Fronteiras do Pensamento
Universo numa casca de noz no meio da sala de estar Nos últimos meses, as nossas rotinas tiveram uma alteração considerável. O cotidiano foi adaptado para novas condições durante o isolamento social. E, mesmo que você não esteja apenas em casa, o que envolve os seus deslocamentos ou compromissos diários também requer pensamentos e planejamentos diferentes dos anteriores. Em essência, somos adaptáveis – com mais ou menos dificuldades. O que muda mesmo, pense com a gente agora, é a nossa noção de tempo. O dia transcorre, estamos em casa sozinhos ou com as crianças e familiares. Às vez... mais »

The International Space Station is home to the Cold Atom Lab — one of the coldest places in the known Universe. (NASA) Quantum matter in the coolest place in space Physicists have made a Bose–Einstein condensate on the International Space Station. (Bose–Einstein condensates form when clouds of atoms are chilled to just above absolute zero and they coalesce into a single macroscopic quantum object.) The results are a proof-of-principle showing that the Cold Atom Lab can successfully exploit the microgravity of space in ways that should allow scientists to create phenomena that would b... mais »

Physicists entangle 15 trillion hot atoms By Tim Childers - Live Science Contributor 4 days agoomments (3) [image: Abstract illustration of quantum entanglement.] (Image: © Shutterstock) Physicists set a new record by linking together a hot soup of 15 trillion atoms in a bizarre phenomenon called quantum entanglement. The finding could be a major breakthrough for creating more accurate sensors to detect ripples in space-time called gravitational waves or even the elusive dark matter thought to pervade the universe. Entanglement, a quantum phenomena *Albert Einstein* famously described a... mais »

This Is Your Brain on Anger Anger is natural, even necessary, and it can be highly productive if properly channeled [image: Robert Roy Britt] Robert Roy Britt Follow Jun 9 · 6 min read Photo: Olivier Douliery/AFP/Getty Images There’s no shortage of anger in America right now. For many people, the roots of it run deep, stretching back lifetimes and beyond. Occasionally, and visibly of late, anger can explode into rage.

We quietly rely on their special properties to carry the backbone of countless parts of our society — all because they are an irreducible part of the very fabric of nature. Resistant to any further factorization, prime numbers are often referred to as the “atoms” of the math world. As Carl Sagan so... mais »

Flags
How flags unite (and divide) us 15:18 minutes · TEDxTAMUSalon Flags are one of the simplest yet most powerful pieces of design ever conceived. They can make us swell with pride, burn with hatred -- and even inspire people to die or kill in their name, says vexillologist Michael Green. Take a brief walk through history as Green explores the symbolic fervor behind flags that unify and divide, inviting us to imagine a future where we can come together under one collective identity: humanity.
