What are attoseconds? Nobel-winning physics explained
The Nobel Physics Prize was awarded on Tuesday to three scientists for their work on attoseconds, which are almost unimaginably short periods of time. Their work using lasers gives scientists a tool to observe and possibly even manipulate electrons, which could spur breakthroughs in fields such as electronics and chemistry, experts told AFP. How fast are attoseconds? Attoseconds are a billionth of a billionth of a second. To give a little perspective, there are around as many attoseconds in a single second as there have been seconds in the 13.8-billion-year history of the universe. Hans Jakob Woerner, a researcher at the Swiss university ETH Zurich, told AFP that attoseconds are "the shortest timescales we can measure directly". Why do we need such speed? Being able to operate on this timescale is important because these are the speeds at which electrons -- key parts of an atom -- operate. For example, it takes electrons 150 attoseconds to go around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom. This means the study of attoseconds has given scientists access to a fundamental process that was previously out of reach. All electronics are mediated by the motion of electrons -- and the current "speed limit" is nanoseconds, Woerner said. If microprocessors were switched to attoseconds, it could be possible to "process information a billion times faster," he added. How do you measure them? Franco-Swede physicist Anne L'Huillier, one of the three new Nobel laureates, was the first to discover a tool to pry open the world of attoseconds. It involves using high-powered lasers to produce pulses of light for incredibly short periods. Franck Lepine, a researcher at France's Institute of Light and Matter who has worked with L'Huillier, told AFP it was like "cinema created for electrons". He compared it to the work of pioneering French filmmakers the Lumiere brothers, "who cut up a scene by taking successive photos". John Tisch, a laser physics professor at Imperial College London, said that it was "like an incredibly fast, pulse-of-light device that we can then shine on materials to get information about their response on that timescale". How low can we go? All three of Tuesday's laureates at one point held the record for shortest pulse of light. In 2001, French scientist Pierre Agostini's team managed to flash a pulse that lasted just 250 attoseconds. L'Huillier's group beat that with 170 attoseconds in 2003. In 2008, Hungarian-Austrian physicist Ferenc Krausz more than halved that number with an 80-attosecond pulse. The current holder of the Guinness World Record for "shortest pulse of light" is Woerner's team, with a time of 43 attoseconds. The time could go as low as a few attoseconds using current technology, Woerner estimated. But he added that this would be pushing it. What could the future hold? Technology taking advantage of attoseconds has largely yet to enter the mainstream, but the future looks bright, the experts said. So far, scientists have mostly only been able to use attoseconds to observe electrons. "But what is basically untouched yet -- or is just really beginning to be possible -- is to control" the electrons, to manipulate their motion, Woerner said. This could lead to far faster electronics as well as potentially spark a revolution in chemistry. "We would not be limited to what molecules naturally do," but instead could "tailor them according to need," Woerner said. So-called "attochemistry" could lead to more efficient solar cells, or even the use of light energy to produce clean fuels, he added. The post What are attoseconds?

20 years later, Bea Alonzo, Dennis Trillo reunite in ‘Love Before Sunrise’
Twenty years since working together at ABS-CBN’s K2BU show, two of the Philippines’ most celebrated stars, Bea Alonzo and Dennis Trillo, are reuniting for a TV series under GMA Network and Viu Philippines. Their latest collaboration, Love Before Sunrise, promises to be an intricate tale of lost love and missed opportunities that will mine the maturity and skills of the two well-honed artists. The press conference for Love Before Sunrise was held at Cinema 2 of SM Megamall on a rainy Saturday afternoon, 16 September, graced by key members of the cast including Andrea Torres, Sid Lucero, Ricky Davao, Jackie Lou Blanco, Isay Alvarez, Rodjun Cruz and Matet de Leon. But all eyes, of course, were on the two lead stars who were back in each other’s company after two decades. “For me, it feels familiar, but at the same time it feels all new, so it’s a different feeling. But I love this feeling because there’s this level of trust kasi pareho kaming ni-launch sa (because both of us were launched at) Star Circle,” said Alonzo of her co-star. “I feel na I can trust him and I feel na kahit na magkalayo kami ng matagal na panahon, naging fan niya ako from the sidelines (I feel that I can trust him and I feel that even though we were apart for a long time, I became his fan from the sidelines),” she continued. The 35-year-old actress added, “I’ve seen him grow as an actor so I just feel lucky and honored working with him on this one.” Alonzo admitted to feeling a touch of unease on the first day of filming for Love Before Sunrise. “At first, mahirap kasi kailangan ninyo munang makilala ulit ‘yung isa’t isa (At first, it was hard because you had to get to know each other again).” “But then, we’re professional actors, so we got over that easily. We had to make the scene work,” she added. Love Before Sunrise will premiere in advance on Viu Philippines starting 23 September, offering 48 hours of exclusive streaming before it officially airs on GMA Telebabad on 25 September. The series unravels the story of ex-lovers Atom (Dennis) and Stella (Bea) who parted ways upon realizing they had found love at the wrong time. But years later, their paths cross again, and they find themselves regretting the loss of each other while trapped in unhappy marriages. This reunion drama is helmed by Mark Sicat dela Cruz with associate director Carlo Cannu assisting, and produced by the GMA Entertainment Group.

Photo exhibit shows scenes from the field by Howie Severino, Atom Araullo
I-Witness documentarists Howie Severino and Atom Araullo will share a selection of what they’ve seen in many years of coverage in a series of photo exhibits in SM malls. The first leg opened on 21 August at SM Santa Rosa in Laguna. The exhibits are being produced in partnership between I-Witness and SM Malls. Titled Unmasked, the exhibits mainly feature photos shot while Araullo and Severino were producing I-Witness stories as varied as a non-violent way to conduct the drug war and the plight of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. They’ve journeyed to numerous far-flung places, including an island that lost all its land, and documented desperate people whose stories ached to be told. [caption id="attachment_177127" align="aligncenter" width="764"] Howie Severino[/caption] In one episode, the documentarist became the story, as Severino was among the country’s first Covid-19 survivors. His documentary, Ako si Patient 2828, was one of the most watched Philippine documentaries on YouTube in recent memory, and won Best Documentary in the Gawad Tanglaw Awards in 2020. Just before he got sick, Severino was an evacuee from the Taal Volcano eruption of 2020. He lives on the shores of Taal Lake. That experience too is featured in the exhibit. Unmasked remembers a world just before the pandemic shut it down and celebrates a return to interactions where faces are visible once again. Atom will share photographs taken during his travels and documentary-making in the Philippines and abroad. Some of these include his trip to Bangladesh for his first documentary for I-Witness, Silang Kinalimutan. The documentary showed the story of Rohingya refugees who fled to neighboring Bangladesh after the Myanmar government denied them citizenship. It won a gold medal at the 2018 US International Film and Video Festival for Documentary’s Social Issues category. “This exhibit is a chance for us to share our work in the real world, away from screens, and interact with real people and not just names online,” said Severino.

US lab repeats nuclear fusion feat, with higher yield
US scientists responsible for a historic nuclear fusion breakthrough say they have repeated the feat -- this time achieving a greater yield of energy. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory stunned the world in December when it announced it had carried out an experimental nuclear reaction that put out more energy than was put into it, a holy grail of science in the quest for unlimited, clean power to end the era of fossil fuels. "We can confirm the experiment produced a higher yield than the December 2022 experiment," public information officer Paul Rhien said Monday in an emailed statement, without disclosing specific figures. He added the California lab planned to report the results at upcoming scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed publications. The new development was first reported by the Financial Times. Nuclear fusion has been touted by its supporters as a clean, abundant, and safe source of energy that could eventually allow humanity to break its dependence on coal, crude oil, natural gas, and other hydrocarbons driving a global climate crisis. However, there is still a long way to go before fusion is viable on an industrial scale, providing power to homes and businesses. Nuclear power plants around the world currently use fission -- the splitting of a heavy atom's nucleus -- to produce energy. Fusion on the other hand combines two light hydrogen atoms to form one heavier helium atom, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. That is what occurs inside stars, including our Sun. On Earth, fusion reactions can be provoked by heating hydrogen to extreme temperatures inside specialized devices. Like fission, fusion is carbon-free during operation, and has additional critical advantages: it poses no risk of nuclear disaster and produces much less radioactive waste. During December's experiment, the lab used 192 ultra-powerful lasers to deliver 2.05 megajoules of energy to a tiny capsule smaller than a pea containing isotopes of hydrogen. It produced 3.15 megajoules of fusion energy output. While the result was a net energy gain, 300 megajoules of energy were needed from the electrical grid to power the lasers.

Filipino physicist heads int’l research on dark quantum matter
An associate professor from the University of the Philippines – Diliman led a team of German-based researchers in studying a special type of "dark" matter that cannot be observed with standard laboratory methods. Dr. Jayson Cosme, a theoretical physicist, collaborated with Dr. Hans Keßler, Prof. Andreas Hemmerich, and Prof. Ludwig Mathey; and post-graduate students Jim Skulte, Phatthamon Kongkhambut, and Sahana Rao in carrying out the research. Their research paper was published on 21 April 2023 online on APS Physical Review Letters with the title, "Condensate Formation in a Dark State of a Driven Atom-Cavity System". “I’m very honored and thankful to have been the last author on this paper, as my colleagues are all from Germany,” Cosme said. Scientists use laser beams to slow down the movement of the atoms in a material, causing a drop in temperature up to absolute zero that individual atoms to condense together into a new state of matter with quantum properties that behaves similarly to a single giant atom. Renowned physicists Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose were the first persons to predict such existence; hence it was called a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC). “By shaking BECs in the right way, we can cause them to become quantum objects that don’t absorb, reflect, nor emit light—hence, ‘dark,’” Cosme said. His team used lasers to further manipulate atoms. Cosme's team was able to show the "formation of a condensate in a dark state of momentum states, in a pumped and shaken cavity-BEC system," noted the research's abstract portion. "We demonstrate how to achieve condensation in this state, supported by time-of-flight and photon emission measurements. With this, we show that the dark state concept provides a general approach to efficiently prepare complex many-body states in an open quantum system," the abstract added.

Matteo Guidicelli livens up GMA-7’s morning show ‘Unang Hirit’
"May karibal na si Atom Araullo sa GMA Public Affairs programs sa kaguwapuhan!" That's the talk in some circles since Thursday, 11 May, when it was announced that showbiz idol Matteo Guidecelli has officially joined GMA Public Affairs, the division where Araullo, Jessica Soho, Mel Tiangco, Mike Enriquez, Cara David and Ivan Mayrina belong. [caption id="attachment_133078" align="aligncenter" width="1734"] PHOTOGRAPHS COURTESY OF GMA-7 Matteo Guidicelli is now a Kapuso.[/caption] It's a division totally different from the network's entertainment TV, which puts up shows like the new Voltes V: The Legacy and Maria Clara at Ibarra. Guidecelli received a grand welcome during the contract-signing and media conference at Vertis Seda Hotel attended by top network executives. GMA Network Chairman and CEO Felipe Gozon welcomed Guidicelli through a video message. The network's Public Affairs produces the newsy morning show Unang Hirit which immediately absorbed Guidicelli as one of its hosts beginning last Monday, 15 May. The same division also produces the well-followed drama anthology Magpakailanman, hosted by Tiango. The division is all set to produce an action-drama primetime series dubbed Black Rider with Guidicelli, a champion car racer for some years before he entered showbiz, joining GMA 7-managed star Ruru Madrid as lead actor. Will the husband of superstar Sarah Geronimo have a chance to do documentaries like the ones Araullo has become famous and highly-esteemed for? Declared GMA Public Affairs' recent statement about their new asset (shared with Viva Artist Agency which still manages Guidicelli): "... And with GMA Public Affairs being the home of world-class and award-winning Filipino documentaries, Matteo will be part of a documentary special about nature." Added the GMA statement: "Viewers should also watch out for Matteo’s upcoming shows in GMA, including exciting projects with GMA Regional TV and Synergy." First day Guidicelli is also slated to play with a team in Family Feud, the quiz show vibrantly hosted by Dingdong Dantes. It's not known yet who Guidicelli will recruit to his team. Would Viva Artists Agency allow Geronimo to join him in Family Feud? Geronimo is still a top Kapamilya star. On his first day in Unang Hirit, Guidicelli turned up in a casual get-up of light blue long-sleeves, white pants and white rubber shoes. His co-hosts welcomed him with what they called "start-up gift packs" ranging from an alarm clock and coffee flask to a motorcycle from Arnold Clavio (the brand must be one of the show's sponsors). The actor greeted the show's viewers in Filipino and in Cebuano, since he grew up in Cebu. He also greeted the love of his life who he said was watching the show even as they stayed up late Sunday night watching Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho. The new man on the house is also a well-known chef, and cooking breakfast for his co-hosts became his first task on the show. He jauntily revealed that at home he really does a lot of cooking "para lang sa asawa," whom he unfailingly greeted with “Hello, Love”. It's great and refreshing to watch a married, handsome and youthful man greeting his wife in the morning five days a week. Guidicelli is now 33, and Geronimo will be 35 in July this year. Let's wait and see how Guidicelli would turn up in the realm of documentaries. Will he just be a glamorous narrator-host or will he go out and get the stories himself? Would he be as daring and fearless as Araullo in his documentaries? Guidicelli has had military training with the Philippine Army. And he was a daring car racer, remember? New public-service program Meanwhile, GMA Public Affairs now has a multi-platform public service program on Sundays, its first to be aired both on TV and on radio, plus other Kapuso platforms. Resibo: Walang Lusot Ang May Atraso is hosted by journo Emil Sumangi, who is a co-host of Kim Atienza and Patricia Tumulak on the daily news magazine show at 5:30 pm. Resibo is Sumangil's first solo TV program after several years of being a field reporter on GMA 7. It was launched on 7 May. The public is invited to reach out to Resibo for complaints and grievances via the hotline number 0917-7RESIBO, e-mail resibo@gmanetwork.com and its Facebook page. They can also visit GMA Action Center, Kapuso Center Building, GMA Network Drive, Diliman in Quezon City. Resibo: Walang Lusot ang May Atraso airs 5 p.m. on GMA, GTV, DZBB Super Radyo and GMA Public Affairs’ Facebook, YouTube and Tiktok livestream.

Family problems, society’s concern — SC
Supreme Court Associate Justice Amy Lazaro-Javier highlighted the importance of the family in society during the holding of the National Summit for Family Court Judges during the 5th National Family Courts Summit at the Manila Hotel on 20 April 2023. “Whatever impairs a unit cripples the entire system. The problem of the family is thus the problem of society, especially where the supposed safe confines of the home are exploited to abuse women and where the welfare and development of children are at stake. For family courts, as great bulwarks of justice, vigilance is thus non-negotiable,” said Lazaro-Javier, who is also chair of the Supreme Court Committee on Family Courts and Juvenile Concerns. Highlighting the imperative of the Supreme Court’s Strategic Plan for Judicial Innovations 2022-2027 to enhance access to justice, Justice Javier said that they seek to speak truth to the mandate “as we endeavor to provide protection and bring justice to the verybasic unit — the atom — of society: The family.” The Summit, the first one to be held after almost five years, aimed to roll out the Bench Book for Family Court Cases (Bench Book) to designated and statutory family court judges as well as to Regional Trial Court judges who handle family cases as well as to ensure a uniform understanding on the use of the Bench Book among all relevant stakeholders. It was organized to determine the existence and availability of facilities, equipment, and tools relevant to the performance of the functions of the Family Courts concerning Child Witnesses and Children in Conflict with the Law, to update the participant judges on the latest laws, rules and jurisprudence relating to Family Courts, and to capacitate them with effective tools to enhance mindfulness and resilience. Meantime, Chief Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo emphasized the “distinct approach” needed in resolving cases involving children, spousal or marital relations, and parental duties and responsibilities, as these possess a character which differentiates them from other cases.
