Research reveals a simple parabolic equation governing melting points, demonstrating a fundamental unity across various materials and advancing phase transition understanding. Credit: SciTechDaily.comA professor has developed a groundbreaking theory that provides a universal method for predicting melting points, addressing a century-old challenge in physics and offering significant benefits to materials science.A longstanding problem in physics has finally been cracked by Professor Kostya Trachenko of Queen Mary…

There are a few things in life that feel like heaven: a freshly made bed, the first ice cream of the season, and cuddles from a dog. Dogs can make everything better, yet sadly, humans betray their four-legged friends. Gucci, an 11-year-old Chihuahua mix, was losing hope at the shelter until 100-year-old Johanna decided to open her heart and her home to the senior pup. Now, the pair is inseparable, and Johanna is convinced that he is the reason why she feels great at her age.More info: Muttville Senior Dog RescueA shy…

At the company's 2023 Investor Day presentation, Tesla VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy described how the company's organizational structure is designed to ensure full accountability and a collaborative approach that makes sure manufacturing and automation considerations are part of every engineering and design decision."The places I used to work and the top manufacturing companies in the world, they don't sit together," said Moravy. "They're not one team. All of those teams, engineering, manufacturing, design,…

A team of scientists, led by researchers at Yale University, think they have finally figured out why land plants evolved such complex vascular systems – a mystery that has stood for roughly a century.When land plants first sprung into being roughly 500 million years ago, their vascular systems were extremely simple.The insides of their roots and stems looked sort of like bundles of straws, which would pull in water and nutrients from the surrounding environment.Around 420 million years ago, however, this straightforward…

This visualization captures the 3D mathematical space used to map human color perception. A new mathematical representation has found that the line segments representing the distance between widely separated colors don’t add up correctly using the previously accepted geometry. The research contradicts long-held assumptions and will improve a variety of practical applications of color theory.

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A new study corrects an important error in the 3D mathematical space developed by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Erwin Schrödinger and others, and used by scientists and industry for more than 100 years to describe how your eye distinguishes one color from another. The research has the potential to boost scientific data visualizations, improve TVs and recalibrate the textile and paint…
