Scientists at Kyoto University have made a surprising breakthrough, demonstrating that sound waves can directly affect biological cells. They developed a device that transmits acoustic vibrations through a diaphragm into a culture dish containing living cells, using a vibration sensor, audio player, and amplifier. This system mimicked how sound propagates through body tissues.

Researchers at the Technion have, for the first time, identified a new type of quantum entanglement at the nanoscale—photon entanglement by total angular momentum (TAM). Unlike conventional spin (SAM) or orbital (OAM) angular momentum, TAM emerges when photons interact with nanostructures comparable in size to the wavelength of light.

Researchers from Sweden and the U.S. have developed an innovative blood test capable of detecting Alzheimer’s disease and accurately determining its stage. Unlike expensive and invasive methods such as PET scans or spinal fluid analysis, the new test detects a specific form of tau protein — MTBR-tau243. Its level in the blood is directly correlated […

Astronomers still don’t know what dark matter is, but they are confident in its existence based on observations of galaxy rotation, gravitational lensing, and cosmic microwave background radiation. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have proposed a new way to detect its presence, suggesting that dark matter particles may penetrate planets, heating them and […

Researchers from McMaster University have discovered a new antibiotic—lariocidin—belonging to the class of lasso peptides. This marks the first discovery of a new antibiotic class in 30 years, a critical breakthrough amid rising bacterial resistance to existing drugs. Lariocidin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, preventing growth and reproduction.

Absolute zero, defined as 0 Kelvin (−273.15 °C), represents a theoretical limit where all thermal motion of particles ceases. However, the laws of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics make it impossible to reach this temperature. In particular, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle prevents particles from coming to a complete stop, and zero-point energy remains unattainable.
