Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means is up for interpretation. Suppose you want to empty a box. Really, truly ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Zero-point energy is one of the most intriguing phenomena of quantum mechanics. Because quantum particles are also waves, they must always have more than zero energy.

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...

Oregon State University-Cascades has big plans to go green. The university is aiming to be among the first nationwide to be a net-zero campus. But achieving net zero (when energy produced annually ...
