Hopes of Big Bang Discoveries Ride on a Future Spacecraft
...physics at the time, and his interests seemingly lay elsewhere. Particle physicists seek the more fundamental truth underpinning the physical rules we’re familiar with. They’ve long used high-energy particle colliders...
Can Information Escape a Black Hole?
...with it is, it violates a principle of physics. The principle of physics is “nothing ever gets completely lost.” You say, well, that’s crazy. If I take a piece of...
Dark Energy May Be Weakening, Major Astrophysics Study Finds
...slightly weakening with time. It’s a finding that has the potential to shake the foundations of physics. “If true, it would be the first real clue we have gotten about...
How Is Flocking Like Computing?
...exhibited. When we first measured these properties, it seemed like the individuals were defying the laws of physics. The information was percolating so quickly. And in the, sort of, early...
What Is Quantum Teleportation?
...thinking about other fundamental questions, including in condensed matter physics, where we’re trying to understand highly entangled states of quantum matter, and in gravitational physics. This story goes back a...
What Is the Nature of Time?
...in the past? And how might quantum physics redefine it in the future? Frank is the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at M.I.T., a distinguished professor at Arizona State University,...
A Quantum Trick Implied Eternal Stability. Now the Idea May Be Falling Apart.
...disorder may not be so easily overcome. It is a truth of both physics and everyday experience that things fall apart. Ice melts. Buildings crumble. Any object, if you wait...
In a ‘Dark Dimension,’ Physicists Search for the Universe’s Missing Matter
...“allows us to make connections between string theory, quantum gravity, particle physics and cosmology, [while] addressing some of the mysteries related to them,” said Ignatios Antoniadis, a physicist at Sorbonne...
New Kind of Magnetism Spotted in an Engineered Material
...theoretical physicists at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, he wants to explore whether kinetic mechanisms like those at play within the moiré material could be used to manipulate charged particles...
