fundamental life-bearing properties of the electron and proton

Please forgive this sort of article; i love physics and raising awareness about it but.. At this time in human history, physics seems secondary to all the issues we're facing.. The previous article comparing...

Inertia and proton/electron mass ratio

There are two kinds of conventional physicists: those that have open minds about the physics of our universe and those that dogmatically adhere to probability theory. There are many of both kinds.. So it's unfair of me to accuse the entire physics community of the latter.....

Plasmonic Computer Data Storage: 10-100 Times Today's Capacity

"Plasmonic nanolithography" focuses light by exciting electrons on metal lenses, which write data on photo-sensitve disks. According to UC Berkeley professor Zhang, storage capacity 10 to 100 times today's may be possible."Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley,...

Canada Welcomes World's Largest Electron Microscope

New Solar Energy Material Captures Every Color Of The Rainbow

Yet another solar breakthrough- the article goes into detail, but this pretty much sums it up:"Researchers have created a new material that overcomes two of the major obstacles to solar power: it absorbs all the energy contained in sunlight, and generates electrons in a way...

Quantum Leap: Researchers have controlled the position of a single electron ...

"An international team of researchers has shown that it can control the quantum state of a single electron in a silicon transistor--even putting the electron in two places at once. Their discovery could help pave the way toward a practical quantum computer. Quantum computers...

Electron Cryomicroscopy Takes 3D Portrait of Virus

"Electron Cryomicroscopy Takes 3D Portrait of Virus"

Everything Is Made Of Nothing!

Alright, alright, I know I will be accused of generalizing but it's almost, almost, a perfect aphorism as well as, well, actually a perfect assessment of the whole wide physical world. Did you notice I...

Sailing the Sea of Stars

A zero-emisions spacecraft. The genii at Kampula Space Center have submitted documentation suggesting that it's possible: a positively-charged electron sail that would repel the negatively-charged solar wind, driving the craft away from the sun. Such a craft would have to be...

NASA Scientists Find Primordial Organic Matter in Tagish Lake Meteorite

NASA researchers at Johnson Space Center, Houston have found organic materials that formed in the most distant reaches of the early Solar System preserved in a unique meteorite. The study was performed on the...
