Researchers from Duke University and associated partners have uncovered the atomic mechanics that render a group of substances, known as argyrodites, promising prospects for solid-state battery electrolytes and thermoelectric energy converters.

Their findings, made possible through a machine learning.

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that deals with the development of algorithms and statistical models that enable computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so. Machine learning is used to identify patterns in data, classify data into different categories, or make predictions about future events. It can be categorized into three main types of learning: supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning.

A new study published in Psychological Science investigated the relationship between loneliness, brain activity, and social interactions. The results suggest that individuals who experience loneliness may process social information differently from those who do not, contributing to feelings of isolation and disconnection.

The study highlights the importance of social connection for psychological well-being. It emphasizes the need for further research in this area to develop effective interventions to help individuals experiencing loneliness improve their social connections and overall quality of life.

By using error mitigation, IBM scientists believe they’ve worked around the quantum noise that plagues quantum processors.

Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are closing in on an explanation for why we live in a universe of matter and not antimatter.

Matter and antimatter are two sides of the same coin. Every type of particle has an anti-particle, which is its equal and opposite. For instance, the antimatter equivalent of a negatively charged electron is a positively charged positron.

A team of scientists have successfully demonstrated the world’s first cosmic-ray GPS to detect movement underground and in volcanoes which can potentially aid in future search-and-rescue missions.

Cosmic rays are high-energy particles originating from outer space, including sources such as the sun, distant galaxies, supernovae, and other celestial bodies. Although we can’t see or feel cosmic rays directly, they constantly bombard the Earth from outer space.

In fact, these particles are so abundant that scientists estimate one cosmic ray hits one square centimeter of the Earth’s surface every minute! Scientists study cosmic rays to learn about the universe and how particles interact at high energies.

University of Chicago physicists have finally engineered a way to create turbulence in a tank of water by using a ring of jets to blow loops until an isolated “ball” of turbulence forms and stays.

This is according to a press release by ABB published on Tuesday.

NASA recently announced its Wallops Visitor Center won’t be open for the mission and ‘there is no live stream planned for launch’.

Rocket Lab will launch a mission from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia within the next few days, but the company has not disclosed what it is lifting to orbit and it won’t stream the mission live.

NASA announced via Twitter on Tuesday, June 13, that its Wallops facility is “scheduled to support a Rocket Lab launch between June 15–20 in the evening.”

Vladimir Putin confirmed Russia has sent nuclear arms to its ally Belarus, which borders Ukraine. Putin has repeatedly warned that Russia, which has more nuclear weapons than any other country, will use all means to defend itself. Russia has a huge numerical superiority over the united states and the nato military alliance when it comes to tactical nuclear weapons. The united states believe Russia has around 2,000 such working tactical warheads. Reports say, the united states has around 200 tactical nuclear weapons, half of which are at bases in Europe. Remember, Belarus has borders with 3 nato members — Poland, Lithuania & Latvia. The treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, signed by the soviet union, says no nuclear power can transfer nuclear weapons or tech to a non-nuclear power.
