New Parkinson’s treatment developed at Stanford could help millions

Two of the first patients of adaptive Deep Brain Sitimulation (aDBS) Parkinson’s therapy and the neurologist who developed the care system share how life changes and how it doesn’t when receiving the groundbreaking new FDA-approved treatment mitigating the most disruptive symptoms of the progressive neurological disease, which still has no cure.

Speed of quantum entanglement is measured, but it’s too fast for humans to understand

In the past, events that took place in a flash were considered instantaneous. Yet modern experiments show that even when particles seem to shift in the blink of an eye, as with quantum entanglement, there are measurable intervals involved.

These findings spark questions about how electrons leave atoms or how entangled pairs form, opening avenues for precise control in various applications.

New device could capture electricity from Earth’s rotational dynamics

However, their idea faced skepticism because conventional physics suggested it was impossible. The established theories indicated that any generated voltage would be nullified by electron rearrangement.

However, these researchers questioned this assumption.

They experimented to see if they could create electricity by using a specially designed hollow magnetic cylinder to capture energy using the Earth’s magnetic field.

Next-generation AI hardware: 3D photonic-electronic platform boosts efficiency and bandwidth

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems promise transformative advancements, yet their growth has been limited by energy inefficiencies and bottlenecks in data transfer. Researchers at Columbia Engineering have unveiled a groundbreaking solution: a 3D photonic-electronic platform that achieves unprecedented energy efficiency and bandwidth density, paving the way for next-generation AI hardware.

The study, “3D Photonics for Ultra-Low Energy, High Bandwidth-Density Chip Data Links,” led by Keren Bergman, Charles Batchelor Professor of Electrical Engineering, is published in Nature Photonics.

The research details a pioneering method that integrates photonics with advanced complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) electronics to redefine energy-efficient, high-bandwidth data communication. This innovation addresses critical challenges in data movement, a persistent obstacle to realizing faster and more efficient AI technologies.

Ghost Particles in the Deep Are Unlocking Secrets of Quantum Gravity

Scientists are diving into the deep sea to study one of the universe’s biggest mysteries—quantum gravity.

Using KM3NeT, a vast underwater neutrino telescope, researchers are watching ghost-like particles that may hold the key to uniting the physics of the very large and the very small. By analyzing how neutrinos oscillate—or don’t—during their journey through space, they’re searching for subtle signs of decoherence, a possible effect of quantum gravity.

A tiny particle and a big physics puzzle.

US-built fusion reactor structure delivered for 60-ft-tall ITER magnet

Fusion is inching closer to reality with continuous development in this field as the United States Domestic Agency for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) recently completed the delivery of critical components for the support structure of central solenoid.

Described as an exoskeleton, or a cage, the support structure surrounds the central solenoid, which is a 60-foot-tall superconducting magnet at the heart of the ITER fusion machine.

Gemini South Observes Ultra-Hot Nova Erupting With Surprising Chemical Signature

Astronomers uncover extremely hot and violent eruption from first ever near-infrared analysis of a recurrent nova outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Using the Gemini South telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, partly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and operated by NSF NOIRLab, and the Magellan Baade Telescope, astronomers have for the first time observed a recurring nova outside of the Milky Way in near-infrared light. The data revealed highly unusual chemical emissions as well as one of the hottest temperatures ever reported for a nova, both indicative of an extremely violent eruption.

Nova explosions occur in binary star systems in which a white dwarf — the dense remnant of a dead star — continually siphons stellar material from a nearby companion star. As the outer atmosphere of the companion gathers onto the surface of the white dwarf it reaches temperatures hot enough to spark an eruption.

Almost all novae discovered to-date have been observed to erupt only once. But a few have been observed to erupt more than once, and are classified as recurrent novae. The span between eruptions for these novae can vary from as little as one year to many decades [1].
