Simulations of ‘backwards time travel’ can improve scientific experiments
From University of Cambridge 08/11/23 Physicists have shown that simulating models of hypothetical time travel can solve experimental problems that appear impossible to solve using standard physics. If gamblers, investors and quantum experimentalists could bend the arrow of time, their advantage would be significantly higher, leading to significantly better outcomes. Researchers at the University of […]

Plastic production via advanced recycling lowers GHG emissions
From DOE/Argonne National Laboratory 07/11/23 Producing new plastic by advanced recycling of post-use plastic (PUP), instead of fossil-based production, can reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and increase the U.S. recycling rate, according to research by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. The peer-reviewed life cycle analysis study appears in the November 2023 […]
New catalyst could provide liquid hydrogen fuel of the future
From Lund University 07/11/23 Researchers at Lund University in Sweden are investigating a car fuel comprised of a liquid that is converted to hydrogen by a solid catalyst. The used liquid is then emptied from the tank and charged with hydrogen, after which it can be used again in a circular system that is free […]

Mechanism decoded: How synapses are formed
From Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie 03/11/23 Whether in the brain or in the muscles, wherever there are nerve cells, there are synapses. These contact points between neurons form the basis for the transmission of excitation, i.e. communication between neurons. As in any communication process, there is a sender and a receiver: Nerve cell processes called […]
