Researchers at ETH Zurich have succeeded in observing a crystal that consists only of electrons. Such Wigner crystals were already predicted almost ninety years ago but could only now be observed directly in a semiconductor material. For several decades, however, this prediction remained purely theoretical, as those “Wigner crystals” can only form under extreme conditions such as low temperatures and a very small number of free electrons in the material. This is in part because electrons are many thousands of times lighter than atoms, which means that their motional energy in a regular arrangement is typically much larger than the electrostatic energy due to the interaction between the electrons. Using a trick, the physicists managed to make the regular arrangement of the electrons visible despite that small separation in the crystal lattice. To do so, they used light of a particular frequency to excite so-​called excitons in the semiconductor layer. Excitons are pairs of electrons and “holes” that result from a missing electron in an energy level of the material. The precise light frequency for the creation of such excitons and the speed at which they move depend both on the properties of the material and on the interaction with other electrons in the material – with a Wigner crystal, for instance. In contrast to previous experiments based on planar semiconductors, in which Wigner crystals were observed indirectly through current measurements, this is a direct confirmation of the regular arrangement of the electrons in the crystal. In the future, with their new method Imamoğlu and his colleagues hope to investigate exactly how Wigner crystals form out of a disordered “liquid” of electrons.

It seems like something that could only appear in a movie, but on Friday, it was reality: The ocean was on fire. A gas leak west of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula broke out of an underwater pipeline, causing bright flames to appear to boil up to the Gulf of Mexico's surface and create what many described as an "eye of fire." Gas started leaking from the pipeline in the Campeche Sound at roughly 5:15 a.m. on Friday, according to a statement from the company that owns the pipeline, Petróleos Mexicanos, otherwise known as Pemex. _____________________________________ Follow @sciencejournal.co For Most Recent Science News. @sciencejournal.co @sciencejournal.co @sciencejournal.co ____________________________________ #environmentalscience #awefacts #factzoflife #factoftheday #newseason #sneakernews #newsouthwales #environmentalist #environmentallyfriendly #environmentalist #aenvironmentalart #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #climatechangethefacts #climatechangeawareness #gulfofmaxico #fact #ocean #oceanview #oceanfire #oilspill #gulfofmexicofire #naturealert #earthfocus #earth #discoverglobe (at Gulf Of Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ46A2tjihJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

The oldest known strain of the plague-causing bacteria Yersinia pestis has been found lurking in the bones and teeth of a man buried thousands of years ago in what is now Latvia. Genetic analysis suggests the Y. pestis strain that infected the man emerged around 7,100 years ago, The Latvia man’s bones are also about 5,000 years old, but DNA comparison suggests he contracted a less virulent strain that emerged 1,000 years earlier in Y. pestis history than that found at the Scandinavian site.  Bacterial DNA also suggest that the ancient plague victim didn’t develop pustules or infect his family. It’s likely this early plague strain passed to humans through isolated encounters, such as from rodent bites, Krause-Kyora and colleagues conclude. The man was carefully buried, and the team didn’t find mass graves or Y. pestis infection in other individuals’ DNA, suggesting people in the area weren’t facing an epidemic. Without antibiotics, the man probably succumbed to his infection. Later Y. pestis strains may have been more contagious, but isolated encounters like this one may help scientists understand the plague’s early history.  “Maybe it’s really single events in the beginning, then more and more severe, before it became really dramatic in medieval times,” Krause-Kyora says.

Caught in a fatal inward spiral, a neutron star met its end when a black hole swallowed it whole. Gravitational ripples from that collision spread outward through the cosmos, eventually reaching Earth. The detection of those waves marks the first reported sighting of a black hole engulfing the dense remnant of dead star.  Until now, all identified sources of gravitational waves were twos of a kind: either two black holes or two neutron stars, spiraling around one another before colliding and coalescing. The violent cosmic collisions create waves that stretch and squeeze the fabric of spacetime, undulations that can be sussed out by sensitive detectors. The mismatched pairing of a black hole and neutron star was the final type of merger that scientists expected to find with current gravitational wave observatories. By pure coincidence, researchers spotted two of these events within 10 days of one another. Based on the pace of the new detectors, the researchers estimate that these events takes place about once a month within 1 billion lights-years of Earth. If scientists could spot a black hole shredding a neutron star in the future, that could help researchers pin down the properties of the ultra dense, Neutron-rich material that makes up the dead stars.

Despite their mysterious nature, black holes are thought to follow certain simple rules. Now, one of the most famous black hole laws, predicted by physicist Stephen Hawking, has been confirmed with gravitational waves. According to the black hole area theorem, developed by Hawking in the early 1970s, black holes can’t decrease in surface area over time. The area theorem fascinates physicists because it mirrors a well-known physics rule that disorder, or entropy, can’t decrease over time. To test this area rule, MIT astrophysicist Maximiliano Isi, Farr and others used ripples in spacetime stirred up by two black holes that spiraled inward and merged into one bigger black hole. A black hole’s surface area is defined by its event horizon — the boundary from within which it’s impossible to escape.The team analyzed data from the first gravitational waves ever spotted, which were detected by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, LIGO, in 2015.The surface area of the newly formed black hole was greater than that of the two initial black holes combined, upholding the area law with a 95 percent confidence level. The area theorem is a result of the general theory of relativity, which describes the physics of black holes and gravitational waves and it's upholding here suggest that once again Einstein was Right. _________________________________________ FOLLOW @ZAEZ_SCIENCE FOR RECENT SCIENCE NEWS. @zaez_science @zaez_science @zaez_science ___________________________________________ Hastages:-#astrophysics_ #astrophysicsmemes #astrophysicslover #astrophysics_class #gravitationalwaves #gravitationalwave#simulationtheory #ligo #līgo #blackholes #blackholechan #blackholesun #blackhole #einsteinquotes #alberteinstein #einsteinbagels #einstein60anos #aeinstein #einstein (at Blackhole) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQVlSClFF0n/?utm_medium=tumblr

This mice may not look like anything special. But the sperm that formed them spent three to six years In International Space Station. It is the longest biological experiment on the ISS yet. Exposure to space radiation didn't seem to harm the sperm's DNA or the cells to ability to produce healthy "space pups." After Returning the freeze-dried sperm cells to earth, rehydrating them and injection them into fresh mouse eggs, researchers transferred those embryos to female mice. About 240 healthy space pups were born from sperm kept on the ISS for nearly three years; about 170 other were born from sperm kept on the space station for nearly six years. Genetic analysis reveled no difference between these space pups and mice born from sperm stored on the ground. That may be good news for future spacefarers. Scientists have worried that cronic exposure to space radiation might not only put astronauts at risk for cancer and other diseases, but also create mutation in the DNA that could be passed down to future generations. The New result hint that deep-space travelers could safely bear Children.

Nuclear clocks could be the GOAT: Greatest of all timepieces. If physicists can build them, nuclear clocks would be a brand-new type of clock, one that would keep time based on the physics of atoms’ hearts. Today’s most precise clocks, called atomic clocks, rely on the behavior of atoms’ electrons. But a clock based on atomic nuclei could reach 10 times the precision of those atomic clocks, researchers estimate. Unlike atoms’ electrons, atomic nuclei are subject to the strong nuclear force, which holds protons and neutrons together.That means nuclear clocks could allow new tests of fundamental ideas in physics, including whether supposedly immutable numbers in physics known as fundamental constants are, in fact, constant.Nuclear clocks would be based on jumps between those nuclear energy levels, rather than those of electrons.To tally time with nuclei, scientists need to be able to set off the jump between nuclear energy levels with a laser. “Nuclear levels are not normally accessible with lasers,” said theoretical physicist Marianna Safronova. A variety of thorium called thorium-229 has a pair of energy levels close enough in energy that a laser could potentially set off the jump. Recent measurements have more precisely pinpointed the energy of that jump, a crucial step toward building a thorium nuclear clock.Now that physicists know the size of the energy jump, they are aiming to trigger it with lasers.  _________________________________________ FOLLOW @ZAEZ_SCIENCE FOR RECENT SCIENCE NEWS. @zaez_science @zaez_science @zaez_science ___________________________________________ Hastages:-#nuclearblast #nuclearphysics #nuclearblastrecords #nuclearpower#atomicclock #atomicclocks #timelapse #timetravel #timea #timeattack #timeandtru #timeaftertime #newsflash #anews #newsdaily #newsday #newshop #sciencefacts #sciencefact #sciencefactory #sciencefactcards #sciencefacteeday #sciencefactfriday#sciencefactguide https://www.instagram.com/p/CQI5gM3l0DH/?utm_medium=tumblr

The new COVID-19 antibody test is similar to one used at home to determine blood type, where the user pricks a finger and places a drop of blood on a card.  One challenge as society reopens is identifying who has been vaccinated for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The blood test could be used to confirm a person’s vaccination instead of having to show a vaccine card, says Robert Kruse, a pathology resident at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine who created the card. In the paper, researchers reported results of the test on 400 blood samples, half of which were from prior COVID-19 patients. The test correctly identified antibodies in previously infected patients 87.5% of the time, a slightly higher rate than ELISA tests performed in hospitals that require hours to perform. Kruse says the hemagglutination results could let people know if they still have protection months after they received the vaccine or if they need a booster shot.

People with one eye out people who have blindness or limited vision are underrepresented in science and face barriers in STEM Education. "Most of the stunning imagery In science is inaccessible to people who are blind, "says biochemist Bryan Shaw. His son Noah has one eye and has permanent Blind spots. In an effort to help make science more inclusive, Shaw and his colleagues have come up with bite-sized molecule models that take advantage of the mouth's supersensitive touch sensors, which can perceive finer details that our finger tips can. The team created gummy candy models of important proteins, including the calcium-binding protein shown above, as well as nonedible, nontoxic versions. Both models can be popped in the mouth for investigation. Such cheap, tiny models could help student learn about proteins regardless of vision acuity, Shaw says. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Follow @zaez_science for more Explained Science News. 🌎Zaez_science🌎 🌎zaez_science🌎 🌎zaez_science🌎 ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Hastages:- #chemistry2 #chemistryclass #chemistrylovers #chemistrylove #gummie #blowgummies #stem #stemeducation #stemcell #stemcells #disability #disabled #disabilityawareness #inclusivity #biochemistry #inclusivitymatters #biochemistry_lab #biochemistrystudent (at Mexico City, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPkezCDlCf1/?utm_medium=tumblr
