Science X Dialog
Science X Dialog is where researchers can share news and information about their own published journal articles.
How to apply
Dialog / For wave-particle duality and entanglement, progress is finally possible if we avoid the customary pitfalls
Photon duality remains a paradox because the photon is regarded as a simple, unitary object in space. Equally bad, massless radiation is interpreted via concepts drawn from mass-based physics.
Dialog / This super rare squid is a deep-sea mystery. We recently spotted not 1, but 5, in the Great Australian Bight
The mysterious bigfin squid has been spotted in Australia's waters for the first time. My colleagues and I from the CSIRO and Museums Victoria detail the encounters in our new research, published today in Public Library of ...
Dialog / Not singing in the rain: How climate change and increasing precipitation put a damper on songbird populations
North American grassland bird populations have decreased over 50% in the past 50 years, more than any other group of birds on the continent. What is driving these steep declines?
Dialog / Exoplanets are still out there—a new model tells astronomers where to look for more using 4 simple variables
Only 12 light years from Earth, Tau Ceti is the closest single star similar to the Sun and an all-time favorite in sci-fi stories. Habitable worlds orbiting Tau Ceti were destinations of fictional starships like "The Expanse"'s ...
Dialog / A way to turn urine into solid fertilizer that could make farming more sustainable
It's likely that most of the food you'll eat today was not farmed sustainably.
Dialog / Traceable microwave sensing reaches unprecedented sensitivities
Microwave sensors detect electromagnetic waves at frequencies starting from ~300 MHz up to the terahertz range. They allow us to survey remote terra incognita and detect faint radiations from distant galaxies in the universe. ...
Dialog / We studied mental toughness in ultra-marathon runners. Mind over matter is real—but won't take you all the way
For most people, running a marathon sounds like a lot of work—and they probably wouldn't even consider completing more than one within 24 hours.
Dialog / War in the time of Neanderthals: How our species battled for supremacy for over 100,000 years
Around 600,000 years ago, humanity split in two. One group stayed in Africa, evolving into us. The other struck out overland, into Asia, then Europe, becoming Homo neanderthalensis—the Neanderthals. They weren't our ancestors, ...
Dialog / Explaining dark matter without hypothetical undiscovered particles and without changing physical laws
The mysterious dark matter! The universe has five times more dark matter than normal matter. Dark matter is just as mysterious as the origin of the big bang.
Dialog / Reimagining the laser: New ideas from quantum theory could herald a revolution
Lasers were created 60 years ago this year, when three different laser devices were unveiled by independent laboratories in the United States. A few years later, one of these inventors called the unusual light sources "a ...
Dialog / Cool discovery: New studies confirm moon has ice on the sunlit surface
Water is more abundant on the moon than we might have suspected, according to two papers published today in Nature Astronomy that confirm the presence of ice on and near the lunar surface.
Dialog / Dark matter: Our method for catching ghostly halos could help unveil what it's made of
The search for dark matter—an unknown and invisible substance thought to make up the vast majority of matter in the universe—is at a crossroads. Although it was proposed nearly 70 years ago and has been searched for intensely—with ...
