How Quantum Physicists ‘Flipped Time’ (and How They Didn’t)
...computers, and Zeilinger’s work on the phenomenon won him a share of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics. For the flippable nature of quantum time, Franke-Arnold said, “it’s very early...
Quantum Complexity Tamed by Machine Learning
If scientists understood exactly how electrons act in molecules, they’d be able to predict the behavior of everything from experimental drugs to high-temperature superconductors. Following decades of physics-based insights, artificial...
Brighter Than a Billion Billion Suns: Gamma-Ray Bursts Continue to Surprise
...more than five times longer than the result in 2018. “This is basically a breakthrough result,” said Brian Reville, a physicist at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in...
A World Without Clouds
...the simulated climate “goes over a cliff,” said Kerry Emanuel, a climate scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A leading authority on atmospheric physics, Emanuel called the new findings...
In Quantum Games, There’s No Way to Play the Odds
...thinking about physics. These “nonlocal” games were conceived in the 1960s by the physicist John Stewart Bell as a way to understand the bizarre quantum phenomenon called entanglement. While quantum...
Mathematicians Disprove Conjecture Made to Save Black Holes
...time, it fulfills his ambition by other means, showing that his intuition about the physics inside black holes was correct, just not for the reason he suspected. Relativity’s Cardinal Sin...
Mathematicians Prove Hawking Wrong About the Most Extreme Black Holes
...can form. Nevertheless, for the past 50 years, extremal black holes have served as useful models in theoretical physics. “They have nice symmetries that make it easier to calculate things,”...
Scientists Unravel How the Tonga Volcano Caused Worldwide Tsunamis
...hours after the volcano’s explosive zenith. “All of the mechanics and physics are quite similar,” said Eric Anderson, a researcher at the Colorado School of Mines who studies interactions between...
What Made the Moon? New Ideas Try to Rescue a Troubled Theory
...from melted bits of Earth. The Apollo rocks are then in direct conflict with what the physics insist must be true. “The canonical model is in serious crisis,” said Sarah...
