A team of researchers from Seoul National University, Stanford University, and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology has made a groundbreaking discovery in camera technology. They have developed a metasurface-based folded lens system that enables unprecedented manipulation of light, paving the way for the creation of slimline cameras for use in smartphones and augmented/virtual…
Scientists in the STAR Collaboration have made a groundbreaking discovery by developing a new method to investigate the shapes of atomic nuclei through high-energy collisions. This innovative approach offers unprecedented insight into nuclear structure and promises to deepen our understanding of strong nuclear forces and their role in the composition of neutron stars and the…
Scientists have proposed a new theory about the origins of Mars’ moons, Phobos and Deimos. According to this theory, the moons may be the remains of an asteroid that was shredded by Mars’ gravity. This theory could help explain the moons’ unusual shapes and orbits. An upcoming mission to collect samples from Phobos may provide…
Scientists from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration have made a groundbreaking discovery that could change our understanding of the universe. Their analysis suggests that dark energy, a mysterious phenomenon driving the expansion of the cosmos, may not be constant throughout the universe’s history. Instead, it may be waning, contradicting the widely accepted theory…
Researchers in Austria have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of supersolidity, observing quantized vortices in a supersolid for the first time. This finding provides further confirmation that supersolids can be modeled as superfluids with a crystalline structure, opening up new possibilities for studying quantum many-body physics. The team is now using this model…
Researchers at the University of Glasgow have made a groundbreaking discovery about aphantasia, a condition where people are unable to visualize objects, people, and scenes in their minds. A recent study found that people with aphantasia have a weaker connection between their auditory and visual senses, highlighting the range of brain organizations and the interconnectedness…
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of space communication. By using four-wave mixing, they have developed a practical approach to amplify weakened optical signals without introducing noise. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize laser-based communication systems in space, enabling faster and more reliable data…
Mathematicians Noam Elkies and Zev Klagsbrun have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of mathematics, breaking an 18-year-old record with a new elliptic curve. The curve, which has the most complicated set of rational solutions ever seen, has a rank of at least 29. This discovery has significant implications for the study of elliptic…
Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered that lightning can trigger bursts of high-energy electrons in the Earth’s inner radiation belt, posing a potential threat to spacecraft and astronauts. The researchers analyzed data from a NASA satellite and found that these bursts can occur at low energies, making them difficult to detect. This…
A team of researchers from the National Geographic Society’s Pristine Seas team has discovered the world’s largest standalone coral off the coast of the Solomon Islands. The coral, estimated to be 300 to 500 years old, measures 34 meters wide, 32 meters long, and 6 meters tall, making it longer than the average blue whale….
