"A light-emitting diode (LED) that emits more light energy than it consumes in electrical energy has been unveiled by researchers in the US. The device - which has a conventional efficiency of greater than 200% - behaves as a kind of optical heat pump that converts lattice vibrations into infrared photons, cooling its surroundings in the process."
The way that Mexican jumping beans move by detecting temperature gradients could be applied to designing robotic beans. Most animals move around by using their appendages, such as legs, wings, or fins. But a few exceptional creatures employ rolling as a mode of locomotion.
The only way to study the conflict between relativity and quantum mechanics is to test them over enormous distances in space. And physicists are already making plans
"Higgs Boson partices - guaranteed to satisfy! Need mass in your objects? Get some Higg Bosons!"
"The Higgs Boson particles are SOLD WITH THE JAR! You may not be able to SEE the Higgs Boson particles unless you use a large hadron collider."
"Q: Since it is, after all, the god particle; can you observe closely and tell use what religion it is?"
"At least two other particles could be masquerading as the God particle, according to a new analysis of the data from CERN"
As I said.. the press always tends to exaggerate...
A better understanding of the scientific turkeys of the 19th century may provide a stark warning about the value of mainstream scientific thought today.
If physicists are ever to entangle humans they'll need to understand the role that noise plays in the experiments. Now they've carried out the first tests to find out
Any idea of the technology behind ... Sounds too much advertisement what is in the article " Now, our near term objective is to continue to improve the fabrication process and the power output, as we optimize the cost of manufacturing. We believe that the result will be a 50% reduction in the cost of solar electricity. Perhaps the installed system cost savings will be even greater"
