Recap / Best of Last Week – Speed of light drops to zero, new Egyptian dinosaur and cardiovascular benefits of sunlight
It was a good week for physics as a team with members from China and Spain generalized Hardy's paradox by showing an even stronger conflict between quantum and classical physics—and it extended to any number of particles. ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – Volunteers 200 days on moon base, better than hologram projection, memory benefits of curcumin
It was a good week for space news as a team of Chinese volunteers spent 200 days on a virtual 'moon base' as part of that country's goal of putting people on the moon. Also, a team at the Planetary Science Institute announced ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – Environmental impact of microwave ovens, decoding thoughts and flu transmission via breathing
It was good week for space research as an international team published new research that challenges existing models of black holes—they observed the magnetic field of a black hole within our own galaxy from multiple wavelengths ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – Creating negative mass, a recipe for starting life on Earth and fast food's impact on immune system
It was another good week for physics, as a team at the University of Rochester announced that they had created a device that creates negative mass, and along with it, a novel way to generate lasers. Their device works in ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – A system for studying four-dimensional physics, a moon event and how alcohol causes DNA damage
It was a good week for physics as a team with Griffith's Centre for Quantum Dynamics in Australia showed that quantum "spooky action at a distance" is becoming practical—they demonstrated a means for rigorously testing ...
Recap / Best of Last Week–An alternative explanation for cosmic acceleration, plants that glow and positive impact of journaling
(ScienceX)—It was a good week for physics as a team at Princeton University announced a new silicon structure that opens the gate to quantum computers—it could be used to precisely control quantum behavior between pairs ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – A new form of matter, saying hello to SIMPs and how exercise changes your gut biome
