A Wrinkle in Space-Time: Math Shows How Shockwaves Could Crinkle Space
July 19, 2012 — Mathematicians have come up with a new way to crinkle up the fabric of space-time -- at least in ... > full story -
A Roll of the Dice: Quantum Mechanics Researchers Show That Nature Is Unpredictable
July 9, 2012 — Many of the predictions we make in everyday life are vague, and we often get them wrong because we have incomplete information, such as when we predict the weather. But in quantum mechanics, even if ... > full story -
Black Holes as Particle Detectors
June 18, 2012 — Black holes could serve as particle detectors, say scientists. Axions, a hypothetical but not improbable kind of particles, could accumulate around a black hole, creating a "boson cloud". After some ... > full story -
Hall Effect at the Speed of Light: How Can You Demonstrate Relativistic Effects With Your Mobile Phone?
May 21, 2012 — The relativistic Hall effect describing objects rotating at speeds comparable with the speed of light has now been ... > full story -
First Light: Researchers Develop New Way to Generate Superluminal Pulses
May 3, 2012 — Researchers have developed a novel way of producing light pulses that are "superluminal" -- in some sense they travel faster than the speed of light. The new method could be used to improve the ... > full story -
Clocking an Accelerating Universe: First Results from BOSS
March 30, 2012 — First spectroscopic results from BOSS give the most detailed look yet at the time when dark energy turned on some six billion light years ago, as the expansion of the universe was slipping from the ... > full storyMore: -
Quantum Copies Do New Tricks
March 22, 2012 — New research shows that it is possible to perfectly recover the original from the imperfect quantum copies. Scientists also propose a way that his could be done in ... > full story -
Looking at Quantum Gravity in a Mirror
March 18, 2012 — Einstein's theory of gravity and quantum physics are expected to merge at the Planck-scale of extremely high energies and on very short distances. Now scientists have proposed a new quantum ... > full story -
Direct Measurement of the Formation Length of Photons
February 28, 2012 — How long does it take an electron to form a photon? The answer would normally be: so short a time that it cannot be measured. However, the scientists responsible for experiment NA63 have now ... > full story -
Pulsars: The Universe's Gift to Physics
February 20, 2012 — Pulsars, which already have produced two Nobel Prizes, are providing scientists with unique insights on topics from particle physics to General ... > full story
