• Physicists may have found a surprising new link between the universe’s biggest and smallest mysteries—hidden in the twist of light.

    In a groundbreaking study, researchers discovered that when photons journey through the warped fabric of spacetime, their polarization—the direction in which they vibrate—can behave in a way that defies classical expectations. Instead of returning to its original state, the polarization can shift in a phenomenon known as non-reciprocity. This subtle effect suggests that light, in the presence of gravity, may not be as predictable as once thought.

    At the heart of this discovery is a shift in perspective—literally. By carefully adjusting the quantization axis, or the angle at which polarization is observed, scientists detected amplified changes in the photon’s orientation, known as Wigner Rotation Angles (WRAs). Remarkably, near massive objects like black holes, these shifts could be ten times greater than previously anticipated.

    To test this theory, researchers propose using advanced space-based interferometers and quantum optical systems. If confirmed, this non-reciprocal twist could offer a new way to explore how quantum mechanics and general relativity interact—and may even challenge Einstein’s cherished Equivalence Principle.

    “This opens up a new experimental window into some of physics’ biggest mysteries,” said Dr. Warner Miller, co-author of the study.

    Published in Scientific Reports, the findings could reshape how we probe the cosmos—from the vast gravitational wells of black holes to the subatomic quirks of quantum particles.

  • Germany just made a major move in clean energy.
    At BASF’s Ludwigshafen site, the most powerful PEM electrolyzer in Europe is now live—built with Siemens Energy to produce up to 8,000 tons of green hydrogen annually.

    This 54MW system, powered by 72 electrolysis stacks, will replace fossil-based inputs for ammonia and methanol—cutting emissions by up to 72,000 tons every year. It’s a bold leap toward carbon-free industry and a cleaner European future.

    Hydrogen just became a real industrial power player.
    How Germany is scaling green fuel —

  • @connichiwaofficial ended three days ago and I’m still missing it!

    Thank you for inviting me ! I really loved the event, hope to see more events in the future

    And thank you all for coming these three days to see me🫣 First time cosplaying as my favourite Fuecoco (really enjoyed Friday) Thank you @jiaweiii430 for making this possible 🫣

    Thank you @evelynn_0412 宝宝 for helping me during Friday Thank you for always helping me in events Truly appreciate it, thanks for being my best birdo friend too You’ve became a inseparable person in my life

    Thank you @seanooice for helping me out these three days! I can see it’s really tiring! Words can’t express my gratitude for you Hope you enjoyed the event as well! I’ll work on my KUJI earlier next time🫣 Thanks for being my consultant in life and my friend

    And the person who gave me a surprise @xiaoming_72 Didn’t expect the surprise they meant was you coming on Day 3! You even asked for a soulpic! I’m happy we got to hang out again together again! Miss you so much cause you’re too far! See you next month during 6th July again

    Thanks to @zwig0531 and @dennisbrian for taking pictures for me Thank you for always feeding my egg tart Dennis Bb He love you as well! He’s been sleeping on my bed lately when I’m not looking

    And thank you for all the gifts and drinks! (Will personally thank you again in Channel later 🫣)

    Hope you all have fun and see you next at Hoyo Fest!
