A cosmic particle detector in Antarctica has detected a series of bizarre signals that defy the current understanding of particle physics, according to an international research group that includes scientists from Penn State. The unusual radio pulses were detected by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment, a range of instruments flown on balloons high above Antarctica that are designed to detect radio waves from cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere.

PFAS are, in many ways, remarkable molecules. Even a thin layer can repel water, oil, and dirt. They are also highly resistant to heat and UV light, which makes them ideal for coating breathable outdoor clothing, stain-resistant carpets, disposable tableware, irons, and nonstick pans. Industrially, PFAS are used as lubricants, surfactants, wetting agents, in chrome plating, and in fire-fighting foams. The list goes on—PFAS are nearly everywhere.

Metalenses represent a revolutionary advancement in optical technology. Unlike conventional microscope objectives that rely on curved glass surfaces, metalenses employ nanoscale structures to manipulate light at the subwavelength level. Thanks to their ultrathin, lightweight, and flat architectures, metalenses can overcome the bulkiness of traditional lenses, making them ideal candidates for integration in electronic devices and compact imaging systems.
