NEARBY ANTISTARS. “Recently, the idea that antistars may be our Galactic neighbors attracted new attention.” https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

NOT RARE. “The possibility of the existence of a population of antistars in the Galaxy and observational limits on their density were analyzed in several papers. It was concluded that quite a noticeable fraction of antistars is not excluded by the present observations.” https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

ANCIENT ANTISTARS. “The fraction of these strange stars and/or antistars among the stellar population is model-dependent but may be quite high.” https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

ANTIMATTER STARS. “Probably, they can be now observed as peculiar stars in the Galaxy: too old stars, very fast-moving stars, and stars with a highly unusual chemical content.” https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

ORIGINS. “Smaller HBBs could form compact stars or antistars. They were created in the very early universe after the QCD phase transition.” (HBB = high baryonic number; QCD = Quark matter or QCD matter (quantum chromodynamic). https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

WIDE RANGE. “Such PBHs could have masses in a wide range from a fraction of solar mass to thousands solar masses. Of course, there is no noticeable difference between a PBH and an anti-PBH.” (PBH = primordial black holes) https://lnkd.in/d_CXigJS View in LinkedIn

EXTRA LIFT. “Pollen readily moves against gravitational forces, both from plant to bee and from bee to plant under the influence of electrical forces.” https://lnkd.in/dz2UJCDk View in LinkedIn

POLLEN ASSIST. “The results of the model show pollen grains of masses up to and including the mass of maize pollen undergo significant electrical forces, with the strong electric field between flower and bee more influential than gravity.” https://lnkd.in/dz2UJCDk View in LinkedIn

CHARGE AND GEOMETRY. “Simply due to their geometry, protruding floral structures such as a long stigma will create a strong local electric field (Fig. 7a, b), and indeed, flowers with a flat corolla and long stigma appear to capture more pollen through electrostatic forces than those with concave corolla and shorter stigma.” https://lnkd.in/dz2UJCDk View in LinkedIn

GEOMETRY IS KEY. “Just as morphology, geometry and specific impedance of structures are key influences on the electric field at the scale of trees and plants (Fig. 2), this remains true at the smaller scale of a flower’s anther, stigma, and pollen grain.” https://lnkd.in/dz2UJCDk View in LinkedIn
