Indian scientists develop a new material — black gold — with unique properties. It can be used for various applications ranging from nano-heater and desalinating seawater to solar energy harvesting. Pollution has become one of the...
Minification (in programming) is the process of compressing code from the original size to the smallest size, without affecting the operation of the code. It involves removing white-spaces, new lines, comments and modifying some unnecessary...
The possibility of the existence of white holes was first suggested by a theoretical astrophysicist Igor Novikov in 1964. A white hole is a hypothetical region in spacetime, which is predicted as part of a solution to the Einstein field equations...
Researchers develop a new quantum algorithm that uses fewer resources to perform code-breaking calculations. A 20-million-qubit quantum computer running on this algorithm would take only 8 hours to crack 2,048-bit RSA encryption. It is certain...
The first AI simulator of the Universe is both fast and accurate. The AI model can simulate a 600 million light-years wide Universe in 30 milliseconds with a relative error of 2.8%. It’s quite surprising that researchers don’t know how...
Facebook posts alone can predict diseases like diabetes, depression, anxiety, and psychoses. Like genomic information, social media content is capable of personalizing health care. More than 2 billion people share information about their everyday...
Neuroscientists have reverse engineered the information that characterizes an individual’s facial identity and rendered it graphically. They have built 3D facial models using key details stored in an individual’s brain. Every time you...
There are ways to make gravity work in 2(space)+1(time) dimensional universe. A physicist showed how a scalar gravitational field would work in two spatial dimensions, enabling stable orbits and a logical cosmology. Have you ever wondered how life...
The shortwave ultraviolet exposure has been found to be associated with a higher risk of learning disabilities. Researchers conducted the study on 422,512 schoolchildren from across Scotland. About 19% (79,616) of them had a learning disability...
Physicists manage to teleport information within a diamond. The breakthrough could shape how we store and share sensitive data in the future. Quantum teleportation, a phenomenon most commonly used in sci-fi movies, is used to send a quantum bit...
While studying beams with highly structured angular momentum, researchers discover a new property of light: self-torque. They experimentally generated a light beam with this new property. In physics, light is referred to as electromagnetic...
People often use the terms ‘tallest mountains’ and ‘highest mountains’ interchangeably, and they terribly mix-up these two different things. It’s imperative for one to know that both terms have completely different...
