Crisis in physics Physics is in crisis. Over the last century or so, we have explained the universe with two very successful physical theories: general relativity and quantum mechanics. Quantum …
Does time exist? New scientific developments raise complex questions Read MoreCypress Oxide – Crystals extracted from Namibia used to make Rydberg Polariton. Credit: University of St. Andrews A special form of light made using an ancient Namibian gemstone could be …
The ancient Namibian stone could hold the key to the future quantum computer Read MoreSo, here’s the obvious next question: is kinetic energy stored, just as momentum is stored? The answer is: sometimes. For some collisions which we call “elastic collisions”, both kinetic energy …
What happens if you shoot a ball at Newton’s cradle? Read MoreGraphical abstract. Credit: Why? (2021). DOI: 10.1016 / j.chempr.2021.11.007 Sometimes creating a brand new type of box requires extra thinking outside the box, which Spartan chemists used to create the …
The researchers created a magnet made of one molecule Read MoreOnly deuterium can open the pores of DUT-8, while hydrogen closes the framework. This highly selective identification leads to high separation selection combined with high deuterium uptake. Credit: Dr. Forest …

Allows AI algorithms to design organic molecules with a wide range of valuable functions Read MoreThe newly discovered Fermi Arcs, which could be controlled by magnetism, could be the future of electronics based on electron spins. These new Fermi arcs were discovered by Ames Laboratory …
The Future of Electronics: New Fermi Arcs Discovered Read MoreDark matter is my focus these days, but I still remember the complexities of dark energy and cosmic acceleration, he says. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein Place | Columnist 13 April 2022 By …
Why am I choosing dark matter over dark energy – at least for now Read MoreFor the first time, physicists have uncovered a detailed “energy-dependent neutrino-argon interaction cross section”, a key value for studying how neutrinos change their tastes. Physicists studying a ghost-like particle called …
Scientists have reported the first type of neutrino measurement Read MoreFour sample star light curves have been reported in the study showing changes in periodic or semi-regular brightness. Credit: Ian et al, 2022 Using the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber …
