This article was reviewed according to Science fact checked peer-reviewed publication trusted source proofread OK! For the past seventy years, astrophysicists have theorized the existence of ‘kugelblitze’, black holes caused by extremely high concentrations of light. They speculated that these special black holes may be related to astronomical phenomena such as dark matter, and that … Read more
When irradiated with infrared light, certain molecules, such as metal phthalocyanines, vibrate and generate small, local magnetic fields. Researchers have calculated these effects and want to experimentally prove and manipulate these fields for possible applications in quantum computing. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Physicists at TU Graz have determined that certain molecules can be stimulated by pulses of … Read more
The Standard Model of particle physics says that protons are stable and live forever, but it still has some shortcomings, especially in reconciling quantum mechanics with Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, which describes gravity. The proton decay hypothesis was first described by Andrei Sakharov in 1967, but despite experimental efforts, all means of finding evidence … Read more
The human brain does Said to be the most complex object in the known universe. Are 89 billion neurons each has an average of about 7,000 connections, and the physical structure of all these entities may be teetering dangerously on a razor’s edge, according to a new study. Two physicists from Northwestern University in the … Read more

Credit: Kaća Bradonjić According to the researchers, the universe could have produced microscopic black holes with enormous amounts of nuclear charge in the first quintillionth of a second. MIT … Read more
Researchers from KAIST, in collaboration with multiple institutions, have experimentally confirmed the three-dimensional vortex-shaped polarization distribution in ferroelectric nanoparticles. Using atomic electron tomography, they mapped atomic positions in barium titanate nanoparticles and calculated the internal polarization distribution. This finding confirms theoretical predictions from two decades ago and holds potential for the development of ultra-high-density memory … Read more
Researchers recently revealed new insights into exotic subatomic particles and the strong force. Their work predicts the existence of a new tetraquark, consisting of beauty and charm quarks and two light anti-quarks, using computational methods. This discovery advances our understanding of quantum chromodynamics and the composition of visible matter. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A new study reveals … Read more
