Like a lot of people, I try to keep up with what's happening in science. A team of people claim to have discovered gravity on the quantum (atomic) scale. By picking up vibrations in a 'particle', they claim to have measured gravity on a very, very small scale. I have a ton of questions. I haven't read the article in Science Advances, but it raises questions like what exactly was the particle, how does one measure something reliably at 1 quintillionth of a newton, does this confirm string theory, is string theory the so called 'theory of everything', and, most important, can anyone else confirm this experiment. This will lead to experiments in duplicating or canceling the vibrations to either enhance or reduce gravitational pull. You could use this in rockets, buildings, even cars. In F1 racing, downforce is a big deal. You could create downforce at lower speeds making cars safer, faster, and make races more exciting. These kinds of articles are super interesting. I'm not smart enough to really understand how this all works, but I can imagine how it could be used. I certainly hope that investments in this kind of research continue.

Building upon the foundation of Project Nano Symphony's groundbreaking exoskeleton technology, this report explores the potential of variable-shape nanorobotic defense systems for ground and in-flight missile interception. By leveraging advancements in nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and robotics, this paradigm offers significant advantages over current defense technologies, particularly within specific Mach speed intervals.

Anthropic's model Claude 3 Opus has been generating a lot of buzz in the AI world. AI researchers, influencers, and tech enthusiasts swarm Claude like paparazzi chasing a Hollywood star ✨ Have seen numerous reviews comparing benchmarks and capability to handle complex tasks with near-perfect recall. What really stood out was this tweet from a Quantum Physics Research scholar. He asks AI to solve the quantum physics problem statement that he has been doing his PhD thesis on (Not published Yet) and Claude was able to perfectly reason through the problem statement and arrive at the solution. Think about the impact of this: 💡 AI is able to solve complex problems that typically take years for Research scholars 💡 Power of AI in the hands of researchers can accelerate research in areas like Healthcare 💊 , Renewable energy 🌍 , Space exploration 🔭 etc.. 💡 How about 100% renewable energy production with near zero cost? Next 12 months is going to be super exciting!!! https://lnkd.in/gSSnKwG8

https://lnkd.in/d4VKD8bF <<Although the notion of paradigms has been around for quite some time, the concept of paradigm shifts was explored by American physicist and philosopher Thomas Samuel Kuhn in his 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Kuhn characterized a paradigm shift as a revolution that challenges and ultimately takes the place of a prevailing scientific framework. ... Paradigms are important because they define how we perceive reality and how we behave within it. Everyone is subject to the limitations and distortions produced by their socially conditioned nature. For instance, before Einstein physicists took Newtonian physics for granted. That paradigm was then challenged by the rise of quantum mechanics.>> Through CIOSUERD https://lnkd.in/dijqtXha #paradigm #scientificrevolution #framework #Newton #Eistein #quantum #shift #sustenability #resilience #mechanics #learning #CIOSUERD

For over 60 years, scientists have failed to find concrete evidence of extraterrestrial civilizations. However, this may be about to change At an upcoming conference in the UK, researchers from Breakthrough Listen will outline transformative technologies, such as new telescopes and AI developments, that could revolutionize the hunt for 'technosignatures'—indicators of alien life. Among these technologies are the Square Kilometre Array and the Vera Rubin Observatory, which promise unprecedented sensitivity in detecting unintentional transmissions from distant civilizations. Are we on the brink of a breakthrough in our quest to find intelligent life in the cosmos?

Our understanding of "space" ranges from the incredibly vast (the universe) to the incredibly small (quantum level). The scientific way how space (distance) is measured is by the amount of time it takes light to travel that space! 10^18 seconds is the amount of time in which light travels the distance of a hydrogen atom! In other words, an Attosecond is small, a very very small measure of time! What is the practical application of Attometer? Scientists use attosecond to measure the ultra-fast motion of electrons in atoms & in molecules which can help explain the principles of many physical and chemical processes. Now, if you are thinking that Attosecond is small, then meet Planck time! It is approximately 10^43 seconds (give or take). This is a theoretical measure of time where it is the amount of time taken by light to travel one Planck length. To put it in perspective, the humble second is much (much much much) closer to the age of the universe (13.8 Billion Years) than the Planck time is to the second! At this scale, the laws of physics we use to describe gravity and space and time become useless. Our understanding of the "science of the very small" is paving the way to exciting new technologies. The densest microchip of today is 2 Nanometers (1 Nm is one billionth of a meter); the more transistors that we are able to pack into a chip, we can build more energy efficient and higher computing machines. Moores law is still alive and kicking! The potential to crunch "space" aka miniaturization is incredibly "huge"! Finally, take an Attosecond to process this! The amount of Planck time taken to read this post is way, way, way more than the number of seconds since the Big Bang!

  Prof. Hao Zeng and Doctoral Researcher Jianfeng Yang from Tampere University, Finland, and Prof. M. Ravi Shankar from the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering, USA, have drawn inspiration from nature to design polymeric gliding structures that can be controlled using light. Their novel innovation is a tiny robot replicating the aerial dance of falling maple seeds. In the future, the maple samara robot could be used for real-time environmental monitoring or delivery of small samples even in hard-to-reach terrain like deserts, mountains, or the open sea. What is more, this technology could be a game changer for fields such as search-and-rescue, endangered species studies, or infrastructure monitoring. Their article was published in Nature Communications on 1 June, 2024. #materialscience #photonics #robot #aerialrobot   Read more ➡ https://lnkd.in/dfGVvEbU
