Physicists create a quantum domain wall in the lab
Researchers have discovered how to create and manipulate a quantum object called a “domain wall”, which exhibits particle-like properties. A group of American physicists have [more…]
Scientists have measured neutrino mass with record-breaking accuracy
Scientists have constrained the mass of neutrinos to less than 1 eV for the first time, breaking an important barrier in neutrino physics. Physicists participating [more…]
String theory fuzzballs resolve famous black hole paradox
Scientists have turned to string theory to better understand black holes, proposing they can be modeled as “fuzzballs” made up of interacting strings. Black holes [more…]
Black hole asymmetry puts quantum gravity to the test
Physicists hope to detect asymmetry in spinning black holes using NASA’s LISA telescope to finally provide proof of quantum gravity. Detecting gravitational waves using Earth-based [more…]
Dark matter could be composed of primordial black holes
A new theory for the origin and nature of dark matter resolves some inconsistencies between cosmological predictions and astronomical data. Image credit: SpieTheAce on Pixabay [more…]
Physicists identify a quantum membrane in merging black holes
The existence of a quantum membrane is predicted by some theories of gravity, and scientists might be one step closer to identifying one. Image credit: [more…]
