Black holes, regions of spacetime in which gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, are intriguing and extensively studied cosmological phenomena. Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts that when two black ...

Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by physicist Peter Debye in 1912, describes the contribution of phonons to the specific heat of materials ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia, are medical conditions that entail the progressive loss of neurons and a decline in brain function. Past studies have found a link between these diseases ...

Electrolyzers, devices that use electricity to drive desired chemical reactions, could enable the production of clean hydrogen (H2) gas from water (H2O) and the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful fuels or industrial ...

Quantum computers, machines that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers on some optimization tasks and computations. Despite their potential, quantum computers are ...

Adolescence, the life stage that marks the transition between childhood and adulthood, is known to be a vital period for the brain's development. During this critical phase, people's mental abilities, including their problem-solving ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, particularly artificial neural networks, have proved to be highly promising tools for uncovering patterns in large amounts of data that would otherwise be difficult to detect. Over the ...

Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or behavior. Specifically, studies show that under magnetic fields above 100 tesla (T), spins (i.e., intrinsic ...

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are engineered structures comprised of several elements known as 'meta-atoms,' which can reshape and control electromagnetic waves in real-time. These surfaces could contribute to ...

Past psychology studies suggest that people tend to remember emotional events, such as their wedding, the birth of a child or traumatic experiences, more vividly than neutral events, such as a routine professional meeting. ...

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are promising rechargeable batteries in which conventional liquid electrolytes are replaced with solid materials. These batteries could help to safely meet the growing demands of the electronics ...

Depression is one of the most widespread mental health disorders worldwide, characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, a loss of interest in everyday activities, dysregulated sleep or eating patterns and other impairments. ...

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are currently the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide, powering countless portable electronics, as well as hybrid and electric vehicles. While they are known to have notable advantages ...

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, allowing researchers to map the brain's structure and synaptic connectivity (i.e., the junctions via which neurons communicate with each ...

Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in a random way. These random interactions between spins make it impossible for all spins to satisfy ...
