QGP, a state of matter where quarks and gluons roam freely, is thought to have existed only microseconds after the Big Bang, marking a critical phase in the universe’s evolution. Studying the plasma’s temperature has been an elusive challenge for decades. The team at Rice University overcame this hurdle by observing the thermal emissions of electron-positron pairs, using them as an unprecedented thermometer to measure the heat produced during high-energy collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Their findings, published in Nature Communications, reveal new insights into the birth of the universe. Peering into the Heart of Quark-Gluon Plasma…

New Delhi: Hitting out at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s ‘PM Modi will dance for votes’ remarks, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Nalin Kohli on Wednesday asserted that the leader of the opposition has “no agenda other than abusing the prime minister”.Speaking to ANI, the BJP leader said, “Rahul Gandhi often uses inappropriate words, and when it comes to PM Modi, he and many of his Congress party leaders use similar terminology.

Less than a fortnight after the Omar Abdullah-led National Conference (NC) government marked its first year in office in Jammu and Kashmir, the rumblings of discontent have got louder in the ruling party.Last Sunday, senior NC leader and Anantnag-Rajouri MP, Mian Altaf Ahmad, seemed to echo the party’s Srinagar MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on the issue of the Omar government’s performance, saying that it has failed to fulfil the party’s political promises and that an improvement in governance is required. While Ruhullah, 48, has been at odds with Omar on a range of issues over the last year, this…

This method, which taps into the principles of quantum physics, could not only revolutionize the search for dark matter but also have far-reaching applications in fields like GPS, medical imaging, and gravitational wave detection. According to the researchers, these advances offer a promising path forward, moving quantum sensors from theoretical experiments to real-world tools. What Makes Dark Matter So Elusive? Dark matter, which makes up about 27% of the universe’s mass-energy content, cannot be directly observed or interacted with through conventional means. Yet, its presence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as galaxies. Despite decades of…

The “abroad dream” of many Indians is turning into a nightmare. While many Indians are adopting illegal routes to build a dream life in abroad, their desperation is being exploited by criminals.
