Recently, the theory of Hawking radiation of a black hole has been tested in several analogue platforms. Shi et al. report a fermionic-lattice model realization of an analogue black hole using a chain of superconducting transmon qubits with tuneable couplers and show the stimulated Hawking radiation.
Eating nutritious food has been shown time and time again to help improve metabolic health and delay aging. But what the appropriate quantities of these dietary macronutrients are has received somewhat varying results.
To investigate what they might be researchers from Waseda University fed isocaloric diets with varying amounts of protein to mice, and their findings are published in GeroScience. According to the researchers, the animals were found to be metabolically healthier when they were fed moderate protein diets, and these findings could provide insight into developing nutritional interventions as well as to improving metabolic health in people.
The types of food that we eat influence our health and longevity from the time we are born all the way through our time on this planet. There is a direct association between age-related nutritional requirements and metabolic health, and maintaining optimal nutrition according to age can help maintain metabolic health improving both healthspan and lifespan.
Hundreds of physicists met in London this week for the ninth Future Circular Collider (FCC) Conferen.
Matter in space can arise out of what we perceive as nothing. But there is no such thing as a void in the Universe.
Scientists are working on bringing a tractor beam from science fiction to reality. Yes, seriously.
Apple’s new Vision Pro headset can scan a user’s face and use advanced machine learning to create a photorealistic “Persona” of them for video calls. And in a future visionOS update, these avatars will become even more realistic.
Imagine building a billion-dollar company that competes with the biggest companies in the industry, and doing it with a modest 3 person team powered by AI.
We’re living through a time of rapid change and endless possibilities and opportunities, what are you going to do about it?
While the fear of AI has a lot of people scrambling, anxious, or in denial about the implications of AI in their life and ability to earn a living and provide for their families, there are people like Peter Diamandis, Salim Ismail, and Tom Bilyeu that are going to leverage AI to the max to create a massive impact. Peter Diamondis and Salim Ismail have co-authored the book Exponential Organizations 2.0 where they break down the framework and key differences to exponential growth and success between Fortune 500 companies and some of the most successful unicorn companies of our time.
Black holes, cosmic power stations, fuel the luminosity of quasars and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) through their intricate interaction of matter, gravity, and magnetic forces. Despite black holes themselves not possessing a magnetic field, the surrounding dense plasma in the accretion disc does. As this plasma orbits the black hole, its charged particles generate an electric current and consequently a magnetic field.
This magnetic field, assumed to be stable due to the unvarying plasma flow, caused scientists to scratch their heads when they found evidence of its directional change. Such a phenomenon, known as a magnetic reversal, is akin to an imaginary pole of a magnet switching from north to south or vice versa. While not uncommon in stars, and even witnessed in the Sun’s 11-year sunspot cycle or Earth’s infrequent magnetic shifts, such an event was thought improbable for supermassive black holes.
In 2018, a computer-aided sky survey detected a startling transformation in a galaxy 239 million light-years away named 1ES 1927+654, which had suddenly become a hundredfold brighter. Swift Observatory soon reported x-ray and ultraviolet light emissions from this region. Initial speculations suggested a tidal disruption event caused by a star venturing too close to the galaxy’s central supermassive black hole, disrupting gas flow into the accretion disc, as the reason for this unusual luminosity.
This image of galaxy cluster MACS J1206.2–0847 (or MACS 1,206 for short) is part of a broad survey with NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.
The distorted shapes in the cluster are distant galaxies from which the light is bent by the gravitational pull of an invisible material called dark matter within the cluster of galaxies. This cluster is an early target in a survey that will allow astronomers to construct the most detailed dark matter maps of more galaxy clusters than ever before.
These maps are being used to test previous, but surprising, results that suggest that dark matter is more densely packed inside clusters than some models predict. This might mean that galaxy cluster assembly began earlier than commonly thought.
The Honda Riding Assist is an electric vehicle that has a low center-of-gravity and a very low seat height. In a global debut at CES, Honda unveiled the Honda Riding Assist motorcycle, which leverages our robotics technology to create a self-balancing motorcycle that greatly reduces the possibility of failing over while the motorcycle is at rest.
