A New Theory for Systems That Defy Newton’s Third Law
...systems are elegantly described with statistical mechanics, the branch of physics that explains how collections of objects behave. This allows researchers to fully model the conditions that give rise to...
How the Universe Got Its Bounce Back
...ways that bounces could conceivably occur. One of the models, described in a paper that will appear in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, comes from Anna Ijjas of...
A Mathematician’s Unanticipated Journey Through the Physical World
...quantum physics. It’s a potpourri of insights that cohere around the positive Grassmannian, and around the unique mind that generated them. “Lauren is one of these people who thinks so...
Physicists Hunt for the Big Bang’s Triangles
...physics. So goes the story of cosmic inflation, the modern version of the Big Bang theory. That single short, outrageous growth spurt fits all existing cosmological data well and accounts...
Newfound Wormhole Allows Information to Escape Black Holes
...an intriguing talk at the Strings conference in South Korea. The speaker, Juan Maldacena, a professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, had recently...
How Artificial Intelligence Can Supercharge the Search for New Particles
...billions of collisions to a more manageable number, they may be inadvertently deleting evidence for new physics. “We’re always afraid we’re throwing the baby away with the bathwater,” said Kyle...
Inside the Knotty World of ‘Anyon’ Particles
A new class of quantum particle is about to emerge from the tangled considerations of quantum statistics. [No Caption] I. Prior to the emergence of quantum mechanics, fundamental physics was...
How the Hidden Higgs Could Reveal Our Universe’s Dark Sector
...particle physics. But it’s possible that the LHC has been producing such pivotal new particles all along, and that we’re just not seeing them. “The core of the story,” said...
‘Quantum Atmospheres’ May Reveal Secrets of Matter
...a ceramic-like insulator. Topological insulators have drawn attention for their unusual physics as well as for their potential use in quantum computers and so-called spintronic devices, which utilize electrons’ spins...
