This LHP (loop heat pipe) is unprecedented in transporting such a large amount of heat without electricity.

In a groundbreaking development, scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have created the world’s most powerful loop heat pipe (LHP), capable of transporting an astounding 10 kilowatts of heat without using any electricity. This innovation promises to revolutionize energy efficiency across multiple industries, from electric vehicles to data centers.

Understanding Loop Heat Pipes

Before delving into the significance of this breakthrough, let’s explore what loop heat pipes are and how they work. LHPs are passive heat transfer devices that use the principles of phase change and capillary action to move heat from one place to another. They consist of an evaporator, a condenser, and connecting pipes filled with a working fluid.

Stress sensitive neural circuits change the gut microbiome and the duodenal glands.

Precision mapping of a gut-brain circuit w/ functional impact.

Glands in the small intestine (Brunner’s) have GLP-1 receptors, are stress-sensitive, connect to the brain via the vagal nerve, modulate bacterial…

Stress leads to disarray of the gut microbiome, which in turn causes inflammation and a drop in the body’s ability to fend off infection.

“The moment when we wrote down the terms of this equation and saw that it all clicked together, it felt pretty incredible,” Wordsworth said. “It’s a result that finally shows us how directly the quantum mechanics links to the bigger picture.”

In some ways, he said, the calculation helps us understand climate change better than any computer model. “It just seems to be a fundamentally important thing to be able to say in a field that we can show from basic principles where everything comes from.”

New: 3 OpenAI leaders are leaving.

President Greg Brockman going on extended leave, John Shulman to rival Anthropic, and product leader Peter Deng is also out.

(Reuters) — John Schulman, one of the co-founders of artificial intelligence company OpenAI, has left the ChatGPT maker for rival Anthropic, he said in a post on social media platform X late Monday.

“This choice stems from my desire to deepen my focus on AI alignment, and to start a new chapter of my career where I can return to hands-on technical work,” Schulman said in his X post.

OpenAI’s President and co-founder Greg Brockman is also taking a sabbatical through the end of the year, he said in a X post late Monday.

Innovative techniques being developed to detect gravitational waves beyond the current capabilities of laser interferometers like LIGO and Virgo.

That rare bright spot looks set to become brighter.

All of the more than 100 gravitational-wave events spotted so far have been just a tiny sample of what physicists think is out there. The window opened by LIGO and Virgo was rather narrow, limited mostly to frequencies in the range 100–1,000 hertz. As pairs of heavy stars or black holes slowly spiral towards each other, over millions of years, they produce gravitational waves of slowly increasing frequency, until, in the final moments before the objects collide, the waves ripple into this detectable range. But this is only one of many kinds of phenomenon that are expected to produce gravitational waves.

LIGO and Virgo are laser interferometers: they work by detecting small differences in travel time for lasers fired along perpendicular arms, each a few kilometres long. The arms expand and contract by minuscule amounts as gravitational waves wash over them. Researchers are now working on several next-generation LIGO-type observatories, both on Earth and, in space, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna; some have even proposed building one on the Moon¹. Some of these could be sensitive to gravitational waves at frequencies as low as 1 Hz.
