Photons Collide in the Void: Quantum Simulation Creates Light Out of Nothing

Using advanced computational modelling, a research team led by the University of Oxford, working in partnership with the Instituto Superior Técnico in the University of Lisbon, has achieved the first-ever real-time, three-dimensional simulations of how intense laser beams alter the ‘quantum vacuum’ — a state once assumed to be empty,…

How outdated phones can power smart cities and save the seas

Each year, more than 1.2 billion smartphones are produced globally. The production of electronic devices is not only energy-intensive but also consumes valuable natural resources. Additionally, the manufacturing and delivery processes release a significant amount of CO2 into the atmosphere. Meanwhile, devices are aging faster than ever — users replace…

Hidden in your dna: The mutation combo that raises clot risk by 180%

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the chances of preventing blood clots. In Sweden, almost half of all cases of venous thrombosis have a genetic explanation. A team of researchers from Lund University in Sweden has…

160 million years ago, this fungus pierced trees like a microscopic spear

Blue-stain fungi constitute a distinctive group of wood-colonizing fungi which lack the ability to decompose wood lignocellulose, yet are capable of causing significant wood discoloration. Though these fungi are generally nonfatal to their hosts, they often accelerate tree mortality when associated with wood-boring insects. Molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest that blue-stain…
