Physicists uncover evidence of two arrows of time emerging from the quantum realm Date: February 13, 2025 Source: University of Surrey Summary: What if time is not as fixed as we thought? Imagine that instead of flowing in one direction -- from past to future -- time could flow forward or backward due to processes taking place at the quantum level. This is the thought-provoking discovery made by researchers, as a new study reveals that opposing arrows of time can theoretically emerge from certain quantum systems. Imagine that instead of flowing in one direction -- from past to future -- time could flow forward or backwards due to processes taking place at the quantum level. This is the thought-provoking discovery made by researchers at the University of Surrey, as a new study reveals that opposing arrows of time can theoretically emerge from certain quantum systems. For centuries, scientists have puzzled over the arrow of time – the idea that time flows irreversibly from past to future...

New treatment may offer quick cure for common cause of high blood pressure Date: February 10, 2025 Source: Queen Mary University of London Summary: A revolutionary new treatment called Targeted Thermal Therapy (Tripel T) offers a safer, faster alternative to surgery for patients with high blood pressure caused by Primary Aldosteronism, a hormonal disorder. Development of Triple T for Hypertension Treatment: Innovation : Doctors at Queen Mary University of London, Barts Health NHS Trust, and UCL developed Triple T (Targeted Thermal Therapy) for treating primary aldosteronism, a common yet overlooked cause of high blood pressure. Minimally invasive, faster, and safer than adrenal gland surgery. Breakthrough Study : Published in The Lancet . Potential to aid millions worldwide after further testing. High Blood Pressure & Primary Aldosteronism: Prevalence : Affects 1 in 3 adults; primary aldosteronism accounts for 1 in 20 cases. Less than 1% diagnosed due to challenges...
