Another Voice: What we know

At a Science and Non-Duality conference, a UC Berkeley professor of mathematics once said, “There are two things we can know for sure: I am, and something is happening. Everything else is just a story we tell ourselves.” The two things are direct personal experiences. By our belief, we make the stories we tell ourselves [...]

Scientists may have found dark matter after 100 years of searching

Nearly a century after astronomers first proposed dark matter to explain the strange motions of galaxies, scientists may finally be catching a glimpse of it. A University of Tokyo researcher analyzing new data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has detected a halo of high-energy gamma rays that closely matches what theories predict should be released when dark matter particles collide and annihilate. The energy levels, intensity patterns, and shape of this glow align strikingly well with long-standing models of weakly interacting massive particles, making it one of the most compelling leads yet in the hunt for the universe’s invisible mass.

Asteroid loaded with amino acids offers new clues about the origin of life on Earth

One of the most elegant theories about the origins of life on our planet is that it was kick-started by a delivery from outer space. This idea suggests that prebiotic molecules—the building blocks of life—were transported here by asteroids or other celestial bodies. While these molecules have been found in meteorite samples that have crash-landed on Earth, the findings have been complicated by the possibility of contamination from our environment.

The finding provides strong evidence that black holes possess isolated ground states, a hallmark of quantum mechanical behavior.

But who is the world’s manufacturing leader of solar panels today? China!

The Biggest Causes of Medical Device Recalls
2025-11-29

The Biggest Causes of Medical Device Recalls

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration records, in an average year over 2,500 medical device recalls are issued in the United States. Some of these recalls simply require checking the device for problems, but others require the return or destruction of the device. Once identified, the FDA categorizes the root cause of these recalls into 40 categories, plus a catchall of “other”: situations that include labeling mix-ups, problems with expiration dates, and counterfeiting.What’s shown here is the breakdown of the five biggest problem categories found among the 56,000 entries in the FDA medical-recall database, which stretches back to 2002: device design, process control (meaning an error in the device’s manufacturing process), nonconforming material/component (meaning something does not meet required specifications), software issues, and packaging.Software issues are broken down into six root causes, with software design far and away the biggest problem. The other five are, in order: change control; software design changes; software manufacturing or deployment problems; software design issues in the manufacturing process; and software in the “use environment.” That last one includes cybersecurity issues, or problems with supporting software, such as a smartphone app.This article appears in the December 2025 print issue as “Medical Device Recalls.”

Global plan outlines steps to monitor and reduce marine litter worldwide

Marine litter is a serious environmental problem worldwide. Reducing it would require implementing a global monitoring system, agreeing on the use of common methods and protocols for data collection, and categorizing all components of marine debris. This involves a tremendous scientific, political, and social effort at the international level—one that cannot be carried out with the same intensity by all countries—given the magnitude of what is still unknown about the pollution of seas and oceans, particularly the deep ocean, where the vast majority of marine litter accumulates.

The Ultraviolet Mystery Inside Newborn Stars

Young stars buried deep in molecular clouds are bathed in ultraviolet radiation, but they shouldn't be. Protostars are too cold and dim to produce UV light themselves, yet James Webb Space Telescope observations of five stellar nurseries in Ophiuchus reveal its unmistakable signature affecting the surrounding gas. Astronomers tested the obvious explanation that nearby massive stars illuminate these birthplaces but subsequently ruled it out. The UV radiation must be coming from inside the star forming regions themselves, forcing a fundamental rethink of how stars are born.

All-solid-state batteries: New findings on space charge effects could improve efficiency

Batteries are found in many devices. The development of solid-state batteries that provide higher working voltage, have a higher capacity, and can no longer burn is the subject of current research. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research and Japanese universities have now investigated space charge effects in such batteries, which bring additional resistance for both charging and discharging. Using microscopic methods, they were able to determine the spatial extent and the resulting resistance of the space charge zone for the first time.

Physicist delineates limits on the precision of quantum thermal machines

Quantum thermal machines are devices that leverage quantum mechanical effects to convert energy into useful work or cooling, similarly to traditional heat engines or refrigerators. Thermodynamics theory suggests that increasing the reliability with which all thermal machines produce the same thermodynamic processes in time comes at a cost, such as the wasted heat or the need for extra energy.
