The first direct observation of the dead-cone effect, which arises during the high energy collisions of strongly interacting particles. Scientists involved in the ALICE collaboration [more…]
Using bilayered graphene, physicists explore the possibility that our reality is only one half of a pair of interacting worlds. Is ours the only universe? [more…]
The impact of virtual particles on accelerating objects in a vacuum has never been observed, and a new thought experiment aims to rectify this. Is [more…]
Gravitational waves produced by the phase transitions of matter right after the Big Bang could provide new insights into particle physics. Is it possible to [more…]
A new thought experiment explores the interface between quantum mechanics and general relativity using the transfer of information. One of the most fascinating phenomena in [more…]
A set of quantum computers was put to the test by playing the notorious triangle game. Quantum computers are definitely one of the hottest topics [more…]
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 constrained the mass of neutrinos to less than 1 eV for the first time, breaking an important barrier in neutrino physics. Physicists participating [more…]
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…]
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…]
