Recap / Best of Last Week–How antimatter forms, world's first super telescope and why fathers treat toddler daughters different
(ScienceX)—It was another good week for physics as a team with the National Institute of Standards and Technology announced that they had developed a magnetic switch to turn on and off a strange quantum property in which ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – Using stars as random number generator, Antarctica greening and eye drops treat macular degeneration
(ScienceX)—It was a good week for physics as a team in China suggested that using stars as random number generators could test the foundations of physics by progressively addressing another loophole in the Bell tests. Also, ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – Violating Bell's inequality, oldest evidence of life on land and possibility of a cure for baldness
It was another good week for physics as a team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology found a way to control charged molecules—with quantum logic—by using the same type of logic that is behind experimental ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – Saturn's 'The Big Empty', a clue to where cancer metastases start and a pill that simulates exercise
(ScienceX)—It was a big week for space news as engineers at NASA reported that the Cassini probe found a vast void between Saturn's rings which they promptly dubbed "The Big Empty." Also, a team of researchers doing work ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – Caterpillars eating plastic, math describings time travel and testosterone's impact on male behavior
(ScienceX)—It was an interesting week for earth sciences as a team from Spain and the U.K. reported on a caterpillar that was found to eat shopping bags, suggesting a biodegradable solution to plastic pollution—the wax ...
Recap / Best of Last Week—Creating negative mass, consequences of drinking soda and isolating a higher state of consciousness
(ScienceX)—It was another good week for physics as a team at Washington State University announced that they had created 'negative mass'—a fluid that accelerates in the opposite direction of a force pushed against it. ...
Recap / Best of Last Week—Super-Earth atmosphere found, a Star Wars superlaser may be possible and Marmite as brain food
(ScienceX)—It was a good week for space news as a team of researchers in Europe announced that the detection of an atmosphere around a super-Earth—the finding around GJ 1132b was the first for a low-mass super-Earth. ...
Recap / Best of Last Week—Universe expansion rate sans dark energy, more deadly heat across planet and mental shortcuts
(ScienceX)—It was a very good week for physics as a Hungarian-American team of researchers took a stab at explaining the accelerating expansion of the universe without dark energy by taking into account its changing structure. ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – A comet landslide, evading Heisenberg principle and using natural brain opioids to combat anexiety
(ScienceX)—It was a good week for space science as a team working on data sent back to Earth in 2015 discovered that the Rosetta comet orbiter had filmed a deep-space landslide on the surface of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko—over ...
Recap / Best of Last Week–Wi-Fi on rays of light, running away from Einstein and a breakthrough in identifying heart attack risk
(ScienceX)—It was a good week for technology as a team with Eindhoven University of Technology announced that they had come up with Wi-Fi on rays of light—a wireless network based on infrared rays that is 100 times faster ...
Recap / Best of Last Week – Creating time crystals, growing potatoes on Mars and evidence the brain is much busier than thought
(ScienceX)—It was a good week for physics, as a team with members from Canada, Germany and the U.S. found it was possible to extend quantum machine learning to infinite dimensions using continuous variables instead of the ...
Recap / Best of Last Week–New form of matter, world's oldest fossil found and a new opioid that doesn't have any side efffects
It was another good week for physics as a team at MIT announced that they had created a new form of matter—a supersolid that was crystalline and superfluid at the same time—by manipulating the motion of atoms in a Bose-Einstein ...
