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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]
