Scientists have developed a heat pump that uses light particles on a quantum range. Scientists can currently measure radio frequency signals closer to the quantum limit. Professionals say this technique works in searching for dark matter, a component of the universe whose existence is discernible primarily by its gravitational attraction. 30.1 percent of the...
Credit: DodgeFor those lamenting the impending end of Dodge's gas-powered muscle car, the Dodge has a message: fear not the future, for it is electric.At an event at its Pontiac, Michigan-based base, Dodge unveiled its first electric muscle car, the Charger Daytona SRT concept. The two-door coupe is a sneak peek at the car manufacturer's first...
A team of physicists from UNLV's Nevada Extreme Conditions Lab (NEXCL) used a diamond anvil cell, a research device similar to the one pictured, in their research to lower the pressure needed to observe a material capable of room-temperature superconductivity.

TikTok is revising the regulations for how we develop, share and find visual content. The TikTok algorism, specifically the "For You Page" (FYP) feed, has altered the game for social media networks propelling entertainment and discovery to the forefront.In this article, I am diving into the rise and fall of social media, what led...
The L3 HAPLS at ELI Beamlines Research Center in the Czech Republic. Credit: ELI BeamlinesLawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have developed a compact multi-petawatt laser that uses plasma transmission gratings to overcome the power restrictions of traditional solid-state optical gratings. The design might allow the construction of an ultrafast laser up to 1,000...
Neuralink, a company co-founded by Elon Musk, has been working on an implantable brain machine interface since 2016. While it previously showed its progress by showing a Macaque ape managing the cursor in a game of Pong, it still has to start human tests. Now, according to Reuters, Elon Musk has reached out to...
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has declined Starlink's application for $885 million in federal subsidies to provide satellite internet to broadband consumers in rural areas. The FCC points out the SpaceX-owned firm's $600 dish and states that Starlink "failed to demonstrate" that it "could deliver the promised service."The financing is part of a wider $9.2 billion...
Eutelsat plans to expand beyond the TV market. Credit: EutelsatOneWeb, the London-based satellite firm that was once on the verge of bankruptcy and then partially saved by the British government, is to merge with Paris-headquartered Eutelsat.The French company (Eutelsat) already owned a 23% stake in the UK firm.As stated by the operators, the joint...
Mehau Kulyk / Science SourceThe solutions to Einstein's formulas that describe a spinning black holes will not explode, even when poked or prodded.In 1963, the mathematician Roy Kerr discovered a solution to Einstein's formulas that precisely described the space-time outside what we currently call a rotating black hole. (The term wouldn't be created for...
Two neutron stars collide; the resulting gravitational wave spread at the speed of light. Credit: National Science Foundation/LIGO/Sonoma State University/A. Simonne.The dead cores of 2 stars collided 130 million yrs earlier in a galaxy somewhat far away.The crash was so extreme that it originated a wrinkle in space-time-- a gravitational wave. That gravitational wave...
