New results from the world's most sensitive dark matter detector narrow down its characteristics, edging closer to unraveling one of the biggest mysteries of the universe......»»
Apple all-in on struggling Matter, to the detriment of HomeKit Accessory Protocol
Apple has privately and publicly pledged its support to new smart home standard Matter over its own HomeKit Accessory Protocol, but customer confusion and a staggered rollout has put the damper on widespread adoption.Apple tries to push Matter forwar.....»»
Dark matter could have helped make supermassive black holes in the early universe
It takes a long time for supermassive black holes, like the one at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, to form. Typically, the birth of a black hole requires a giant star with the mass of at least 50 of our suns to burn out—a process that can take.....»»
New Lexus brand "taste" will come from sweeping rework of body rigidity
Lexus says it has found the missing piece in its quest to match the long-lauded driving dynamics of Germany's big premium players — better body rigidity. To deliver a better signature, Toyota's top-shelf marque is reworking ride and handling across.....»»
Study proposes generalized approach to light-matter interactions
A study coordinated by the University of Trento with the University of Chicago proposes a generalized approach to the interactions between electrons and light. In the future, it may contribute to the development of quantum technologies as well as to.....»»
Experiment sets new record in search for dark matter
Figuring out the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world's most sensitive dark matter detector, LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), have narrowe.....»»
