you set it up first. Here's how to do it.From macOS 14 onwards, in theory you can now say "Siri" to invoke Apple's digital a.....»»
An inhomogeneous Dirac cone system gives rise to in-plane chiral Landau levels
Chiral zeroth Landau levels are topologically protected bulk states that propagate in a single direction. In the field of quantum field theory and condensed matter physics, these levels are crucial for breaking chiral symmetry and triggering the chir.....»»
Science activism is surging, which marks a culture shift among scientists
Hundreds of scientists protested government efforts to restrict educational access to Western science theories, including Darwin's theory of evolution, in June 2023 in India. Similarly, scientists in Mexico participated in a research strike in May 20.....»»
Apple faces March 5 deadline for third-party app stores – but don’t hold your breath
Apple will have until March 5 next year to comply with Europe’s Digital Markets Act, which in theory means that it will have to permit either third-party app stores, or sideloading of apps, by that date. The deadline has been revealed after Apple.....»»
