Groundbreaking technique yields important new details on possible ‘fifth force’
Posted by Liliana Alfair in categories: computing, particle physics, quantum physics
Researchers uncovered new information about an important subatomic particle and a long-theorized fifth force of nature.
A group of researchers have used a groundbreaking new technique to reveal previously unrecognized properties of technologically crucial silicon crystals and uncovered new information about an important subatomic particle and a long-theorized fifth force of nature.
The research was an international collaboration conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Dmitry Pushin, a member of the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing and a faculty member in Waterloo’s Department of Physics and Astronomy, was the only Canadian researcher involved in the study. Pushin was interested in producing high-quality quantum sensors out of perfect crystals.

Genius or flop? Dyson unveils bizarre headphones with air filter
Posted by Gemechu Taye in category: wearables
Try to get your head around that — or not. The concept of combining noise-cancelling headphones with a built-in air purifier sounds like something out of a dystopian sci-fi film taking place in a world with high-tech but poor air quality. However, it’s actually a real device — one that you’ll soon be able to buy.
The Dyson Zone™ is Dyson’s first wearable purifier, capturing city pollution including gas, allergens and particulate matter and cancelling unwanted noise with advanced noise cancellation and pure, high-fidelity audio.
