These are the best PS5 SSDs that you can get in 2024. The post Best PS5 SSDs you can buy in 2024 appeared first on Phandroid. PlayStation 5 games are fun to play but with time, they have only increased significantly in terms of file size......»»
Physicists ease path to entanglement for quantum sensing
Nothing in science can be achieved or understood without measurement. Today, thanks to advances in quantum sensing, scientists can measure things that were once impossible to even imagine: vibrations of atoms, properties of individual photons, fluctu.....»»
Widespread culling of crocodiles is not an effective way to stop attacks on humans, study shows
Education and community awareness, removal of problem animals and exclusion areas are significantly more effective in reducing saltwater crocodile attacks in the Northern Territory than a widespread culling program to reduce crocodile numbers, accord.....»»
Heaviest antimatter observation yet will fine-tune numbers for dark matter search
In experiments at the Brookhaven National Lab in the US, an international team of physicists has detected the heaviest "anti-nuclei" ever seen. The tiny, short-lived objects are composed of exotic antimatter particles......»»
NASA"s DART impact permanently changed the shape and orbit of asteroid moon, new study shows
When NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft collided with an asteroid moon called Dimorphos in 2022, the moon was significantly deformed—creating a large crater and reshaping it so dramatically that the moon derailed from its ori.....»»
Extreme rainfall event study demonstrates improved forecasting via physics-guided machine learning
A research team focused on the extreme rainfall event of "21·7" in Henan in 2021. By analyzing anomalous physical characteristics and understanding multi-model forecast biases, they significantly enhanced the accuracy of precipitation intensity fore.....»»
Scientists propose guidelines for solar geoengineering research
Scientists for several years have studied the theoretical effectiveness of injecting sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere to reflect heat from the sun and offset Earth's warming temperatures. But they also want to ensure that the solar geoengineering.....»»
Improving the accuracy of global cropland mapping
To address the needs of the agricultural monitoring community, IIASA scientists fused two of the latest high-quality, high-resolution, remotely sensed cropland products to produce an improved cropland map for early warning and food security assessmen.....»»
Pollution drives families to relocate—but only the rich can afford to live in healthier areas
Pollution levels factor in households' decision to relocate within the United States, but only richer households can afford areas with improved air quality, a new study finds......»»
AMD explains, promises partial fixes for Ryzen 9000 performance problems
Improved branch prediction in Windows 24H2 should help all recent Ryzen CPUs. Enlarge / We (and other testers) have had issues getting the Ryzen 9000 series to behave normally. (credit: Andrew Cunningham) AMD recently re.....»»
Physicists observe key minuscule molecular interactions in ultra-fast atomic processes
An international team of scientists is the first to report incredibly small time delays in a molecule's electron activity when the particles are exposed to X-rays......»»
Lipid nanoparticle mRNA therapy improves survival in mouse models of maple syrup urine disease
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine, Gene Therapy Program, and Moderna, have shown that repeated administration of lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA therapy significantly extended survival and reduced serum.....»»
From embers to crisis: The expanding threat of wildfires under global warming
Globally, wildfires are on the rise, driven by climate change, which exacerbates droughts and high temperatures. These fires contribute significantly to carbon emissions and particulate matter (PM2.5), with severe consequences for both climate stabil.....»»
UK drops App Store investigation, says it has better things to do
