Credit: Dr. Yiqi Fang, University of Konstanz; Edited byPhysicists at the University of Konstanz have discovered a way to use laser light to imprint the chirality of electrons in a never-before-seen geometric shape, creating a chiral coil of mass and charge.This breakthrough in manipulating electron chirality has profound implications for quantum optics, particle physics and electron microscopy, paving the way for new scientific exploration and technological innovation.Understanding Chirality and Its MeaningHave you ever placed the palm of your right hand on the back of…

Last week, three astronomers proposed expanding the official definition of a planet to include worlds orbiting stars other than Earth, a nuance that’s not currently included in the official definition of a planet established by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006. If their new definition goes ahead, thousands of objects in the universe could be officially identified as planets.According to the current IAU definition, for an object to be considered a planet it must orbit the Sun, clear an area around its orbit, have sufficient mass, and gravity To be a planet, it would have had to be sculpted…

We spend one-third of our lives asleep, and one-quarter of that time dreaming. This means that the average person living in 2022 will have an average life expectancy of roughly 73which is just a little over six years of dreaming. Yet given the central role dreams play in our lives, we still understand very little about why we dream, how the brain generates them, and, importantly, what dreams mean for our health, and in particular the health of our brain. My research published in 2022 Lancet Clinical Medicine journalhas shown that dreams can reveal a surprising amount of information about…

BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s prime minister said Monday that eligible businesses and individuals will be able to register for digital cash transfers starting in August.

AI summaries are appearing less and less frequently in Google searches, with a new report finding that they appear in fewer than 10% of search queries. More than two months have passed since then. Google launches AI overview for all US search usersAnd the impact has been harsh for Google. While many feared that AI Overviews would pull large swaths of the internet away from individual websites, it appears that the massive, viral errors caused by AI Overviews have led Google to decide to significantly scale back the project. The data was released in early June Google showed AI summaries…

The fishermen are not impressed.Show me the caustic sodaResearchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution want to dump 6,600 gallons of sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda or lye, into the ocean off the coast of Cape Cod in an effort to slow climate change.The unorthodox plan is likely to face significant headwinds not only from U.S. regulators, but also from local fishing communities and environmentalists.
