Physicists have achieved a groundbreaking measurement of gravity at the microscopic scale, marking a significant step toward unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics. In a recent experiment, researchers successfully detected the weakest gravitational pull ever recorded—on the order of attonewtons (10^-18 newtons)—acting on a tiny particle weighing just 0.43 milligrams.
Adam Kovalčík, a 19-year-old innovator from Dulovce, Slovakia, has developed a groundbreaking method to produce the antiviral drug galidesivir more efficiently and cost-effectively using corn husks. His work earned him the top prize of $100,000 at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair in Columbus, Ohio.
