Orbital mechanics is a fun subject, as it involves a lot of seemingly empty space that’s nevertheless full of very real forces, all of which must be taken into account …read more Continue reading Lagrange Points and Why You Want to Get Stuck At Them
Plastics are unfortunately so cheap useful that they’ve ended up everywhere. They’re filling our landfills, polluting our rivers, and even infiltrating our food chain as microplastics. As much as we …read more Continue reading Recycling Tough Plastics Into Precursors With Some Smart Catalyst Chemistry
John J. Hopfield of Princeton University and Geoffrey E. Hinton of the University of Toronto were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for their groundbreaking work in machine learning. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences recognized the scie… Continue reading Nobel Prize in Physics Goes To Machine Learning Pioneers Hopfield and Hinton
800,000 tons of rock have been excavated from a South Dakota research facility — part of a multi-year process “to help answer some of physics’ biggest questions,” writes America’s Energy Department.
“The caverns they excavated will hold a massi… Continue reading 800,000 Tons of Rock Excavated for Massive Underground Neutrino Detector
Space is a challenging environment for semiconductors, but researchers have shown that a specific type of memristor (the hafnium oxide memristor, to be exact) actually reacts quite usefully when exposed …read more Continue reading Memristors Are Cool, Radiation-resistant Memristors Even Moreso
An anonymous reader shares a report: The year 1963 was surely one of the most significant of the 20th century. President John F Kennedy was assassinated, Martin Luther King delivered his “I have a dream” speech, and the Beatles recorded and released th… Continue reading We May Have Passed Peak Obesity
Whether you’re a kid or a nerdy adult, you’ll probably agree that the interactive exhibitions at the museum are the best. If you happened to get down to the Oregon …read more Continue reading Interactive Project Teaches Lessons About Electromagnets And Waves
fjo3 shares a report from the BBC: They can walk, hover and the males can even sing love songs to woo mates — all this with a brain that’s tinier than a pinhead. Now for the first time scientists researching the brain of a fly have identified the posi… Continue reading Fly Brain Breakthrough ‘Huge Leap’ To Unlock Human Mind
Static electricity often just seems like an everyday annoyance when a wool sweater crackles as you pull it off, or when a doorknob delivers an unexpected zap. Regardless, the phenomenon …read more Continue reading Static Electricity And The Machines That Make It
To anyone who has spent some time in photovoltaic (PV) power circles, the word ‘perovskite’ probably sounds familiar. Offering arguably better bandgap properties than traditional silicon cells, perovskite-based PV panels …read more Continue reading First Tentative Sales of Tandem Perovskite-Silicon PV Panels
