To bad for those so called noble prize Winners.... hahahaha .... they did not present any registration of electrons observed. Only words and graphical simulations... plus you can’t pretend or insinuate to have violated the Heinsberg principle of indeterminacy with zero empirical material evidence. I wonder what the hell is the motivation behind this prize.

Even 40 years ago, a lot of scientist who studied the matter seriously did not think life would make it past 900 million years from now due to the brightening sun and carbon cycles.

interesting times fs. One of my professors is extremely interested in ultrafast dynamics, especially AOS. I worked with him over the summer studying HHG in Mn2RuGa computationally using DFT + dynamics. It was interesting research and he wanted to hire me on to keep working for him over the summer but there isn't enough funding. I also was supposed to attend the APS meeting in march and submit an abstract for my work, but they could not afford to send me and I can't afford to go. Regardless, I'm really interested in this topic and looking forward to doing more research EDIT: Not sure what changed, but they are paying for my travel expenses. So, I'm going to my first APS meeting in March. Super excited and nervous! Wish me luck
@@zbret antimatter versions of He3, tritium, and a small handful of He4 nuclei have been observe in LHC collisions. But each additional proton/neutron adds a factor of roughly 1/1000 to the production rate. So if CERN was delivering tritium nuclei instead of antiprotons to the antimatter experiments, the beam would have about a million times fewer particles (10 instead of 10 million per minute) and it would take a million times longer to collect the same statistics.
I read a similar article, the continents converge to one, but the extinction was ruled for the horrible weather that would result for most life being located so far from weather-moderating oceans (one really big ocean!).
I really enjoy that group of scientists that were hypothesizing about Auto Catalytic reactions. That's such a good way to approach thinking about life 🧬 *the mechanical uses of that nobel prize sounds so useful and i can't wait to see what benefits it might bring.
I find this kind of response very gratifying. The fact that science has a quite stern and proactive system of examination and reexamination of significant results means that those papers that do pass through this gauntlet of peer-reviewed scrutiny are far more likely to represent real progress.

I agree, so many people turned their nose up at the alpha result but it was a beautiful experiment and had to be done. Most (not all) reasons that people normally give as to why antimatter should fall down, were actually not correct. I believe Aegis countered most of the arguments in their first paper and there is a wikipedia page too I think. It would have been an amazing revolution in physics had it fallen up. I still think they should do more work to make sure that the result fits more squarely over g and not just barely covers it with error bars (wasn't it like 7.5 +- 2.5).
Yeah. There doesn't appear to be an anti-higgs field. The experiment shows that the anti-matter is interacting with the same higgs field as normal matter.
Some years ago after watching too many RUclips videos the question whether antimatter would fall upwards or downwards occurred to me. I am happy it has been answered now 🙂
I once attended a lecture on consciousness by a well known professor whose name I've unfortunately forgotten. He never defined the subject of his lecture, but it became apparent that his implicit definition was: 'consciousness is what neurons do'. Unsurprisingly he concluded that nematode worms are 'somewhat conscious' while machines can never be conscious! When asked for evidence of nematode consciousness he produced a microscope slide of a dissected worm and declared 'look - neurons'! All sides of this debate are indulging in pseudo-scientific hand-waving until there is a mutually agreed definition of consciousness independent of any theory of how it works or arises.
For the antimatter antigravity experiment, I was under the impression that the team measured the number of antihydrogen atoms that fell and compared it to the control experiment which measured the number of hydrogen atoms that fell. These percentages were nearly equivalent. If the number of antihydrogen particles that fell was less, it would indicate antigravity. They didn't actually measure the speed of the falling particles. Anyway, a null result is a valuable result.
Should they try with antimolecules ? I think it was not a 50/50 btw, it was 3/4 vs 1/4, and most of them went by the lower side. If they were 50/50 that might indicate they are indiferent to gravity, and that wasnt the result but gravity affects them. If they went by the upper side, they would have been affected by antigravity, I think (and I have questions about that, is antigravity suppossed to be, for this experiment in the case it resulted, antimatter being repeled by normal gravity created by normal matter?). I MIGHT BE WRONG, but I was listening to this experiment I think in Anton Petrov's channel. Edit: yes, he talked about this yesterday
@@EstamosDe It is hard to make them. The anti-H atoms are seemingly too hot to combine into H2. I am not aware if they have been trying to cool the anti-H atoms along the experiment. Maybe Sabine can shed some light on it.
@@EstamosDe yeah it wasn't exactly 50/50, but really close. Enough to warrant more experiments to see if the difference is real or due to experimental uncertainty.
I work on this experiment. You're correct that the speed of falling particles was not measured, but rather the number that fell vs rose. For the non-biased magnetic field, 94.5 fell down and 36.7 fell up. That is after subtracting a background in the detector due to cosmic rays, which is why it's a decimal. That's 72% falling down, and many sigma from 50%. And the antihydrogen isn't too hot to combine into H2, but first it's not even close to dense enough, and second, the groundstate of the H2 molecule doesn't have a magnetic moment, so H2 wouldn't be trapped in the magnetic minimum trap like H is.
The mind is an emergent phenomena that arises from the hierarchical interactions that take place in the brain, It exists because the consciousness is smeared across time. The "present moment" is actually about 100ms long, You can consider this like having a huge slew rate - or, a huge lag. This is a significantly huge amount of time compared to the amount of time it takes for individual interactions to take in the brain. This would lead to systems having informational feedback, that would cycle within the time window of the present moment. Which would be a good condition for emergence to happen. As Information processing spreads across time, it also spreads across the system, and each moment of the awareness is looking backwards at itself, in this sort of self re-iterating cycle the marches forward temporally. Then, the information that the brain is getting from itself, leads to a self-modulating, guided rerouting of pathways. And this leads to the sense that really matters, the ability to sense the self. I think the ability to sense the self is a sense just like vision or smell... except there is no external receptor for it... it arises from the cycle of feedback and self-modulation, that just goes on forever until you die. :D Unfortunately it leads to this sort of conundrum of awareness. And that's brains! That's what the mushrooms told me. Usually what they say is half true and half lie... so I'm probably half right.
Some few year ago while i qas taking a class on optics, it arise to the conversation the subject of light pulses, our professor told us about some people being able to achieve ligh pulses on the atto scale.
Hey Sabine, I'm loving taking the Quizwithit's quizes, they're super fun! I couldn't check the quiz's answer even though I signed up, though. Also, the background color for when you select an option by clicking on its button is too similar to its unselected version, you might want to increase contrast a bit. If I might make another suggestion, after I submit my answer, it takes a while for the quiz to move to the next question. That's not a problem in and of itself, but it might be better to add a loading animation like a rotating circle of something. As it is, it seems like the page is frozen. Happy physicing! Oh, wait, wrong channel.
It seems like the delay is actually present by design, maybe with a sleep(number_of_seconds) method or something. If that's the case, it should be even more important to add an animation to let users know everything is working as intended.
honestly. i'm on board with labeling any theory of consciousness pseudo science, because as of yet, we've got no clue how to even determine whether something is conscious or not much less know what it is & how it occurs, the problem is, consciousness is a very subjective thing. only you can be sure that you're conscious. thus making objective scientific theories for it would be very hard. unless we can figure out a way to test whether something is truly conscious. we have no theory of consciousness, and thats the problem.
@@traumflug it does exist, the fact that you experience consciousness is proof of that. however, it's an entirely subjective phenomenon. only you can be sure of your own consciousness. thus finding a way to test it objectively would be very hard. not impossible tho. i definitely think it should be studied
Recently reviewed a social science article deriding non- standard definitions of the subject parameters. It appears this is affecting many branches of science, especially the younger ones, whose definitions are also relatively new.
I study now at the same university as Ferenc Krausz and as a young Hungarian student researcher I’m really proud that this year 2 Hungarians got Nobel prizes (Katalin Karikó as well)
I love this stuff, although as I dropped Physics in school around the *age of 15, all this is way above my paygrade! Although it is probably impossible to get anything close to Plank time, I’m sure a quectosecond laser will be developed at some point in the future, which might make the study of exotic sub atomic particles without the need hadron colliders (if my limited understanding of the subject is not too incorrect).
Sabine, please give more explanation about attosecond light pulses. Taking light speed into account, these pulses would have a length of less than a nanometer. How do I imagine such a pulse? Does it have the shape of a tiny pancake? How many photons are in there?
LCLS-II repetition rate is million times a second, not a million times a minute. Thanks for including it in the news round up though! Thousands of people have been working on this for about ten years.
Sabine, I was wondering if there could be an experiment that this attosecond physics research could be used in analyzing the mystery of gravity, that is, specifically checking on the theory of Tom Van Flandern on the speed of gravity. Van Flandern, who formerly did astrodynamics work for NASA, held a PhD in astronomy from Yale, specializing in Celestial Mechanics. In his work, he claims to have found that the speed of gravity is at least 2 x10^10c, or 6 x 10^18 m/sec. An attosecond experiment would translate to a ~ 6-meter gravity reach. Applying a short time to a measurable distance.
Sabine. You wrote a paper about computability, right? I know you have this one video about computability and decidability. But could you please also consider making a video why physicists consider chaos more relevant than computability und decidability? As a computer scientist I would love to hear your opinion in this.
Dear Sabine, I want to congratulate you for the outstanding quality, clarity, and humor of your videos - great job! Please keep up the excellent work. On another note, I find myself aligned with Daniel Dennett's perspective in opposition to David Chalmers (and yourself) when it comes to Integrated Information Theory (IIT) being considered "pseudoscience." This viewpoint arises from the fact that it's increasingly challenging to differentiate pseudoscience from IIT, especially considering the groundwork laid by Scott Aaronson and others in this field. Their work has made it difficult to distinguish the consciousness stemming from IIT from other forms of consciousness. In fact, I do appreciate the "pseudoscience" label, as it might incentivize proponents of IIT to strive harder to gain acceptance. In a way, I see David Chalmers' comment as akin to a "Woke-defensive comment" within the realm of science. Once again, thank you for your fantastic content. Warm regards, Antonio from Mexico City 🇲🇽
To get attoseccond pulsed laser light, take a femptosecond laser and shine it through a cell that has a high non-linear coefficient, hydrogen or methane work well. Then take the output and use negative dispersion mirrors to stack the modes on top of one another. It shortens the femptosecond pulse into attoseconds. It is usually a diode pumped Ti:sapphire laser sent through crystals that make UV then use the UV to pump a wide band optical parametric oscillator and use a special mirror to cause the frequencies to stack on one another.❤
Hello, thanks for the news! I have been always fascinated by the Chemoton theory as a speculative model for the abiogenesis of life on Earth. Does this new "database" of autocatalytic reactions include it as a subset? I cannot find the reference to the paper in your video description!
I found that fascinating, about that research on electrons and do those measurements in the attoseconds, wow. Would like to see more about that, it s very interesting!
I just realised how big attosecond measure is for quantum computation, like for most qubits they have a lifespan of microseconds, this is very much the case for solid state qubits like coloured NV-centre, implanted ion nuclear spin qubits or gate transistor qubits, they often have relaxation time of microsecond scale, so ultrafast control would mean even that kind of relaxation time is enough for many cycles of operation, and optical control is often the easiest way to deal with solid state qubits. I just can't wait to see what people can do with it. Of course you can't manipulate spin that fast in gate transistor qubits, but it might be useful if someone wants to make a light-semiconductor interface, I don't know.
Hi Sabine, could you elaborate on why antiparticles would have different inertial than gravitational mass if anti particles would anti gravitate? Love your channel!
Considering how he got the Frontiers of knowledge award and the wolf award, I'm also surprised that he got left out like that... specially when the discovery they are giving these people the nobel for was something he already discovered back in 2001. He's contributed more than anyone in the field, yet they left him out like trash. Total and utter disrespect. Modern academia is a joke.
That becomes immediately obvious when you do a measurement where you need light at one point in time, but no light an attosecond later. Think of a flashlight. Think of an experiment where you can get a sharp picture of a very fast movement by not opening and closing the camera shutter that fast, but by doing it in the dark and give light only for a fraction of a second, typically done with a flashlight.
Suppose everything is expanding outward (into perhaps space-time for example.) And observers made of ordinary matter are moving at slightly slowed rate compared to photons. Then the difference in rate is the speed of light. An ordinary matter object moving relative to an observer is then catching up with the rate of expansion outward of a photon. And at the speed of light goes outward at the same pace as a photon.
Yep, 1GPa (10000 bar) is "moderate" pressure. There are several technologies around to do it, the main restriction being how big your sample can be because of the stored energy risk. For a diamond anvil cell (DAC), where the sample sizes are order mm cubed, 1GPa is almost too low. There's an onset effect where it takes a little bit of force to pre-squish the surrounding seals before you actually start applying force to the sample and if you get impatient and rush this, it's like "damn I'm at 3GPa already." Below 5GPa with DAC is cheap and easy, even up to 20GPa or so is not too hard. After that it starts getting tricky.
Well, the million dollar question is how to achieve and sustain such pressures without any anvil, isn't it? It's well known how to get 100 bars in a gas bottle and keep that for years. Do that with 10'000 bars, that custom material and in a streched form and you've invented a *_usable_* room temperature superconductor.
@@traumflug For sure. Materials that are only superconducting at way above atmospheric pressure will probably not have practical application. But I've done experiments up to 10GPa, and I'm well aware that, as far as the high pressure community is concerned, that's seen as pretty wussy.
I lost out for beam time at PSI this year to an experiment to see whether muonium falls upwards (which we think it can't) and an experiment to measure the electric dipole of the muon (which, since we think it's a point particle, we think can't possibly be nonzero). :-(
"I've often wished for a platform to collect them [publications] and compare them and get them rated for accuracy." Why do you think we watch your youtube channel? You are one of those platforms. I appreciate it, and will continue to enjoy, collect, compare, and rate your platform against others. :)
Is that the eperiment on attosecond,opens to humanity new view' s about new tipes of matematics where miror numeric paterns and quarters of numeric fixed paterns can lead,to new chemistry's specially and much more fast and simple understanding arround functionality of everything as "an all".What do you think Sabine?I love Schrodinger but not the way he approuched the cats🔎

I work on this experiment. You're correct that the speed of falling particles was not measured, but rather the number that fell vs rose. For the non-biased magnetic field, 94.5 fell down and 36.7 fell up. That is after subtracting a background in the detector due to cosmic rays, which is why it's a decimal. That's 72% falling down, and many sigma from 50%. And the antihydrogen isn't too hot to combine into H2, but first it's not even close to dense enough, and second, the groundstate of the H2 molecule doesn't have a magnetic moment, so H2 wouldn't be trapped in the magnetic minimum trap like H is.
@@crazedvidmaker Thanks for the reply! It was an ingenious set up I must say.
Hope this advanced physics one day bring peace on earth
The mind is an emergent phenomena that arises from the hierarchical interactions that take place in the brain, It exists because the consciousness is smeared across time. The "present moment" is actually about 100ms long, You can consider this like having a huge slew rate - or, a huge lag.
This is a significantly huge amount of time compared to the amount of time it takes for individual interactions to take in the brain.
This would lead to systems having informational feedback, that would cycle within the time window of the present moment. Which would be a good condition for emergence to happen.
As Information processing spreads across time, it also spreads across the system, and each moment of the awareness is looking backwards at itself, in this sort of self re-iterating cycle the marches forward temporally.
Then, the information that the brain is getting from itself, leads to a self-modulating, guided rerouting of pathways. And this leads to the sense that really matters, the ability to sense the self.
I think the ability to sense the self is a sense just like vision or smell... except there is no external receptor for it... it arises from the cycle of feedback and self-modulation, that just goes on forever until you die. :D
Unfortunately it leads to this sort of conundrum of awareness.
And that's brains!
That's what the mushrooms told me. Usually what they say is half true and half lie... so I'm probably half right.
Some few year ago while i qas taking a class on optics, it arise to the conversation the subject of light pulses, our professor told us about some people being able to achieve ligh pulses on the atto scale.
I tried Ground News, and find it quite useful.
good video as always.
Hey Sabine, I'm loving taking the Quizwithit's quizes, they're super fun! I couldn't check the quiz's answer even though I signed up, though. Also, the background color for when you select an option by clicking on its button is too similar to its unselected version, you might want to increase contrast a bit. If I might make another suggestion, after I submit my answer, it takes a while for the quiz to move to the next question. That's not a problem in and of itself, but it might be better to add a loading animation like a rotating circle of something. As it is, it seems like the page is frozen. Happy physicing! Oh, wait, wrong channel.
It seems like the delay is actually present by design, maybe with a sleep(number_of_seconds) method or something. If that's the case, it should be even more important to add an animation to let users know everything is working as intended.
Oh it is Quizwithit. At first I read shitwhit. Then I thought, what is a shitwhit, and how is that related to the nitwit.
Just discovered this channel and I aspire to be this women and have the confidence she has. Good god she is brilliant.
Thanks for the video :)
honestly. i'm on board with labeling any theory of consciousness pseudo science, because as of yet, we've got no clue how to even determine whether something is conscious or not much less know what it is & how it occurs, the problem is, consciousness is a very subjective thing. only you can be sure that you're conscious. thus making objective scientific theories for it would be very hard. unless we can figure out a way to test whether something is truly conscious. we have no theory of consciousness, and thats the problem.
That's why we need a science section for that. To find that theory. I mean, you do agree that consciousness does exist, don't you?
@@traumflug it does exist, the fact that you experience consciousness is proof of that. however, it's an entirely subjective phenomenon. only you can be sure of your own consciousness. thus finding a way to test it objectively would be very hard. not impossible tho. i definitely think it should be studied
Thanks for all the news, Sabine! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
A saw an online lecture with Daniel Dennett a few days ago. He was one of the IIT signatories, and discussed it as one of the lecture topics.
Recently reviewed a social science article deriding non- standard definitions of the subject parameters. It appears this is affecting many branches of science, especially the younger ones, whose definitions are also relatively new.
I study now at the same university as Ferenc Krausz and as a young Hungarian student researcher I’m really proud that this year 2 Hungarians got Nobel prizes (Katalin Karikó as well)

I love this stuff, although as I dropped Physics in school around the *age of 15, all this is way above my paygrade!
Although it is probably impossible to get anything close to Plank time, I’m sure a quectosecond laser will be developed at some point in the future, which might make the study of exotic sub atomic particles without the need hadron colliders (if my limited understanding of the subject is not too incorrect).
Thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sabine, please give more explanation about attosecond light pulses. Taking light speed into account, these pulses would have a length of less than a nanometer. How do I imagine such a pulse? Does it have the shape of a tiny pancake? How many photons are in there?
LCLS-II repetition rate is million times a second, not a million times a minute. Thanks for including it in the news round up though! Thousands of people have been working on this for about ten years.
I love your wry, dry, sense of humour!
Sabine, I was wondering if there could be an experiment that this attosecond physics research could be used in analyzing the mystery of gravity, that is, specifically checking on the theory of Tom Van Flandern on the speed of gravity. Van Flandern, who formerly did astrodynamics work for NASA, held a PhD in astronomy from Yale, specializing in Celestial Mechanics.
In his work, he claims to have found that the speed of gravity is at least 2 x10^10c, or 6 x 10^18 m/sec. An attosecond experiment would translate to a ~ 6-meter gravity reach. Applying a short time to a measurable distance.
Antimatter does not antigravitate because that would violate energy conservation. Also would make photons not only massless but completely evanescent
Sabine. You wrote a paper about computability, right? I know you have this one video about computability and decidability. But could you please also consider making a video why physicists consider chaos more relevant than computability und decidability? As a computer scientist I would love to hear your opinion in this.
Dear Sabine,
I want to congratulate you for the outstanding quality, clarity, and humor of your videos - great job! Please keep up the excellent work.
On another note, I find myself aligned with Daniel Dennett's perspective in opposition to David Chalmers (and yourself) when it comes to Integrated Information Theory (IIT) being considered "pseudoscience." This viewpoint arises from the fact that it's increasingly challenging to differentiate pseudoscience from IIT, especially considering the groundwork laid by Scott Aaronson and others in this field. Their work has made it difficult to distinguish the consciousness stemming from IIT from other forms of consciousness.
In fact, I do appreciate the "pseudoscience" label, as it might incentivize proponents of IIT to strive harder to gain acceptance. In a way, I see David Chalmers' comment as akin to a "Woke-defensive comment" within the realm of science.
Once again, thank you for your fantastic content.
Warm regards,
Antonio from Mexico City 🇲🇽
doing a quiz for the video is such an awesome idea
that was very fun
I believe in the breakdown of the bi-camoral minds summary. I think you have an abstract speech center and a primary one.
To get attoseccond pulsed laser light, take a femptosecond laser and shine it through a cell that has a high non-linear coefficient, hydrogen or methane work well. Then take the output and use negative dispersion mirrors to stack the modes on top of one another. It shortens the femptosecond pulse into attoseconds. It is usually a diode pumped Ti:sapphire laser sent through crystals that make UV then use the UV to pump a wide band optical parametric oscillator and use a special mirror to cause the frequencies to stack on one another.❤
Hello, thanks for the news! I have been always fascinated by the Chemoton theory as a speculative model for the abiogenesis of life on Earth. Does this new "database" of autocatalytic reactions include it as a subset? I cannot find the reference to the paper in your video description!
That pickup line works!
Bravó Magyarok :Karikó Katalin Élettani-Orvosi Nobel. Krausz Ferenc Fizikai Nobel. Köszönöm nekik , hogy Büszke lehetek rájuk.🙂
Wow, that was a tough one. The only thing I understood was that new hook up line. I'll let you know if it works.
The video sponsor, Ground News, is very impressive and very inexpensive. It is good to see them throwing some money up for this video.
Hyatt Regency Might be the Hillton Hotels.
Or Else It's The Hotel Host Group
Was that second call who I think it was?! - everything is relative. If it's my version then you held his attention longer than we can.
Hi Sabine, love your condensed news format.
if there was a substance whose inertial mass and gravitational mass had opposite signs, would it be inconsistent with established physical laws?
i pay for Ground News. it’s terrific.
Woo physics which is how I fell all year. Got to love her energy😊
Fantastic. As one who measured uncertainty down to 6 femto seconds, using a million-dollar machine. Complex yes but useful.
I found that fascinating, about that research on electrons and do those measurements in the attoseconds, wow. Would like to see more about that, it s very interesting!
I just realised how big attosecond measure is for quantum computation, like for most qubits they have a lifespan of microseconds, this is very much the case for solid state qubits like coloured NV-centre, implanted ion nuclear spin qubits or gate transistor qubits, they often have relaxation time of microsecond scale, so ultrafast control would mean even that kind of relaxation time is enough for many cycles of operation, and optical control is often the easiest way to deal with solid state qubits. I just can't wait to see what people can do with it. Of course you can't manipulate spin that fast in gate transistor qubits, but it might be useful if someone wants to make a light-semiconductor interface, I don't know.
Hi Sabine, could you elaborate on why antiparticles would have different inertial than gravitational mass if anti particles would anti gravitate?
Love your channel!
The question was not 'why' but 'whether.'
I wish Paul Corkum had been one of the recipients
Considering how he got the Frontiers of knowledge award and the wolf award, I'm also surprised that he got left out like that... specially when the discovery they are giving these people the nobel for was something he already discovered back in 2001. He's contributed more than anyone in the field, yet they left him out like trash. Total and utter disrespect. Modern academia is a joke.
🎉thanks 🎉 short time !
Wisdom with an entertainment is a rare combination!
Hmmm what is interesting about very short pulses of light compared to light of very high frequency (very short period)?
That becomes immediately obvious when you do a measurement where you need light at one point in time, but no light an attosecond later.
Think of a flashlight. Think of an experiment where you can get a sharp picture of a very fast movement by not opening and closing the camera shutter that fast, but by doing it in the dark and give light only for a fraction of a second, typically done with a flashlight.
@@traumflug If that's the case, i imagine the duration between pulses is as important as the length of one pulse
Suppose everything is expanding outward (into perhaps space-time for example.) And observers made of ordinary matter are moving at slightly slowed rate compared to photons. Then the difference in rate is the speed of light. An ordinary matter object moving relative to an observer is then catching up with the rate of expansion outward of a photon. And at the speed of light goes outward at the same pace as a photon.
Yep, 1GPa (10000 bar) is "moderate" pressure. There are several technologies around to do it, the main restriction being how big your sample can be because of the stored energy risk.
For a diamond anvil cell (DAC), where the sample sizes are order mm cubed, 1GPa is almost too low. There's an onset effect where it takes a little bit of force to pre-squish the surrounding seals before you actually start applying force to the sample and if you get impatient and rush this, it's like "damn I'm at 3GPa already." Below 5GPa with DAC is cheap and easy, even up to 20GPa or so is not too hard. After that it starts getting tricky.
Well, the million dollar question is how to achieve and sustain such pressures without any anvil, isn't it? It's well known how to get 100 bars in a gas bottle and keep that for years. Do that with 10'000 bars, that custom material and in a streched form and you've invented a *_usable_* room temperature superconductor.
@@traumflug For sure. Materials that are only superconducting at way above atmospheric pressure will probably not have practical application.
But I've done experiments up to 10GPa, and I'm well aware that, as far as the high pressure community is concerned, that's seen as pretty wussy.
I lost out for beam time at PSI this year to an experiment to see whether muonium falls upwards (which we think it can't) and an experiment to measure the electric dipole of the muon (which, since we think it's a point particle, we think can't possibly be nonzero). :-(
Golly! I remember 'Computing' or 'Computer Weekly' reporting IBM Labs achieving femto-second pulses. (Some time in the 90s?)
Wow, what a lovely lady. Loved your video. Subscribing you for weekly science videos.
10:46 so, finding that antimatter does not anti-gravitate mostly rules out the “moving backwards in time” hypothesis of antimatter. Right?
"I've often wished for a platform to collect them [publications] and compare them and get them rated for accuracy." Why do you think we watch your youtube channel? You are one of those platforms. I appreciate it, and will continue to enjoy, collect, compare, and rate your platform against others. :)
One of the most important italian newspapers wrote that they won Nobel Prize for inventing attoseconds.
Winner! Definitly worth an attoboy!
10:19 Did Sabine just mispronounce the word "Duh"? Love you, Sabine. Keep up the great work!
Is that the eperiment on attosecond,opens to humanity new view' s about new tipes of matematics where miror numeric paterns and quarters of numeric fixed paterns can lead,to new chemistry's specially and much more fast and simple understanding arround functionality of everything as "an all".What do you think Sabine?I love Schrodinger but not the way he approuched the cats🔎
