Today is November 16. And it has been so long since I post anything about our science world. Well, today I'm gonna tell u some of the biggest news that not everyone knows, but it's good to know. Lets see.
1. IBM labs in Zurich stated that a supercomputer processor can be shrink down to a sugar cube size in the next 10 or 15 years. By lowering the size, it is energy efficient and cheaper than the current processor. Dr Bruno Micheal, together with his team create a prototype to demonstrate water-cooling principle that can be use to reduce the side effect of any devices, heat. Personally i think the faster the computer can be, more calculations can be carried out in we can advance more than what we have right now.
2. Youngest nearby black hole has been found by NASA. This black hole is estimated to be 30 years old and is a remnant of SN 1979C, a supernova in galaxy M100 approximately 50million light years from earth. By discovering this, understanding the black hole is believed to become easier. For example, theory suggest that the black hole form when a star collapsed and gamma ray burst will not be produced and by discovering this black hole, scientists believe that it's gonna support that theory.
3. Maxwell's Demon Experiment break and violated the second law of thermodynamics. The thought experiment was first proposed by James Clerk Maxwell in 1867 and physicist in Japan proved this in 2010. The idea was to separate the gas molecule according to their entropy in a close system, thus reducing the entropy of overall system. Second law of thermodynamics said that entropy in a close system should not reduced. You can read about the experiment here
I think that's the top 3 most interesting news that i read today. There are also some other things about plant and biochemistry but lets just say that i'm not interested to that right now. Anyway, if you want to read news about science, you can click here.
