In central China, the Yangtze River is blocked by an engineering marvel so great that it does nothing but power or flood control. It changes the body the rotation of the planet. The Three Gorges Damcompleted in 2012, it is over 2,300 meters long and 185 meters high. Behind it is 40 cubic kilometers of … Read more
Scientific experiments can change the world around us. Throughout history, several experiments have led to amazing inventions that have rewritten our collective rule book. But the experiment of making light materials can produce a new flexible film that produces its light and energy? How did this new energy and lighting technology come about? How ultra-thin … Read more
Light usually travels in straight paths, but what if it was twisted, spun, and behaved like a mini-tornado? Scientists have now made this possible by creating optical vortices—small swirling particles of light in a microscopic system. Until now, generating such complex light systems required multiple setups or complex nanostructures, making it difficult to scale. A … Read more
Deep inside every atom is an unstable world of quarks and gluons – the tiny building blocks that hold everything together, from rocks to stars. For decades, physicists have been trying to understand how these particles behave, especially under extreme conditions. “We need to know how these gluons behave in these extreme conditions because gluons … Read more
The case for renewable energy is stronger than ever, as the war in Iran continues to highlight the dangers of relying on fossil fuels. ADVERTISING ADVERTISING While Brent crude, the global benchmark for oil prices, fell yesterday morning (March 26) amid growing expectations of a drop, barrel prices have exceeded $100 (about €86.38) per barrel … Read more
