Cloud-based quantum computing
Cloud-based quantum computing allows users to remotely access quantum emulators, simulators, and processors via the internet, eliminating the need for specialized on-site hardware. This approach was pioneered by IBM's Quantum Experience in 2016, which provided the first publicly accessible cloud quantum processor, soon...
Quantum mind
The quantum mind hypothesis posits that consciousness cannot be fully explained by classical physics or neuronal interactions alone, suggesting instead that quantum phenomena like entanglement and superposition in the brain's microscopic structures may play a critical role. Early ideas explored by physicists such as Eugene Wigner linke...
Antiparticle
Antimatter consists of antiparticles, which possess the same mass as their ordinary matter counterparts but with opposite physical charges, such as the positively charged positron (antielectron). When a particle meets its antiparticle, they undergo annihilation, converting their mass i...
Department of Zoology, University of Oxford
The Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford, founded in 1860, was a distinguished science department that merged on August 1, 2022, with Plant Sciences to form the Department of Biology. It boasted an impressive legacy, having hosted three Nobel Laureates—Peter Medawar,
Physical oceanography
Physical Oceanography: Unveiling the Ocean's Dynamics
Physical oceanography is the scientific study of the ocean's physical conditions and processes, focusing on water motions and properties. This vital discipline explores how the oceans, which hold an astounding 97% of Earth's water, profoundly influence our pl...
Military meteorology
Military meteorology involves applying weather science for military purposes, a crucial and common field for meteorologists. Its significance escalated dramatically during World War II, where large-scale land, sea, and air operations, most notably the Normandy landing and strategic bom...
Fork Particle
Fork Particle: Real-time Visual Effects for Gaming and Simulation
Fork Particle is a specialized computer graphics visual effects modeling and software development kit (SDK) designed to simulate realistic real-time particle effects, such as CGI explosions, fire, rain, smoke, and dust. This powerful technology is...
Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe
The Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU), located in Kashiwa, Japan, near Tokyo, is an international research institute dedicated to unraveling the deepest mysteries of the cosmos. It merges advanced physics and mathematics to address fundamental questions concerning the universe's origin, fate, compos...
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics
The Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics is a highly influential scientific journal that began publication in 1970 as the Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, adopting its current name in 2003. It specializes in publishing invited, peer-reviewed a...
Kavli Institute for Cosmology
The Kavli Institute for Cosmology, Cambridge (KICC) is a prominent research center established through a collaboration between the University of Cambridge and the Kavli Foundation, with their agreement reached in August 2006. Operated jointly by Cambridge's Institute o...
Ecology
Ecology is the natural science dedicated to understanding the intricate relationships among living organisms and their environment, studying them from individual to biosphere levels. The term was coined in 1866 by German scientist Ernst Haeckel, and the field evolved to examine the abundance, distribut...
Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center
The Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC), based in Monterey, California, serves as a crucial component of the US Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command. It provides worldwide meteorological and oceanographic data and analysis, including Global and Regional Weather/Ocean Wave Prediction Charts (WXMAP, WW3) and...
