An international team of researchers out of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, has demonstrated a new approach for converting ordinary laser light into genuine quantum light. Their approach uses nanometer-thick films made of gallium arsenide, which is a semiconductor material widely used in solar cells. They sandwich the thin films between two mirrors to manipulate ...
Before Dr. Masuru Emoto proposed that human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water, Austrian naturalist Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) said something far more fascinating. He theorized that water is alive. Viktor Schauberger’s living water “Were water actually what hydrologists deem it to be — a chemically inert substance — then a long ...
Forest fires are more harmful than previously imagined, causing stunted growth in children who are exposed to the harmful smoke while in the womb during pregnancy, according to new research from Duke University and the National University of Singapore. The authors found prenatal exposure to haze from forest fires led to a statistically significant 1.3-inch decrease ...
What’s the coldest place you can think of? Temperatures on a winter day in Antarctica dip as low as −120ºF (−85ºC). On the dark side of the Moon, they hit −280ºF (−173ºC). But inside NASA’s Cold Atom Laboratory on the International Space Station, scientists are creating something even colder. The Cold Atom Lab (CAL) is ...
A small percentage of Americans, less than 9 percent, shared links to so-called “fake news” sites on Facebook during the 2016 presidential election campaign, but this behavior was disproportionately common among people over the age of 65, finds a new analysis by researchers at New York University’s Social Media and Political Participation (SMaPP) Lab and ...
The United States has proposed the construction of a lunar orbit station and has asked Russia to participate in the venture. However, Russia has held off committing to the project until the concept for its national Moon exploration is completed. The concept is expected to be ready by March this year. Russia believes that its ...
The creation of robots that mimic human movements perfectly has been a long-standing dream of scientists all across the world. Boston Dynamics from Massachusetts is a robotics company that is taking humanity closer to such a goal. Atlas from Boston Dynamics is a humanoid that not only fascinates but terrifies because of its immense potential ...
Rice University scientists have created a rubbery, shape-shifting morphing material that morphs from one sophisticated form to another on demand. The shapes programmed into a polymer by materials scientist Rafael Verduzco and graduate student Morgan Barnes appear in ambient conditions and melt away when heat is applied. The process also works in reverse. The smooth ...
Dark matter is supposed to account for 85 percent of all matter in the universe. Despite such widespread presence, scientists have not been able to detect any dark matter even though countless man-hours have been spent on the quest. Now, new research suggests that it might be a good idea to look for dark matter ...
On Nov. 22, 2014, astronomers spotted a rare event in the night sky: A supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy, nearly 300 million light-years from Earth, ripping apart a passing star. The event, known as a tidal disruption flare, for the black hole’s massive tidal pull that tears a star apart, created ...
