An international team of scientists, composed of researchers from the Complutense University of Madrid, Saint Louis University’s Madrid campus, and the University of California, has proposed a new theory suggesting that spacetime could be made up of “entangled virtual bosons”, similar to the double helix of DNA. This finding, which could have significant implications for […]

The Story of the Mysterious Uranium Cubes from the Nazi Atomic Project
In the summer of 2013, Professor Timothy Koeth of the University of Maryland received an unusual birthday gift: a package containing a small black cube about five centimeters on each side and weighing about five pounds. An attached note explained as succinctly as it did enigmatically: “Taken from the reactor that Hitler tried to build. […]

Scientists Explain How to Build Time-Traveling Quantum Sensors
Time travel has always fascinated fans of science fiction. While science says traveling to the future is possible if you can move close to the speed of light, going back in time is impossible. But what if scientists could use the strange rules of quantum physics to learn about past events? New research shows this […]

Scientists Propose a Model of Subluminal Warp Drive
Interstellar travel has fascinated humanity for centuries, inspiring countless stories of exploration and adventure. However, until recently, such feats were only conceivable in the realm of science fiction. Bending spacetime to travel from one point to another in the universe quickly and efficiently is what a team of scientists from the University of Alabama in […]

Physics Confirms the Age-Old Axiom: “The Enemy of Your Enemy is Your Friend”
Most people have heard the adage, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. This saying encapsulates a social intuition that people have relied on for generations. Now, researchers at Northwestern University have used statistical physics to confirm that this axiom holds true in real-world social networks, lending scientific credibility to the theory behind it. […]

No One Opens Schrödinger’s Cat’s Box: Why Doesn’t the Universe Behave Like Quantum Particles?
A new study in quantum cosmology proposes an innovative approach to address one of the oldest puzzles in physics: the transition from quantum to classical. This transition is crucial for understanding how our universe, full of well-defined stars and galaxies, emerged from a primitive quantum state where things could be in multiple states at once. […]

Unique Experimental Device Developed and Published by Albert Einstein Found
One of France’s oldest science museums, the Ampère Museum, has just revealed a treasure hidden in its reserves: the only complete and authentic version of the Einstein-de Haas experiment, a rare experimental work published by Albert Einstein himself. This extraordinary discovery, the result of research by Alfonso San Miguel, a researcher at the Institut Lumière […]

Physicists announce new theory that unifies Gravity and Quantum Mechanics while preserving Einstein’s concept of Spacetime
Modern physics is based on two pillars. One is quantum theory, which governs the smallest particles in the universe. The other is Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which explains gravity through the curvature of spacetime. But these two theories contradict each other, and reconciling them has been difficult for over a century. The prevailing hypothesis […]

An ultra-high energy cosmic ray from an unknown location in space impacted the Earth
A high-energy particle fell from space and hit the Earth’s surface, but its origin and exact nature are unknown. This may sound like science fiction, but it’s a real scientific discovery, according to research led by Associate Professor Toshihiro Fujii of Osaka Metropolitan University’s Faculty of Science and Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics. Cosmic […]

Physicists trap Electrons in a 3D Crystal for the first time
Electrons move through conductive materials like travelers during rush hour in Manhattan. The charged particles can bump and collide with each other but mostly don’t pay attention to other electrons as they zip around at high speeds, each with their own energy. But when electrons in a material are trapped together, they can all reach […]
