A new study sought to analyze the chewing nature of four types of gum bases and along the way determine bubbling capacity also. Gums are generally oils, resins, and elastomers generally held in…

Light is the most famous thing that is two distinct entities at once - a wave and a particle - but glass is nearly as mysterious. And not well understood. We think of glass as being transparent and…

Last week it was claimed that a material that would be superconducting at  normal pressure has been found.  This substance known as LK-99 was alleged to be superconducting at normal…

Superionic materials, needed for solid-state electrolytes that could replace the liquid organic electrolytes in current electric car batteries and make them safe for mass usage, face challenges in…

Quantum magnetism exploration is getting a boost from atoms about 3 billion times colder than interstellar space. Space is cold, of course, but is warmed by the afterglow from the Big Bang. A Kyoto…

People who buy electric cars don't understand a lot about energy generation. They may believe that solar panels and wind are providing the energy, but even after $3 trillion in subsidies, those have…

A recently published paper in Nature Physics, “Time-reversal-based quantum metrology with many-body entangled states”, finds that a new technique to measure atomic vibrations can improve the…

The Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research recently published a study regarding the relationship between spectral emissivity and the temperatures of three different crystal-bearing basalts.…

A half-mile-long stretch of tunnel in California is now colder than most of the universe. It contains a new superconducting particle accelerator, part of an upgrade project to the Linac Coherent…

There are three dimensions in the known universe. Fiction authors like to call time a dimension but it really isn't, it is just a way to look at the other three. Even if you don't remember what you…
