Do your own research. But do it right.

It's of course totally okay if you do your own research. But you should watch out for a few things.

Quantum Superchemistry: First Experimental Observation

Today we talk about superchemistry, music in the brain, how to create matter from light, contrails, objects that take strange turns, why phone batteries might soon become replaceable, how to control fire, why we have to think about preventing hurricanes, and of course, the telephone will ring.

A global mental health crisis? Really?

It's in the headlines everywhere that the world is going through a mental health crisis. Though, when you take a closer look, all the headlines are coming from the United States. Is there a global mental health crisis? Is it localized to just the US? That's what we talk about today.

Sun is brighter than we thought

Today we talk about the muon anomaly at fermilab, say good-bye to LK99, hear from scientists who say that sun is brighter than we thought, look at a new ion trap, talk about talk about a cold blob, plans for a new space station, delay with NASA’s trip to the moon, freeze rays, the smallest traffic light ever, and of course, the telephone will ring.

How Dead is Moore's Law?

I've been trying to understand the limits to Moore's law and looked into what technologies are under development to push it further.

Superconductor LK99 Update

Today I have an update on the reproduction efforts for the supposed room temperature superconductor, LK 99, the first images from the Euclid mission, more trouble with Starlink satellites, first results from a new simulation for cosmological structure formation, how to steer drops with ultrasound, bacteria that make plastic, an improvement for wireless power transfer, better earthquake warnings, an attempt to predict war, and of course the telephone will ring.

Evidence for new physics? Or not?

Some physicists are claiming that there is something "wrong" with our understanding of the universe. Oftentimes, it's just to justify asking for funding for new experiments, a better detector, a new telescope, a bigger collider, but what if there's something more than that? Do we have evidence of new physics? Or not? In this video, we will look at dark matter and dark energy, quantum gravity, the mass of the Higgs-boson, neutrino masses, and the matter-antimatter asymmetry.
