Polaritons Could Replace Phonons To Better Disperse Heat in the New Generation of Semiconductors

Researchers are focused on opening a new nanoscale lane on the heat transfer highway by using hybrid quasiparticles called “polaritons", as photons can't remove enough heat at the nanoscale of today’s most cutting-edge semiconductors.

Meat Meals Help Build Muscle Faster Than Vegan Meals With Same Amount of Protein

Our muscles are constantly breaking down and building up. For that muscle building, we need protein from food. According to research, a meal with meat ensures faster muscle building than a vegan meal with the same amount of protein.
