Warp Bubbles: Scientists May Have Found a Real Pathway to Light-Speed Travel. Here is some key information for you to watch before deciding to read the whole article. Thanks for visiting us!
In 2020, physicist Harold “Sonny” White discovered a peculiar energy pattern that resembled a potential nanoscale warp bubble—the first real hint toward faster-than-light travel.
Scientists demonstrate highly selective catalyst for low-temperature, direct conversion of natural gas to liquid fuel.
What happens to our bodies when we don’t see any sunlight?
Simple tricks to fight your winter blues and restore your energy as darker days set in.
It is important to have a mechanism that forms Mass, because if we had a concept of how Mass is formed it would give us a deeper understanding of gravity and help us unity Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
In this theory Mass increases with speed, because Photon ∆E=hf energy is continuously transforming potential energy into the kinetic energy of matter in the form of electrons.
At low speed kinetic energy is one-half the mass times the velocity squared Eₖ=½mv², but at higher speed the curve for increasing energy starts to look just like the curve for increasing Mass.
This is why energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared E=MC²
Tesla’s Megapack grid-scale storage systems have been selected for yet another solar energy and storage project, this time set to be installed in Chile.
Chilean energy storage developer Colbún has announced plans to install over 200 Tesla Megapacks as part of the 228 MW/912 MWh Celda Solar project in the northern part of the country, as detailed in a press release shared this week. The site will be constructed in the Camarones, Arica and Parinacota region, and the company estimates the total cost to be around $260 million.
“Energy storage will play an increasing role in the Chilean electricity system, allowing solar energy generated during the day to be accumulated and supplied to the system at night,” writes José Ignacio Escobar, Colbún CEO, as translated into English from Spanish. “Our energy stored in the reservoirs in the south complements perfectly with the energy that we will store in our batteries in the north, thus having a safe, diversified and competitive offer for our clients from Arica to Puerto Montt.”

To harness the power of the sun and make sugars for energy storage, plants use photosynthesis. But some plants are more efficient at it than others. For the first time, researchers have identified a key step in the transformation between old-fashioned C3 photosynthesis and new and improved C4 photosynthesis — which could lead to the development of more efficient, more resilient “super crops,” SciTechDaily reports.
Scientists at the Salk Institute in San Diego, California, collaborated with researchers at the University of Cambridge to make the breakthrough, charting the evolution of plants over millions of years.
While 95% of plants use C3 photosynthesis, SciTechDaily explained, a new group of plants evolved to use C4 photosynthesis around 30 million years ago.
Solid-state lithium batteries are promising energy storage solutions that utilize solid electrolytes as opposed to the liquid or gel electrolytes found in traditional lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). Compared to LiBs and other batteries that are used worldwide, these batteries could attain significantly higher energy densities of more than 500 Wh/kg−1 and 1,000 Wh/l−1, which could be advantageous for powering electric vehicles and other electronics for longer periods of time.
Despite their possible advantages, existing solid-state lithium batteries exhibit significant limitations that have so far prevented their large-scale deployment. These include the active lithium loss that can occur while the batteries are charged and discharged, which can reduce their efficiency and overall performance.
This loss of lithium is caused by an inhomogeneous lithium plating. Devising effective strategies and thin lithium metal foils that could limit the loss of lithium in solid-state batteries is thus a key goal for the energy research community.
BERKELEY, Calif., Dec. 19, 2024 — Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) used lasers and a supersonic sheet of gas to accelerate a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts (eV) in just 30 cm. The energy and quality of the beam is a significant improvement compared to previous efforts.

Child mortality in conflict settings was 8 percent, compared with 1.1 percent in peaceful countries.
It also said that 83.2 percent of the world’s poorest people live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
The index, compiled jointly with the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), used indicators such as a lack of adequate housing, sanitation, electricity, cooking fuel, nutrition and school attendance to assess levels of “multidimensional poverty”
