The experiment may have detected the first direct detection of dark energy, the enigmatic factor that is speeding the expansion of the universe.
An experiment detected a strange signal that might point to dark energy instead of dark matter.
“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.”
Microbe found in cat poo could be harnessed to deliver large, complex proteins across the blood–brain barrier.
As a medical scientist, he looks at how new findings will help develop new treatments to revive people now considered hopeless and restore brain damage.
This finding may reinvent the understanding of chemical components, geography episodes and the history ofthe moon.
A combination of manufacturing techniques led to thin HTS film that delivered highest electric density and pinning forces for superconductor wire.
The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) has designed a new type of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment that could significantly reduce the cost to produce 7nm and smaller semiconductors, and thus revolutionize the chip manufacturing supply chain.
According to reports, the EUV equipment’s optical system is greatly simplified while power consumption is reduced by a factor of ten, raising the prospect of much cheaper advanced chip-making machines.
If so, it could mark the end of ASML’s monopoly on EUV lithography, which would have serious implications for semiconductor manufacturers, investors and governments.
The Cygnus spacecraft is filled with nearly 8,200 pounds of supplies, hardware and other critical materials for dozens of scientific and research experiments, according to NASA.
That includes tests for water recovery technology and supplies needed for a process to produce blood and immune stem cells in microgravity. Also included in the payload are materials to study the effects of spaceflight on engineered liver tissue and microorganism DNA, NASA said.
Work to get the Sierra Space spaceplane ready for its first flight are ongoing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a lot of work still lies ahead.
