Mysterious structures 10,000 feet deep under the Pacific could emit over $5 billion worth of hydrogen every year

Mysterious structures 10,000 feet deep under the Pacific could emit over  billion worth of hydrogen every year

Scientists aboard the submersible Fendouzhe have made an extraordinary discovery in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. At over 3,000 meters below the surface, researchers have identified massive hydrogen-producing structures that could revolutionize our understanding of deep-sea energy sources. This remarkable finding, located west of the Mussau Trench, represents one of the most significant geological discoveries of recent years. The site, christened …

Electronics breakthrough means our devices may one day no longer emit waste heat, scientists say

Electronics breakthrough means our devices may one day no longer emit waste heat, scientists say

Researchers have developed a breakthrough technology that solves a fundamental limit in electronics. This new technology, dubbed an “optoexcitonic switch,” could lead to a new class of electronics — ranging from phones and PCs to data centers and quantum computers that can operate at without generating waste heat. The new switch works like a conventional electronic switch, which uses an …

Our brains emit light and glow in the dark, revealing our mindset

Our brains emit light and glow in the dark, revealing our mindset

All living tissues give off photons as excited molecules shed excess energy. The phenomenon is so subtle – roughly a million times dimmer than the threshold of human vision – that researchers call it ultra-weak photon emission (UPE). Because the brain consumes an exceptionally high metabolic budget and is packed with photoactive compounds such as flavins and serotonin, scientists have …

Peacock feathers can emit laser beams

Peacock feathers can emit laser beams

Peacock feathers are greatly admired for their bright iridescent colors, but it turns out they can also emit laser light when dyed multiple times, according to a paper published in the journal Scientific Reports. Per the authors, it’s the first example of a biolaser cavity within the animal kingdom. As previously reported, the bright iridescent colors in things like peacock …
