Immediately after the Big Bang, which occurred around 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was dominated by unimaginably high temperatures and densities. However, after just a few seconds, it had cooled down enough for the first elements to form, primarily hydrogen and helium. These were still completely ionized at this point, as it took almost 380,000 years for the temperature …

Our usual understanding of sleep starts with the brain and ends with the mattress, yet new evidence points to a far smaller arena. Two hundredths of a millimeter below the surface of a nerve cell, the mitochondria may be counting the minutes we stay awake, then ordering the lights out. A team working with Drosophila melanogaster shows that the same …

Recently, Professor Dong Eon Kim from POSTECH’s Department of Physics and Max Planck Korea-POSTECH Initiative and his research team have succeeded in unraveling for the first time the mystery of the ‘electron tunneling’ process, a core concept in quantum mechanics, and confirmed it through experiments. This study was published in the international journal Physical Review Letters and is attracting attention …

Formula 1’s fundamental problem of poor visibility in wet weather racing cannot be solved with the current ground effect cars. That is the reality that F1 has to accept after a Belgian Grand Prix weekend where the debate about racing in the rain returned and solutions to help the situation have been called for again. The delays in getting Sunday’s …

PHILADELPHIA – Day 3 of Eagles training camp came and went on Saturday, which bled into Sunday’s first day off. It’s early, but the same three concerns the Eagles entered camp with have yet to sort themselves out. They may even be more concerning. Is there enough on the edge? That was probably the top issue coming into camp. It …

Century-Old Quantum Mystery Solved: Scientists Finally See Inside the Electron’s “Tunnel”  SciTechDaily Source link

A long-standing mystery about the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on Jupiter’s icy ocean moon Europa may be closer to being solved. Hydrogen peroxide forms as a byproduct when energetic particles break apart water molecules, leading to the recombination of OH radicals — highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons. H2O2 was first observed on Europa by the Galileo Near Infrared …

“This estimate shows that there is more plastic in the form of nanoparticles floating in the this part of the ocean, than there is in larger micro- or macroplastics floating in the Atlantic or even all the world’s oceans!,” said Helge Niemann, researcher at NIOZ and professor of geochemistry at Utrecht University. Mid-June, he received a grant of 3.5 million …

A breakthrough by Penn State student Divya Tyagi has brought new life to a century-old mathematical problem, offering a fresh solution with major implications for wind turbine design and renewable energy. Tyagi, a graduate student in aerospace engineering, has refined an equation originally introduced by British aerodynamicist Hermann Glauert, which could reshape the future of wind energy. Revamping a 100-Year-Old …
