megangibson+FollowPhysicists Made Light from Nothing?!Oxford scientists just pulled off a wild quantum trick: they simulated making light out of pure vacuum—literally, light from nothing! Using intense lasers and some powerful software, they showed that empty space isn’t really empty. Instead, it’s buzzing with virtual particles that can actually create new light beams when zapped just right. This could even help us hunt for mysterious dark matter. Science fiction vibes, but real! #QuantumPhysics #ScienceNews #OxfordUniversity #Science63Share
Chris Lyons+FollowOxford’s Racing to Stop the Next PandemicA vaccine for the super-deadly Nipah virus (think: up to 85% fatality rate!) just got a major fast-track from European regulators. Oxford’s working on it after some promising early results, and the World Health Organization is watching closely since Nipah could spark the next big pandemic. It spreads from animals, food, or even person-to-person—yikes. Fingers crossed this jab gets out there before Nipah does! #NipahVirus #VaccineNews #OxfordUniversity #Health50Share
