Physicists Blow Up Gold With Giant Lasers, Accidentally Disprove Renowned Physics Model

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-07 02:00:07

Scientists equipped with giant lasers have blown up gold at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, heating it to 14 times its boiling point. For a chilling second, they thought they broke physics, but they fortunately did no such thing. That said, they broke something else: a decades-long model in physical chemistry having to do with the fundamental properties of matter. In an experiment presented today in Nature, researchers, for the first time ever, demonstrated a way to directly measure the t

The second season of Peacemaker, starring WWE champion and actor John Cena, is just around the corner.

I dropped Gemini for Bixby for a week, and I’m so glad that I did

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-07 12:00:03

Andy Walker / Android Authority When Samsung launched Bixby in 2017, it wasn’t well received. The virtual assistant, intended to rival Google Assistant, wasn’t nearly as mature or capable as it is now. Nevertheless, Samsung tried to push it onto users with a dedicated button well before it was ready. The voice assistant landscape has changed significantly since then. Google Gemini has replaced Assistant as my primary voice channel, but it hasn’t been smooth sailing. I’ve encountered many proble

Soon, the reminders you create in Google Keep will be saved directly to Tasks. With Google Keep being the final service using Reminders, the latter will likely be deprecated after the transition is complete.
