Based on the latest studies, experts with the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published their internationally recommended values of the fundamental constants of nature. The new numbers bring some modifications for the values of gravity and electromagnetism.According to the researcher... |

Creating things out of thin air has always been a phrase sued to point out the implausibility of things appearing out of nowhere, especially resources of any sort, but it looks like some scientists might have invented something that could challenge the status of that choice of words.
Wireless frequencies have lon... |

Experts have been wondering for a very long time about how bacteria can produce species-specific wavelengths from their cells, without the presence of any discernible, specialized apparatus. A new study suggests that their chromosomes may play a role in underlying this ability. According to the conclusions of a new s... |

For years, physicists have been observing a peculiar phenomenon in metal surfaces on which light was shone. Mysterious electromagnetic “hotspots” appeared to develop on them, but only at the nanoscale. A team of experts now believes it has discovered the missing piece to this puzzle. The work was conducte... |

In a groundbreaking new study, a group of investigators has established from astronomical studies that the fine-structure constant (FSC) of the Universe is not the same now as it was a short while after the Big Band. This implies that not all laws of nature are the same over a lot of time and space.These conclusions ... |

Though they initially started out to investigate quirks in superconductors, two researchers ended up demonstrating how the most high-tech materials can shed more light on a common phenomenon.The interplay between electricity and magnetism has been discovered about two centuries ago, and has ever since developed conti... |

Remember the 1989 power outage in the surrounding areas of Quebec, Canada, that left about six million people without power for nine hours? Well, the phenomenon itself wasn't determined by an electromagnetic pulse bomb, but by a powerful geomagnetic storm triggered by the solar activity. Nevertheless, both produ... |

The human skin contains millions of sweat glands, connected to the pores at the surface through tiny sweat ducts, which could reveal the emotional state of a person without making physical contact by bouncing electromagnetic waves off them. While most people believe that these tiny ducts are straight tubes, a study c... |
