If the universe is primarily matter, where did all the anti-matter go? The theory Drs Cui and Zhong-Zh wanted to explore is known as leptogenesis, a process involving particle decay that could have led to the asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the early universe. An asymmetry in certain types of elementary particles in the…

Making Popcorn with Infrared Cooking
Infrared heating is turning up in more places. They tested the new system with three different levels of heat power (600, 700 and 800 W) and found that 700 W produced the highest amount of fully or semi-popped kernels, as well as the largest kernels. Then, a sensory panel also determined that the popcorn from…
Researchers develop 3D printing sodium-ion micro batteries
Chinese researchers have developed a prototype of planar and flexible 3D printed sodium-ion micro batteries (NIMBs). Planar NIMBs are a promising new micro-power source because of their rich sodium resources, low cost, and fast sodium ion transmission. But they are hindered by low areal capacity owing to the thin microelectrodes. For more, check out this…
NASA’s Webb Telescope Just Detected Carbon Dioxide On A Distant Planet
A sign of a potential life environment? Thanks to the Webb Telescope’s precision, scientists discovered the first clear evidence of carbon dioxide on WASP-39 b by using the JWST’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph to view the change in wavelengths of light from the planet as it orbited its host star. The subtle measurements of the planet’s transmission…
Supercharging tweak could fill electric car batteries 90% in 10 mins
More power faster! Tweaking the way electric vehicle batteries are charged could make it possible to hit 90 per cent charge within just 10 minutes from empty. By comparison, current methods usually require half an hour to fully charge an electric vehicle. For more, check out this New Scientist/MSN story.
China Shooting Rods Into Sky to Bring Rain After Massive Drought
China’s worst-ever drought in history caused the country to begin cloud seeding, using silver iodide rods to encourage rainfall. China’s record-breaking heat wave has gotten so bad that parts of the Yanghtze River have gone completely dry. To combat the country’s hottest temperatures on record, officials are now using a technique called “cloud seeding” to…
