More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

Florida State University scientists study quantum properties of cesium-vanadium-antimonide. In quantum physics, the name Kagome, an ancient design seen in traditional Japanese basket-weaving, has been borrowed by scientists to describe a class of ferromagnetic quantum materials with an atomic structure closely resembling this distinctive lattice pattern. A new Florida State...

The findings may lead to the creation of the most precise clock ever, facilitating advancements in deep space navigation and communication. Using a laser to raise the energy state of an atom’s nucleus, known as excitation, can lead to the development of the most precise atomic clocks. This process has been challenging because the electrons surrounding the nucleus are highly reactive to light, necessitating more light to affect the nucleus. UCLA physicists have overcome this by bonding the electrons with fluorine in a transparent crystal, allowing them to excite the neutrons in a thorium atom’s nucleus using a moderate amount of laser light. This achievement paves the way for significantly more accurate measurements of time, gravity, and other fields, far surpassing the current accuracy levels provided by atomic electrons.

In the world of astrophysics, the complex dynamics of supermassive black holes and their role in galaxy formation continue to present fascinating puzzles for scientists. A significant breakthrough in understanding these celestial giants has been made by an international team of astronomers in collaboration with scientists at the National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO).

Magnetic winds fuel the growth of black holes

A study has revealed that galaxies possess a regulatory mechanism similar to a heart and lungs, which controls their growth by limiting gas absorption. This mechanism, involving a supermassive black hole and its jet emissions, prevents galaxies from expanding too rapidly, ensuring their longevity and preventing premature aging into “zombie” galaxies.
