Strange Matter - Is it a problem ? - Science Feed

Hii, This is Science Feed.
Have you ever heard about strange matter ??

If no, then this line is for you ;)

"Strange Matter is a hypothetical form of quark matter which is more stable than nuclear matter."

There is a reason for saying it strange.
It is predicted that strange matter is found in the core of the neutron star. Neutron stars are one of the densest bodies in the universe. When a star, having 8 times the mass of its initial mass, gets exhausted all its nuclear fuel, then the star starts collapsing in its own core and temperature exceeds. As temperature rises, electrons and protons start forming neutrons by the electron capture process. Slowly, the repulsion force and neutron pressure stop the contraction of the core but start moving outwards leading to the formation of a supernova. Inside supernova, if the left core has 3 times less than the mass of the initial star, it becomes a neutron star. Otherwise, it becomes a black hole.
Now, inside the core of the neutron star, the density is beyond the critical limit due to which protons and neutrons break up into their native quarks. the final matter is hypothesized as strange matter,
So, According to the prediction, its inside neutron star.
But, Why Strange matter is problems for us?
Even after no singe proof, Strange matter is a problem.

Here is why.
Stranger matter has a bizarre property. It is so much stable that it can convert any nuclear matter in strange one. Even a small strangelet is able to destroy our whole planet in a small interval of time (as prediction). Neutron stars have strange matter in is core. Maybe two colliding neutron stars eject out strangelets, which will reach our planet from a distant part of our galaxy.
Currently, researches are going on quarks which may reveal more secrets about strange matter.

Some scientists also believe that one day we will be able to harness the life-saving energy from this weird state of matter. The strange matter may become our future source of energy.
But, we cannot say what will happen in the future.

How does a NPU, Neural Processing Unit, works? - Science Feed

By
A NPU (Neural Processing Unit), also knows as AI accelerator, is a computing unit specially designed for the running artificial intelligence and machine learning models efficiently and effectively on a single motherboard with other computing units.  There has been significant rise in the use of NPUs in personal devices like smartphones, laptops, PCs etc. to do personalized recommendations and offline AI processing.  NPUs are capable of parallel processing, low precision arithmetic, hardware acceleration.  These have silicon architecture to kind of simulate the human brain working like human where instruction set of AI efficiently ran. NPUs are not for computing traditional problems as it lacks important physical capabilities. Because of these, AI systems are able to learn faster without wasting time and energy. The parallel computation feature give wings to matrix operations ease, activation functions of neural networks, dot product.  NPUs have got dedicated compute ...

What is Dark Energy? - Science Feed

By
There are different forms of energy. But, there has been speculation of an hidden form of energy that has been kind of hiding from us which constitutes a large part of our universe.  The universe has been found to be expanding faster than the speed of light. The traditional form of energy that we have found has been to be not able to provide that much of push. So, there must be something. This type of energy is called Dark Energy. Dark Energy is that form of energy that is not understood by us but it is fundamental in nature and drives the process of the universe. In Theory of General Relativity, there is concept of cosmological constant which says there is a negative of gravitation or empty space that is all over the interstellar space.  The researchers of DES and others have found that the universe is expanding not alone of known form of energy but some mysterious form of it. This is also related to Big Bang. Dark energy is told to be constituent of 68 to 70% of total univer...

Quantum Computer at Google solves real world problem 13,000x faster than current Supercomputers - Science Feed

By
On 22 October 2025, Google announced that they have solved a real world problem using their Quantum Echoes algorithm that did the work 13,000 times faster than current supercomputers.  This was the first time it has ever done where they used out of order time correlator OOTC algorithm. This  algorithm is verifiable since it can be ran again and again to get consistent result. They have released a scientific paper over this where they were able to do study of molecular structure using their latest Willow quantum computing chip. This chip used 105 qubit arrays to simulate the molecular behaviour. In this task, they disturbed one qubit from the simulated structure which lead to the formation of butterfly effect inside kind of like wave. This was first done in forward operations. After this, they ran the same operation but from the reverse side.  Both the sides waves start interacting with each other and give useful insights about the quantum nature.  According to Google...
