Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a captivating theory that aims to address some of the fundamental questions in particle physics by proposing the existence of “superpartners” for known particles. One striking prediction of SUSY is the presence of a superpartner for the top quark, known as the top squark or “stop.” The recent analysis conducted by the
The process of converting CO2 back into synthetic fuels, known as synfuels, has long been considered a promising solution in mitigating climate change. Researchers at Empa and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have been at the forefront of this research, working tirelessly to develop efficient and economic methods for producing synfuels from CO2. However, the
In a recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Birmingham, University College London, and Tsinghua University, it was revealed that the carbon mitigation efforts in 240 Chinese cities are mainly benefiting from the actions of other cities, rather than their own contributions. The study, which analyzed data from 309 Chinese cities between 2012
The ovaries are not just responsible for reproduction; they play a crucial role in maintaining overall health by producing and releasing hormones that impact the heart, bones, brain, and immune system. Recent brain imaging studies have raised concerns about the long-term effects of surgical removal of both ovaries on brain health. A study involving more
Two rare asteroids are set to zoom past Earth within hours of each other this week. These space rocks have been labeled as “potentially hazardous” due to their size and trajectory. Despite this classification, there is no immediate threat to Earth. Both asteroids will safely pass by at high speeds, with a zero percent chance
Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize the world of computing by performing calculations that would take classical computers years to resolve. The key to developing an effective quantum computer lies in having a reliable quantum bit, or qubit, that can exist in a simultaneous 0 or 1 state for an extended period, known as
