Partículas Híbridas
Cientistas criam partículas híbridas de luz e matéria com novos comportamentosPor Natasha Romanzoti, em 5.07.2019 Pesquisadores da Universidade de Chicago, nos EUA, criaram partículas híbridas – metade átomo, metade luz – que podem se comportar de formas totalmente novas. Meio átomo, meio fóton A ideia surgiu a partir de uma característica dos átomos que normalmente serve para nos permitir identificá-los: cada átomo absorve e emite luz de um jeito, e essa “assinatura” é igual em qualquer lugar do universo, seja aqui na Terra ou no meio do espaço. Os cientistas já sabiam que campos e... mais »

Professor João Carlos Prolla +
Waldomiro Carlos Manfroi Wmanfroi Nossa, cada dia que passa, temos mais uma desagradável surpresa. Hoje, ao abrir meu computador, fui informado que nosso querido Professor Emérito, João Carlos Prolla, nos deixou, ontem. Há poucos dias, eu e minha mulher Lília ainda falamos sobre ele e a Maria. Estávamos nos imaginando em dívidas. Como entender que pessoas tão queridas não víamos há muito tempo. Como somos contemporâneos dos serviços da Santa Casa, que forneceram a matriz para que o HCPA fosse o que é hoje, muitas coisas teríamos para lembrar e reviver. Lembraríamos, também, que 1986... mais »

fragile topology
[image: Overlapping two sheets of graphene shows a characteristic pattern.] Misaligned layers of graphene seem to exhibit a phenomenon known as fragile topology. (Juliette Halsey for Nature) Almost every solid might be topological ‘Fragile topology’ is a newly discovered type of topological behaviour — a group of quantum phenomena that is rapidly becoming essential for understanding the properties of solid matter. In topological materials, some electrons share collective quantum states that contribute to exotic behaviour such as superconductivity. Fragile topology — only now being hi... mais »

Hadrian and Antinous
3 FLASHBACKThis Roman Emperor Lost His Lover and Turned Him Into a God Hadrian had lost Antinous, but he wasn’t about to let the younger man’s face be forgotten. In the last week of October, 130 A.D. a man died and a god was born. But this man was no king. In fact, not much is known about his lineage at all. Still, he was by no means ordinary. He was the lover of the most powerful man in the world at the time, Emperor Hadrian, and his name can be found scrawled beneath countless statues and busts scattered throughout museums the world over: Antinous. If Antinous had not drowned whe... mais »

flu pandemic
Why another flu pandemic is likely just a matter of when Jun 18, 2019 6:20 PM EDT*Recomendado pela AMICOR Maria Inês Reinert Azambuja* Despite the availability of vaccines, the flu still kills tens of thousands of people in the U.S. each year, and hundreds of thousands more worldwide. But public health officials fear that an even graver threat lies ahead: the emergence of a new, much more deadly flu virus. As William Brangham reports, the scenario has occurred before.

Sole Walking without shoes builds calluses, but that does not limit sensation By Karen Weintraub on June 26, 2019[image: Going Barefoot Is Good for the Sole] Evolutionary biologist Daniel E.

Lieberman, a professor of biological sciences at Harvard University, also started running barefoot himself as an experiment and kept doing it because he enjoyed it.

Deepfakes
'Deepfakes' Are Videos Designed to Trick You Into Thinking They're Real. But There's a Way to Detect ThemSIWEI LYU, SUNY ALBANY / THE CONVERSATION JUNE 28, 2019 Deepfake videos are hard for untrained eyes to detect because they can be quite realistic. Whether used as personal weapons of revenge, to manipulate financial markets or to destabilize international relations, videos depicting people doing and saying things they never did or said are a fundamental threat to the longstanding idea that “seeing is believing.” Not anymore. Most deepfakes are made by showing a computer algorith... mais »
