Particle accelerators are nothing less than super heroes! They rock the world of semiconductors, medical magic, and all kinds of cool research including materials, energy, medicine etc. The only down side of this tech is, they require huge space, like kilometers of it. This makes them super pricey and time consuming of course.

Book Review: The Road to Reality by Sir Roger Penrose
“The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe” by Sir Roger Penrose span over 1,100 pages. It was published in 2004. Sir Penrose is renowned for his contributions to the mathematical physics of general relativity and cosmology. In 2020, he was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity.
Read MoreWearable Ultrasound Patch for Real-Time Monitoring
Researchers at MIT have developed a wearable ultrasound patch that images organs without requiring an operator or gel. The team has successfully demonstrated that the patch can, not only accurately images, but it can also gauge the fullness of the bladder. This innovation has the potential to assist patients with bladder or kidney disorders. As it can monitor their organ function with greater convenience.

Hopfions, the magnetic spin structures, have gained significant attention in recent years. Although their predictions have been observed several decades ago. A collaborative research effort from Sweden, Germany, and China presents it’s the first experimental evidence.
Read MoreBook Review: The Trouble with Physics by Lee Smolin
“The Trouble with Physics: The Rise of String Theory, the Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next” by the theoretical physicist Lee Smolin delves into the history of physics, starting from Copernicus. The book also explores the contemporary state of physics research. It was written in 2006, and at that time, string theory had significant influence in the field.
Read MoreBe Stars’ Dancing in Triple Systems
Jonathan Dodd and Professor René Oudmaijer’s recent research at the University of Leeds challenges the assumption that massive Be stars are mainly found in double star systems. The study, however, suggests evidence supporting the idea that these stars might be part of triple star systems. Thus, introducing a new perspective in stellar science.
