Quantum vortices have always been a fascinating phenomenon in the world of physics. A recent study conducted by researchers from Skoltech, Universitat Politècnica de València, Institute of Spectroscopy of RAS, University of Warsaw, and University of Iceland has delved into the spontaneous formation and synchronization of multiple quantum vortices in optically excited semiconductor microcavities. This
Brazil’s telecommunications regulator, Anatel, finds itself in the midst of a public confrontation with Elon Musk’s satellite internet firm Starlink. This conflict has intensified due to Brazil’s recent decision to block Musk’s social media company, X. The supreme court of Brazil issued a nationwide suspension of X last week after the company failed to appoint

When it comes to the efficiency of matching algorithms in various systems, computer scientists often turn to bipartite matching. This problem involves pairing two sets of elements in a way that maximizes overall satisfaction. While this concept is widely studied and applied in various fields, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Associate Professor Saket Navlakha saw an
The ability to shape light particles into a type of “super photon” with specific lattice structures has opened up a new realm of possibilities in the field of quantum physics. Researchers at the University of Bonn have made significant advancements in influencing the design of Bose-Einstein condensates by using “tiny nano molds.” This breakthrough paves
The issue of deepfake detection extends beyond the technology itself to the quality of the media being used in detection models. In many parts of the world, including Africa, lower-quality photos and videos produced by cheap smartphones can significantly impact the effectiveness of detection tools. Models trained on high-quality media may struggle to accurately identify
The recent release of Seekers of the Storm, the latest DLC for Risk of Rain 2, has caused quite a stir among fans of the co-op roguelite.
