The field of heat transfer has traditionally focused on the movement of thermal energy through quantum particles known as phonons. However, recent advancements in nanoscale semiconductors have revealed that phonons alone are not sufficient to efficiently remove heat at such small scales. To address this issue, researchers from Purdue University have turned their attention to

The future of Destiny 2 developer Bungie hangs in the balance as rumors circulate that a full Sony takeover may be imminent. According to anonymous sources, Bungie’s forthcoming expansion, The Final Shape, needs to meet sales expectations to avoid this drastic outcome. The studio, already burdened by financial obligations, is even prepared to cut staff
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a complex and rapidly developing field that has far-reaching impacts on society. Kevin Frazier, an assistant professor of law at St. Thomas University, recognizes the need for inclusive global cooperation in navigating AI’s intricate societal implications. In a recent interview, Frazier discussed his efforts to create an open-source legal syllabus that
In 1960, Joaquin Luttinger proposed a universal statement that established a relationship between the total number of particles a system can accommodate and its behavior under low-energy excitations. Initially applicable to systems of independent particles, Luttinger’s theorem surprisingly retains its accuracy even in cases of strongly correlated quantum matter where interactions between particles are significant.
With the advancement of technology and the increasing reliance on smartphones, the protection of user privacy has become a pressing concern. U.S. Senator Ron Wyden has recently raised an alarming issue, warning that foreign governments are spying on smartphone users by compelling tech giants Apple and Google to turn over push notification records. In a
In a world grappling with the challenges of population growth, increasing energy demands, and water scarcity, engineers at Cornell University have revolutionized the way we think about sustainable solutions. By combining two essential systems, integrated pumped hydro reverse osmosis system (IPHROS), not only can coastal cities meet their energy needs but also address the pressing
