What Was Going On Before the Big Bang?

SPACE Here are theories of the pre-Big Bang universe. As most of us are aware our universe is 13. 8 billion years old. The apparent result of a big bang that expanded our universe into what it is today.

Magnets Become Fluid-like After Bombarding of a Laser

Magnets lose their properties in a split of a second after being hit by a laswer Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered why an ultra-thin magnet demagnetizes when hit by a laser.

Lithium-ion Batteries Charge Fast and Perform Better with a New Discovery

Researchers established the reason for battery’s instability and also a way to combat it With recent research from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute published in Nature Communications, it is now possible to create a lithium-ion battery that can charge in a matter of minutes and still operate at a high capacity.

Generating Electricity from Snowfall

A device that can work in remote areas, generates power, predicts weather station, rate, and direction of the snow and wind.

Recently Known Ways Insects and Bacteria Control Ice

Major proteins formed in bacteria and insects can either inhibit or promote the formation of ice Against the popular belief or what people might have been taught, water doesn't freeze to the ice at 32 degrees F (zero degrees C).

Singapore and Australian Scientists Build a Machine to See All Possible Futures

In the 2018 movie Infinity War, a scene featured Dr. Strange looking into 14 million possible futures to search for a single timeline where the heroes would be victorious. Perhaps he would have had an easier time with help from a quantum computer. A team of researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Griffith University in Australia has constructed a prototype quantum device that can generate all possible futures in a simultaneous quantum superposition.

Water That Never Freezes

Making ice cubes is a simple process: you take a plastic ice-cube tray like you'd find in most households, fill it with water and put it in the freezer. Before long, the water crystallizes and turns to ice.

The Star that Astronomers Say “Should Not Exist”

A very old star is found, and its contents are a bit weird. In the halo of the Milky Way, a tiny, ancient star called J0023+0307 drifts about. It's very old indeed, which isn't uncommon for stars in the halo-but it contains no detectable carbon, which is rather unusual.
