Computer chips are packed with billions of microscopic transistors that enable powerful computation, but also generate a great deal of heat. A buildup of heat can slow a computer processor and make it less efficient and reliable. Engineers employ heat sinks to keep chips cool, sometimes along with fans or liquid cooling systems; however, these methods often require a lot of energy to operate. ... more |

 Washington DC (SPX) Dec 20, 2022 
For decades physicists have been hunting for a quantum-gravity model that would unify quantum physics, the laws that govern the very small, and gravity. One major obstacle has been the difficulty in testing the predictions of candidate models experimentally. But some of the models predict an effect that can be probed in the lab: a very small violation of a fundamental quantum tenet called the Pa ... more |

One of the mysteries of the universe is that Einstein's general relativity, which is a relativistic theory of Newton's universal law of gravity, requires large amount of dark matter in individual galaxies and in the vast space of the universe. Dark matter inferred by general relativity has never been identified in non-gravitational experiments.
This opens up the possibility that gravity's ... more |
