A theoretical study has analyzed a model that saves special relativity and reconciles it with granularity by introducing small-scale deviations from the principle of locality demonstrating that it can be experimentally tested with great precision.
Leaders from more than 170 countries gather at the United Nations to sign the Paris climate deal. "This is a moment in history," UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said. "Today you are signing a new covenant with the future."
Over one million PET bottles will be recycled to construct the Plastic Bottle Village in Panama.
Indonesian president Joko Widodo said he would halt the expansion of the mining and palm oil industries, likely this year, to curb rainforest deforestation.
UC Irvine chemists create technology with potentially game-changing charging capacity.
Tokyo’s urban jungle is about to become a whole lot greener. Dutch firm ingenhoven architects unveiled designs for the Toranomon Project, a mixed-use development draped with greenery.
Continental shifting may have acted as a natural mechanism for extreme carbon sequestration.
Cambridge to research future computing tech that could "ignite" a technology field A Cambridge-led project aiming to develop a new architecture for future computing based on superconducting spintronics - technology designed to increase the energy-efficiency of high-performance computers and data storage - has been announced. A project which aims to establish the UK as an international leader in the development of “superconducting spintronics” – technology that could significantly increase the energy-efficiency of data centres and high-performance computing – has been announced.
It takes a bold person to declare that interstellar travel is now within our grasp. Physicist Stephen Hawking has shown that he is just that, taking part in the Breakthrough Starshot initiative.
Magic Leap unveiled a new video demonstration of its technology, complete with virtual screens that could theoretically replace a phone or even a desktop PC.
A team of researchers has recorded the brain activity of 50 people wearing an electroencephalogram headset while they looked at a series of 500 images. They found that participants' brains reacted differently to each image, enough that a computer system was able to identify each volunteer's 'brainprint' with 100 percent accuracy.
he “larger-than-life” screen uses technology similar to IMAX movie theaters, taking participants through the solar system, soaring over Hawaii’s coasts, or into the music with visuals that match the beat, the IMAXShift description reads.
Solar power, driven by exponentially-increasing nanotechnology, will satisfy the entire world's need for energy in less than twenty years.
Subtle distortions hidden in ALMA’s stunning image of the gravitational lens SDP.81 are telltale signs that a dwarf dark galaxy is lurking in the halo of a much larger galaxy nearly 4 billion light-years away. This discovery paves the way for ALMA to find many more such objects and could help astronomers address important questions on the nature of dark matter.In 2014, as part of ALMA’s Long Baseline Campaign, astronomers studied a variety of astronomical objects to test the telescope's new, high-resolution capabilities.
