Dec 25, 2024 · Caltech researchers have measured the speed at which humans think: just 10 bits per second, while our sensory systems collect data at a rate of one billion bits per second—100 million times faster. This discovery raises new questions for neuroscientists, mainly why we can only focus on one thought at a time when our senses can process thousands of …

Jan 13, 2025 · The strongest magnetic field directly measured in the universe to date. The study uses real-time data from the MMS mission and the THEMIS/ARTEMIS mission to observe a large-scale, time-dependent (i.e., transient) phenomenon …

Jan 13, 2025 · Asir Intisar Khan, the study’s first author and a visiting postdoctoral scholar at Stanford, explained, “We are breaking a fundamental bottleneck of traditional materials like copper.Our niobium phosphide conductors show that sending faster, more efficient signals through ultrathin wires is possible.

Dec 21, 2024 · Professor David Wiltshire, who led the study, said: “Our findings show that we do not need dark energy to explain why the Universe appears to expand at an accelerating rate. New precise measurement of the universe’s expansion rate “Dark energy is a misidentification of variations in the kinetic energy of expansion, which is not uniform in a …

Dec 30, 2024 · The process involves injecting finely ground iron ore powder into a superheated furnace, causing an explosive chemical reaction. This creates glowing iron droplets that collect at the furnace’s bottom, producing high-purity iron.

Jan 4, 2025 · Zadehnazari said, “We can then use the gold-loaded COFs to convert CO2 into useful chemicals.” “By transforming CO2 into value-added materials, we reduce waste disposal demands and provide both environmental and practical benefits. It’s a win-win for the environment. Electronics waste is a potential gold mine, with an estimated ton of e-waste containing at least 10 times more gold than ...

Jan 13, 2025 · New Zinc-Ion battery to store grid energy “Our flame-retardant quasi-solid-state battery combines the strengths of liquid and solid electrolytes, offering a safer and more durable alternative to all-solid-state batteries while maintaining high energy density,” explains Mr. Kido, the study’s lead author. The newly developed battery uses progressive materials consisting of …

Dec 14, 2024 · Cancer researchers could simulate how specific mutations can transform healthy cells into malignant ones. Microbiologists might eventually forecast the impacts of viruses on infected cells and even their host organisms. Doctors could someday evaluate treatments using “digital twins” of their patients, hastening the arrival of a …

Nov 9, 2024 · To truly understand a country’s level of development, it’s important to examine the possessions people have in their homes, say economists Rutger Schilpzand and Jeroen Smits from Radboud University.Traditional research on low- and middle-income nations often centers on income, health, or education, yet these metrics obscure the complete picture of a country’s reality.
