Our universe may have an anti-universe twin on the other side of the Big Bang, say physicists

Posted by in categories: cosmology, particle physics

It’s possible that our universe is the antimatter counterpart of an antimatter universe that existed earlier in time than the Big Bang. So claim physicists in Canada, who have devised a new cosmological model positing the existence of a “antiuniverse” which, paired to our own, preserves a fundamental rule of physics called CPT symmetry. Though many details in their theory still need to be worked out, the researchers claim that it naturally explains the existence of dark matter.

According to standard cosmological models, the universe—which consists of space, time, and mass/energy—exploded into being about 14 billion years ago. Since then, it has expanded and cooled, causing subatomic particles, atoms, stars, and planets to gradually form.

China opens world’s biggest solar farm that spreads over 200,000 acres

Posted by in categories: solar power, sustainability

China has just connected what it believes to be the world’s biggest solar power plant to the grid in northwestern Xinjiang. The plant covers an area of 200,000 acres and is reported to have an output of 6.09 billion kWh annually.

The new plant is in the deserts near the region’s capital Ürümqi. The site came online this Monday (June 3) and is being run by the Chinese state-owned Power Construction Corporation, according to Reuters.

Revolutionary thin film can add night vision to normal glasses

Posted by in category: entertainment

The new ultra-light night vision filters which weigh less than a gram almost resemble those seen in the movies. These glasses allow users to catch a glimpse of the visible and infrared spectrum. They also help in allowing the user to drive safely in the dark.

As of now, traditional night vision technology is in use. It required infrared photons to pass through a lens. Then it would meet a photocathode that would help in transforming these photons into electrons.

These electrons travel through a phosphor screen and are reconverted back to photons. These produce an intensely visible image which the human eye can see. In order to prevent thermal noise from being intensified these elements need cryogenic cooling.

MIT-backed first-of-its-kind headband offers drug-free sleep solution

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, mobile phones, neuroscience, wearables

The Elemind headband is a soft, lightweight, and flexible wearable designed to be worn throughout the night, regardless of one’s sleeping position. It can collect information using brainwaves and pairs with a smartphone, where users can find details about their sleep patterns.

Where the headband is effective is its ability to use neuromodulation to impact the brainwaves, directing them from wakeful patterns to those of deeper sleep. “Elemind works like noise-cancellation for the brain. You can switch off the world, switch off the stress, and go to sleep faster,” explained Meredith Perry, the CEO and co-founder of Elemind.
