Onsager principle on reciprocal relation

That’s thermodynamics. Another weird connection they have to explain somehow.

The rest you sent is basic explanations they could have lifted from Wikipedia, plus two equations where they shoehorn the Plank units into an expression of G using ≈. I’d give them credit for balancing the units like good engineers, at least, but this looks a lot like the equation for Hawking radiation temperature, so that may or may not be original work.

Hmm. Just me then. The rest of what I said stands.

I’m not a physicist either, but I’m close enough to tell you that this:

We further modeled the universe using the equation with Einstein’s lambda formalism and found that the universe dynamics could be considered as harmonic oscillators entangled with lambda curvature. This equation can be used to describe the energy transfer between two entangled spacetimes between the same universe and between any two universes (ER=EPR).

Sounds like gibberish. At the very least, these are all things they personally developed/made up. I’d read past the abstract, but it won’t load for me. Has it already been removed?

The fact that the authors are from the most misconduct-y region of the academic world and are engineers also doesn’t inspire confidence.

Yes, that is a synonym for the headline. Pretty doubtful this is real, though.

The masses of electrons, muons, and tau can be explained by the different curvatures of universe, galaxy, and solar system, respectively.

Yeah, that sounds like numerology. All three of those things are the same vague piles of dust, as far as fundamental physics is concerned.

Agh. Unfortunately I have a tendency to do that.

My point is just that an FUV-frequency oscillator isn’t the new thing, but rather an FUV oscillator that’s pinned at that exact frequency due to the laws of physics (specifically the strong and weak nuclear forces). There’s many applications, but don’t expect a 2PHz CPU or something.

One that’s particularly direct, if more of a party trick, is a handheld stopwatch that could detect the time dilation from relativity just as you walk around.

If anyone has specific questions, I’ll clear it up as much as I can.

To be clear, these are pumped by existing lasers. The nuclei just “light up” in response how close the frequency is to their resonant transition frequency, and are then use to make a feedback loop to keep the laser perfectly tuned. The technology that turns a laser beam into electronic ticks is the frequency comb, and it’s new-ish, but commercially available.

It is the first machine that makes direct use of the atomic forces, though, besides being more accurate and potentially solid-state. The high frequency has benefits in some applications, and either in this article or another they discuss how the stability of the frequency measured already rules out certain kinds of dark matter.

Or a modern bird, at that rate.

I mean, I don’t see why it would be any worse than the average mammal life.

Yeah, self-replicating machines could be cool. Not necessarily dangerous, too, depending on exactly how robust and good at using a variety of materials they are. If we just make a slightly different version of delicate seafloor bacteria that’s not very scary.

That being said, you could 3D print most of a normal electric motor. I’d have to actually read the research to know how this triboelectric design compares.

Big, big if. It says nothing about the actual manufacturing process. Also, the kind of movements smart watches make are large enough I’m guessing a balance of some kind already can capture a lot of it, if you don’t mind the feeling of having weights on your wrist.

It could potentially go on a device that could have been solar powered. That’s the only connection. This is only the beginning of how this article is clickbaity crap.

No and no. Electrical generators/motors are already nearly perfect. The difference here it that these ones are really tiny. Oh, and it says nothing about if they can build them any way except manually one at a time.

Shit, really? Why does anybody sign up to do it then?

Don’t you need to pay reviewers, though? Open access is great, but totally free seems unsustainable.

Scientists revealed that Neanderthals cared for their disabled children out of compassion

I mean it’s the obvious guess, but compassion doesn’t leave a direct fossil record. In the paper the thing they emphasise is that it was an obviously permanent disability, so there couldn’t have been a practical survival motivation.

Also, yeah, not good writing.

Low-temperature alloys are always fun.

I’m not sure if I’d call salt dirt, personally, although it is a kind of rock.

Suggested changes: “All identical but some are better” for the lanthanides, Ac in with “let it slumber”, a new nuclear region for Th-Pu, and elements Am up in with the nameless radioactive elements.

Which also works in being something you instantly associate with America.

You’re probably thinking of amyloid plaques, which were different and are now somewhat suspect as an explanation.
