Title: Global Oil Demand Reaches Record Highs Amidst Economic Headwinds As summer air travel resumes and Chinese petrochemical activity remains strong, global oil demand is expected to hit record highs, averaging 102.2 million barrels per day in 2021. These figures were recently released in a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), which also highlighted increased oil usage in power generation as a contributing factor. China, the world’s largest energy consumer, is expected to account for more than 70% of the growth in global oil demand. Despite concerns over the country’s economy, Chinese demand has exceeded expectations, reaching unprecedented levels.…

Twistronics, an emerging field in condensed matter physics, is revolutionizing our understanding of materials. Researchers are exploring how small changes in the twist angle between stacked layers of 2D materials, such as graphene, can profoundly alter their properties. Twisted layers of graphene have exhibited unique behaviors, acting as magnets, superconductors, or insulators. In a significant breakthrough, a team of researchers has developed a new fabrication technique using graphene ribbons to create devices with controlled twist angles and strain. This innovative approach eliminates the random bubbles and wrinkles that can occur when assembling graphene flakes. By bending a graphene ribbon into…

The study, titled “Breakdown of the Newton-Einstein Standard Gravity at Low Acceleration in Internal Dynamics of Wide Binary Stars,” analyzed the…

Title: Dam Burst Triggers Devastating Floods in Southern Norway In a shocking turn of events, a dam in southern Norway partially burst due to heavy rains that triggered landslides and subsequent flooding in the region. The catastrophe unfolded after authorities faced a difficult decision on how to release pressure on the dam without causing further damage. Initially, authorities contemplated employing a limited, controlled blast as a means to alleviate the immense pressure on the dam. However, this strategy was ultimately shelved due to concerns over the extent of destruction it would cause. Complicating matters further, the dam’s generators ceased to…

New Research Reveals Diversity in Dopamine Neurons, Opening New Doors for Parkinson’s Disease A recent study conducted by Northwestern University has uncovered surprising findings about dopamine neurons in the brain, challenging widely accepted beliefs. Published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, the research identifies three genetic subtypes of dopamine neurons in the midbrain area of a mouse model. Dopamine neurons have long been associated with rewarding experiences and predicting cues. However, the study’s findings contradict this belief, as one of the genetic subtypes was found to be activated in response to bodily movement but did not respond to rewards at all.…
