GRAPES-3 experiment unveils unexpected twist in cosmic ray spectrum
GRAPES-3 experiment unveils unexpected twist in cosmic ray spectrum by Staff Writers Mumbai, India (SPX) Feb 05, 2024 The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research's GRAPES-3 experiment, based in Ooty, India, has made a pivotal discovery in the field of cosmic ray physics. Researchers have identified a new characteristic in the cosmic-ray proton spectrum at an
The Overlooked Experiment That Revealed the Quantum World
Before Erwin Schrödinger’s cat was simultaneously dead and alive, and before point-like electrons washed like waves through thin slits, a somewhat lesser-known experiment lifted the veil on the bewildering beauty of the quantum world. In 1922, the German physicists Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach demonstrated that the behavior of atoms was governed by rules that
CERN experiment confirms gravity affects antimatter, too
TechSpot is celebrating its 25th anniversary. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. In context: Antimatter is a substance composed of antiparticles with an opposite electric charge compared to the corresponding particles in "ordinary" matter. Despite its opposite nature, antimatter and matter should behave the same when interacting with other fundamental forces of nature, like
Experiment with turnstiles of single electrons shows way towards new power standard
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The world's most commonly used system of measurement, the International System of Units (SI), was redefined in 2019. Since then, units have needed to be defined in terms of the constants of nature—that is, nature's rules that are fixed and of no uncertainty, such as the speed of light—and not in…
A global experiment in Roam co-living
Update: I decided to leave this company and am no longer affiliated with Roam Co-Living. I’m moving into a columnist role at TechCrunch and onto some new projects. One is called Roam Co-Living. It adaptively reuses space for communal living and location independent workers in other parts of the U.S. and world, starting in Miami and Indonesia. Although this work…
