Pesquisa liderada pela USP encontrou uma nova forma de identificar estrelas que engoliram planetas: a análise da abundância de berílio. A estrela HD 129171 apresentou maior quantidade desse elemento, indicando a ingestão de material rochoso.
A conspiracy theory about scientists dying or disappearing is traced back to a 1977 British mock-documentary called 'Alternative 3', created by David Ambrose. Despite being a fictional drama, it was taken seriously by many and has since fueled various conspiracy narratives.
A Cambridge University astrophysics professor, Wyn Evans, alleges the Institute of Astronomy tolerates misogyny and bullying, and retaliated against whistleblowers. The university denies the claims, calling them a "vendetta" against the director.
A corrida espacial do século XXI opõe EUA e China em modelos de financiamento: Pequim usa empresas estatais e recursos públicos, enquanto a SpaceX de Elon Musk capta US$ 75 bilhões em Wall Street. A disputa abrange exploração espacial, comunicação e IA, com a SpaceX liderando em lançamentos e satélites Starlink.
Russia's Space Research Institute received 1.5 grams of lunar soil from China on June 3. The samples will be studied for volatile compounds to understand the Moon's history and aid future settlement efforts, as part of a joint space science agreement.
Dai Liang, a cosmology and astrophysics specialist who received a 2021 Sloan Research Fellowship, has returned to China to take a professorship at Fudan University in Shanghai.
BeiDou scientist Xu Ying, 43, from Sichuan, rejects the 'goddess' label, emphasizing that scientific research is gender-neutral. She joined the BeiDou development team at 23 and is now part of a system competing with GPS.
SLAC's Klystron Gallery in California is a 3km straight building housing a particle accelerator. Its immense length and industrial design are dictated by physics requirements, raising questions about its classification as the 'longest building'.
India's consumer watchdog has fined edtech firm PhysicsWallah Rs 5 lakh and cybersecurity company McAfee Rs 1 lakh for using deceptive 'dark patterns' to manipulate users into unintended actions like donations and subscriptions.
Analysis of UAP footage suggests an object may have achieved accelerations exceeding 600g, far beyond human or drone capabilities. Scientist Zhang notes a lack of hard data hinders scientific understanding.
Rahul Gandhi met CBSE Class 12 students, including Vedant Shrivastava, who faced online backlash for reporting discrepancies in his Physics answer sheet, being labelled "anti-national" and "Pakistani". Gandhi criticised the BJP-led government for insulting students instead of addressing their concerns.
A paper published in China's Command Control and Simulation journal on April 29 suggests that by fusing AI with radio wave physics, China could achieve a "new form of war" with superior communications and radar capabilities. The research is led by Li Fukai from top defense institutes.
Shanghai teacher Yu Junping significantly improved physics education in Karamay, Xinjiang, during his 1.5-year tenure. He reformed teaching methods, optimized homework, and led numerous research activities, resulting in top exam scores and awards for local teachers.
A CBSE Class 12 student claims the uploaded Physics answer sheet is not his, citing handwriting and answer differences. His brother defended him against online abuse, including being called "Pakistani," after they created an X account to highlight the issue due to revaluation process difficulties.
A Class XII student, Vedant Shrivastava, alleged that the Physics answer sheet uploaded by CBSE under his roll number is not his own, citing differences in handwriting and answers. This raises concerns about the board's On-Screen Marking (OSM) system and potential evaluation errors.
Taiwan's delegation of 8 students achieved outstanding results at the 26th Asian Physics Olympiad held in Busan, South Korea, winning 6 gold and 2 silver medals. This placed Taiwan third among 27 participating countries.
Roberto De Zerbi reaffirms his commitment to Tottenham Hotspur, even if they face relegation. Leicester City confirms 10 player departures due to expiring contracts. French basketball star Victor Wembanyama reveals a deep passion for astrophysics.
Roberto De Zerbi reaffirms commitment to Tottenham Hotspur, even if they face relegation. Meanwhile, French basketball star Victor Wembanyama reveals a deep fascination with astrophysics and space exploration, drawing parallels between cosmic ambition and his on-court aspirations.
Previously unknown diaries from Stephen Hawking's father, Frank, offer a raw insight into the physicist's formative years and early struggles with motor neurone disease. Biographer Graham Farmelo gained access to the coded diaries, revealing Frank's concerns about his son's initiative and studies.
Physicists simulated "false vacuum decay," a theoretical scenario where a tiny cosmic bubble could expand and erase everything in its path. The experiment showed how a metastable "false vacuum" could tunnel into a lower-energy "true vacuum" via quantum effects, triggering destructive vacuum bubbles. The research does not suggest the universe is imminent collapse.
CBSE Class XII results show a 3.19% drop in pass percentage to 85.20%, attributed to On-Screen Marking (OSM) and tougher Physics and Mathematics papers under the National Education Policy framework.
Water gets all the credit. When gaming companies want to show off new graphics technology, things tend to get wet; splashing waves that are only possible with the latest physics engine, or puddles that can reflect the world around them thanks to ray tracing. But there's something special about snow. It might not be as […]
AI pioneer Yann LeCun urges students to disregard alarmist CEO pronouncements and fears of AI-driven job losses and extinction. He emphasizes that higher education, particularly in fields like physics and electrical engineering, will become more valuable as AI tools require human oversight and strategic direction, leading to job evolution rather than elimination.
