Phys.org / Real-life experiment shows Niels Bohr was right in a theoretical debate with Einstein
Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to disprove the quantum mechanical principle of complementarity put forth by Niels Bohr and his school ...
Tech Xplore / Low-cost gelators nearly double the performance of aircraft anti-icing fluids, finds new study
Tiny molecules already used to thicken everyday products like lotions and adhesives may soon help keep aircraft safe in icy conditions. These molecules, known as low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs), can self-assemble into ...
Phys.org / Physicists repair flaw of established quantum resource theorem
Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the past decades, researchers have introduced several new quantum information frameworks and theories ...
Phys.org / Sunlight-driven nanoparticles enable cleaner ammonia synthesis at room temperature
Ammonia (NH3) is a colorless chemical compound comprised of nitrogen and hydrogen that is widely used in agriculture and in industrial settings. Among other things, it is used to produce fertilizers, as well as cleaning products ...
Phys.org / Einstein Probe detects an X-ray flare from nearby star
Using the Einstein Probe (EP), astronomers have detected a new X-ray transient event, which turned out to be an X-ray flare from the star PM J23221-0301 located about 150 light years away. The finding was reported in a research ...
Medical Xpress / Cardiovascular risk score identifies risk for ocular disease
The Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE) cardiovascular risk score stratifies risk for multiple ocular diseases, according to a study published online in Ophthalmology.
Tech Xplore / Review: These are the best plug-in hybrids for under $55,000
If an electric car stirs your interest but the lifestyle changes sound daunting, consider a plug-in hybrid. A plug-in hybrid is simply a rechargeable hybrid, with a larger battery than a standard hybrid that enables a short ...
