Unraveling the Mystery of Matter: STAR Physicists Prove the Existence of a «Baryon Junction» Inside the Proton

Science 08/17/2026, 05:18
🔬 Physicists from the STAR collaboration at the RHIC collider have confirmed the existence of a «baryon junction» — a complex gluon structure inside the proton. Experiments showed that the baryon number is transferred differently than electric charge, which changes our understanding of the structure of matter and helps solve the mystery of the asymmetry of the Universe. #Physics #Science #Proton #RHIC #STAR

Atomic structure of titanium dioxide demonstrating quantum effects at one-atom thickness

Quantum Paradox: Titanium Dioxide Gains 'Superpowers' at One-Atom Thickness

Science 08/10/2026, 01:43
🔬 **Breakthrough in Microelectronics:** Scientists from Berkeley discovered that ordinary titanium dioxide (TiO₂) becomes ferroelectric at a thickness of less than 3 nm. 📉 **Effect Intensifies:** The thinner the film (down to 1 nm), the stronger the effect. This contradicts classical physics. 💾 **Future of Memory:** The technology will allow the creation of ultra-compact non-volatile memory and energy-efficient processors. ⚠️ **Challenges:** The durability of the material and the number of rewrite cycles are currently unknown. Years of research remain before mass adoption.

Consciousness as the Foundation of Reality: Why Maria Strömme's Article Caused a Scandal and Was Retracted

Science 08/06/2026, 20:56
🧠 **Consciousness vs. Matter: The 2026 Scientific Scandal** An article by Swedish scientist Maria Strömme, claiming that consciousness is the foundation of reality, caused a storm in academic circles and was retracted by the journal AIP Advances. 🔹 **Essence of the theory:** Matter is merely a projection of the field of consciousness, and we are local waves in this ocean. 🔹 **Reason for retraction:** Impossibility of experimental verification and lack of physical units of measurement. 🔹 **Outcome:** The article was retracted, but the original is available and continues to be studied. #science #physics #consciousness #news2026
