image: “Recent advances in gene therapy offer great promise for patients with genetic diseases,” said University of Virginia School of Medicine researcher Manoj Patel, PhD. “Instead of dealing only with the effects, these methods help to focus directly on the cause of the cause – the pathogenic genetic change itself – which has a real … Read more
“Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may receive commissions or other income from these links.” Here’s what you’ll learn by reading this story: In the first world, scientists have experimentally confirmed the capture of the speed of atoms, a task that was only achieved with photons. Scientists from Australia and the US pulled off this tricky measurement … Read more
Researchers led by the University of Warwick have developed the first unified method to identify “space-time fluctuations” – small, random disturbances in the structure of space that appear in many attempts to link quantum physics with gravity. These minute changes were first proposed by physicist John Wheeler and are expected to appear in many leading … Read more
Researchers in the United States have revealed the secrets of superconductors with high temperatures. Researchers at the US Department of Energy (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered how small changes in the structure of superhydride enable high temperatures close to room temperature but extreme pressure – providing clues to designing more efficient superconductors. “These experiments … Read more
Proposals to install reflective mirrors and satellites up to 1m into low Earth orbit could have major implications for human health and the environment, leading sleep and circadian rhythm researchers have said. The presidents of four international scientific societies representing about 2,500 researchers from more than 30 countries are among those who expressed their concern … Read more
Researchers from the Department of Physics at the University of Warsaw, working with teams from the Łódź University of Technology, the Warsaw University of Technology, and the Polish Academy of Sciences, have created a structure that can capture infrared light with a layer of only 40 nanometers. Their method is based on a design known … Read more
Researchers have revealed that Jupiter’s upper atmosphere maintains a stable, planet-wide shape that has existed for many years. That acquisition takes the place of decades of flexibility that appears in a stable manner created by the enduring power of the body. Across the planet Across Jupiter’s hemisphere, the newly compiled map of the … Read more
Physicists have created a very precise and very complex atomic clock based on ytterbium, which can test the limits of the Standard Model and even search for invisible dark matter. Led by Taiki Ishiyama, PhD, a physicist at Kyoto University’s School of Science in Japan, the project used the unusual orbital change of atoms, which … Read more
The scale is attractive in its simplicity: AI needs more power than the world’s internet can provide, so it moves data centers into orbit, where the sun never sets and electricity is free. SpaceX, Blue Origin, and a growing constellation of startups are now racing to make that vision a reality. The problem, according to … Read more
Here’s what you’ll learn by reading this story: Scientists fired lasers at semiconductor nano-lasagna to show how electrons behave. In the right conditions, electrons become polarons, pulling oppositely charged atoms for a ride. The researchers took pictures of the newly born quasiparticle and measured its energy and mass. Scientists at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich … Read more
