Phys.org / New framework unifies space and time in quantum systems
Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space and time has remained fundamentally disconnected. Relativity unifies space and time into a single ...
Phys.org / AMOC collapse simulations reveal what could happen to the ocean's carbon
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the system of currents responsible for shuttling warm water northward and colder, denser water to the south. This "conveyor belt" process helps redistribute heat, ...
Tech Xplore / Global aviation emissions could be halved through maximizing efficiency gains
A new study co-led by the University of Oxford has found that global aviation emissions could be reduced by 50–75% through combining three strategies to boost efficiency: flying only the most fuel-efficient aircraft, switching ...
Phys.org / Dual-layer filtration system blocks nanoplastics release from landfill leachate
UBC Okanagan researchers have created a new two-layer membrane filtration system that can significantly reduce the amount of micro and nanoplastics that leak from landfills into local water basins.
Medical Xpress / UK ex-servicewomen at higher risk of COPD
