Researchers in Australia have successfully created ‘quantum entangled states’ between two distant atoms in silicon. Engineers from the University of New South Wales were able to create the entangled states using electrons as a bridge. Quantum entangled state is a physics phenomenon where two separate particles become so deeply linked that they no longer behave independently. The step achieved by …

Deep below the seabed, 80 miles off the coast of Yorkshire, is a remarkable crater that has divided scientists – was it, thrillingly, created by an asteroid crash? Or more mundanely was it the result of geological salt movements? Today, the decades-long scientific debate can be settled. The Silverpit crater 700 metres below the seabed under the North Sea was …

Earth has a new friend — and it’s been waiting for us to notice it for decades. In a new study published in the journal Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society, astronomers report the discovery of a mysterious object that appears to be a “quasi-moon,” or a small asteroid that orbits the Sun, but in an arc that puts it …

Photo Credit: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory In 2022, scientists at California’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory had a historic scientific breakthrough when they managed to achieve fusion “ignition” for the very first time.  The process involved firing 192 extremely powerful lasers at a tiny capsule containing fusion fuel. Once the lasers entered it, the result was a 3-million-degree oven that heated …

Mayo Clinic researchers have pinpointed how excessive alcohol consumption contributes to fatty liver disease, a condition that affects more than one in three people in the U.S. Also known as Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease, it is a long-lasting disease that can lead to type 2 diabetes and even liver cancer. Excessive alcohol can contribute to this fatty disease …

Images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS snapped during the September 7 total lunar eclipse seem to suggest that the latest visitor to the Solar System may be turning green. That’s not all that strange for a comet. Many Solar System comets give off a green glow when they heat up enough to emit vapor. However, for 3I/ATLAS, it might be quite …

When you push the right controller stick forwards, do you expect a game camera to move up or down? Whether players use “normal” or “inverted” camera controls has long been a point of debate. Now, though, it’s part of a scientific study. As reported by The Guardian, Dr Jennifer Corbett and Dr Jaap Munneke at Brunel University London initiated a …

IN A NUTSHELL 🔋 Scientists discover that scandium doping significantly enhances sodium-ion battery performance and structural integrity. 🧪 The study addresses the issue of rapid capacity fading in sodium manganese oxide cathodes. 🔍 Introduction of scandium helps preserve the structural integrity of the P′2 polytype cathode material. 🌍 The research presents a new strategy for improving the stability of layered …

Rocks formed immediately before and after non-avian dinosaurs went extinct are strikingly different, and now, tens of millions of years later, scientists think they’ve identified the culprit—and it wasn’t the Chicxulub asteroid impact. In a study published Monday in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, researchers argue that dinosaurs physically influenced their surroundings so dramatically that their disappearance led to …
