New research reveals that quantum effects defy the universality of free fall, providing a potential experimental pathway to test quantum gravity. One of the pillars [more…]
A new technique can detect the X-ray signature of an individual atom, even determining the structure of its electron orbits. Since their discovery by Wilhelm [more…]
The most compact nuclear fusion reactor built to date could provide a more affordable and sustainable means of future fusion energy. Nuclear fusion has enormous [more…]
Scientists propose a modified cosmological model that challenges the existence of dark matter and dark energy. Our current understanding of the evolution and structure of [more…]
The composition of dark matter remains a mystery, but a new theory involving quantum tunneling may have eliminated some candidates. For decades, physicists have speculated [more…]
Dark matter could be aggregating around black holes, providing a possible means of indirectly measuring its properties. In addition to ordinary matter, the Universe is [more…]
Taking inspiration from nature, scientists create a two-component catapult that overcomes limitations in 4D printing. 3D printing, which allows for the easy creation of 3D [more…]
A study explores how the behavior of electrons changes on the mesoscale under magnetic fields and rotation. Recently, the development of increasingly miniaturized computers and [more…]
Scientists probe cosmic microwave background and black hole radiation to test our understanding of electromagnetism. Proposed in the early 1860s, Maxwell’s theory of electrodynamics helped [more…]
Astronomers have observed neutron stars that emit more energy than is theoretically possible, and now an explanation might be in the works. Neutron stars are [more…]
