Music Training May Not Make Children Smarter After All – No Positive Impact on Cognitive Skills or Academic Achievement
Music training does not have a positive impact on children’s cognitive skills, such as memory, and academic achievement, such as mathematicss, reading or writing, according…
Method Proposed to Protect Earth From Asteroid Impact: Tethered Diversion
The use of a tether assisted system could prevent an asteroid impacting Earth without the risk of fragmentation. Our planet exists within the vicinity of…
Evolution in COVID-19 Spread Predicted by Mathematical Curves
With the right approach, statistics can be used to reliably track the growth and fall in daily new cases of Covid-19 in China, raising hopes…
Mathematical Breakthrough Makes It Easier to Explore Quantum Entanglement
Updated mathematical techniques that can distinguish between two types of ‘non-Gaussian curve’ could make it easier for researchers to study the nature of quantum entanglement….
Deconstructing Schrödinger’s Cat – Solving the Paradox
The French theoretical physicist Franck Laloë presents a modification of Schrödinger’s famous equation that ensures that all measured states are unique, helping to solve the…
Exploring Strangeness in the Universe’s First Ten Microseconds
Having studied quark-gluon plasma since the late 1970s, Dr. Johann Rafelski summarizes the evolution in our understanding of the exotic quark signature of this primordial…
When Impacted by Positrons Spherical Nanoparticles Release Electron-Positron Pairs in Forward Directions
Theoretical calculations reveal that when impacted by positrons of particular energies, spherical nanoparticles release unstable electron-positron pairs, with signals dominating in the same direction as…
Some Hyper-Realistic Masks More Believable Than Real Human Faces
Images of synthetic hyper-realistic masks could be mistaken for those of real faces, according to a study published in the open access journal Cognitive Research:…
The Evolution of Modern Cosmology Over Six Decades
“Cosmologists are often wrong but never in doubt,” Russian physicist Lev Landau once said. In the early days, astronomers began by observing and modelling stars…
New Research Shows That Ephemeral Vacuum Particles Induce Speed-of-Light Fluctuations
Two newly published studies challenge established wisdom about the nature of vacuum, finding that ephemeral vacuum particles induce speed-of-light fluctuations. In one paper, Marcel Urban…
