This innovation holds the promise of significantly boosting the processing speed of computers while simultaneously decreasing their energy usage. The novel silicon-photonic (SiPh) chip marks a significant...
Teledyne FLIR, a defense contractor, has introduced its latest thermal sniper scope capable of tracking its own bullets during both day and night operations, with a range of up to 2,200 meters (1.3 miles). Debuting at the annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas, the ThermoSight HISS-HD empowers snipers and machine gunners to engage distant...
Fungal friend or foe? We may never knowLohit Y.T./WWF-India Researchers were astonished to observe a healthy frog with a small mushroom growing from its body, marking the first known instance of such an occurrence in live animal tissue. While fungal infections are relatively common in small animals, this growth seemed distinct from the parasitic types that...
Science offers insights into various aspects of romantic love, shedding light on the physiological, psychological, and social dimensions of this complex phenomenon. Here are some key findings: Brain Chemistry: Studies have shown that falling in love triggers the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin, which are associated with pleasure, bonding, and happiness. Attachment...
