In Kiryat Gat, the oldest gate in Israel was discovered

  • No comments
In an excavation by the Antiquities Authority prior to the construction of a Mekorot company water line in the Kiryat Gat area, an ancient gate was discovered, approximately 5,500 years old * This gate was part of the fortification system of one of the most important mounds for understanding the beginning of urbanization

Figure 1 - Right: experimental measurements of the two-crack experiment and measured Boehm trajectories (black bars). The realization of the cracks is done in the time domain, by creating two pulses of surface gravity waves, at times (t=-4, +4 sec). You can see the development of the Boehm trajectories along the wave pool (X axis). There are areas that no route crosses, and the wave strength measured in them will be zero. The reason for this is that a destructive conflict is created in these areas. In contrast, there are areas where there is a high density of Boehm orbits, and where the wave power is maximum (as a result of constructive interference). Figure 2 - Left: shows the quantum potential. The wave moves only in the 'valleys' (meaning areas where the potential is low) and does not reach the 'mountains' (meaning areas where the potential is high).

Researchers first measured the Bohm orbits and the quantum potential in a classical system

In doing so, the researchers confirmed scientific phenomena that had so far only been predicted theoretically

A certain essential protein increases the expression of another protein in cancer cells in the uterus - and this transforms its skin, encourages them to divide and thus contributes to the spread of the tumor

Physicists have developed tools to discover unknown interactions between elementary particles. Are we on the way to a new physics?

Prof. Yael Shadami from the Faculty of Physics at the Technion focuses on the study of elementary particles including electrons, quarks, photons and gluons, and the interactions, or forces, that act between them. It tries to discover more elementary particles and interactions, beyond those described in the "standard model" of particle physics

Researchers have built surfaces from layers of atoms that slide over each other, thus causing the electrons inside to skip. In the future, they hope that it will be possible to develop advanced information technologies based on them

Will a muon accelerator save particle physics?

  • 3 תגובות
In recent years, physicists from around the world have been discussing the construction of a muon accelerator instead of other conventional accelerators based on protons or electrons. Such an accelerator has clear advantages in discovering new physics, but its construction is accompanied by many technological challenges. In this article I will review the words of Prof. Nima Arkani-Hamed from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton on the need to build such an accelerator.

By Ilon Gilad, published by Am Oved. The section from the first chapter tells how the religion was founded out of nowhere and wrote the history of two Canaanite kingdoms - Judah and Israel at the hands of the writer Shepan and King Josiah who tried to leave the main god Jehovah out of the circle of his gods and become a single god. How long did it take for this belief to take hold?
