A Holographic View into Quantum Anomalies
Updated: 2023-05-30 15:05:38
Theorists calculated how the key ingredients of a phenomenon called the chiral magnetic effect should evolve over time in an expanding quark-gluon plasma. The theorists used the holographic principle to model the magnetic fields and other relevant characteristics needed for the effect. The results will help scientists interpret collision data and plan new searches for the chiral magnetic effect and the underlying quantum anomaly.

The research found that older adults with low flavanol intake had lower scores on memory tests associated with normal aging . However , the study also showed that replenishing flavanol levels in mildly deficient adults over the age of 60 improved their performance on these . tests The study’s co-leader , Adam Brickman , PhD , professor of neuropsychology at Columbia University ,
