Dark Energy Alternatives to Einstein Are Running out of Room
January 9, 2013 Astronomers have found that a popular alternative to Albert Einstein's theory for the acceleration of the expansion of the universe does not fit newly obtained data on a fundamental constant, the ... > full story -
News from the World of Quantum Physics: A Non-Causal Quantum Eraser
January 9, 2013 Whether a quantum object behaves like a wave or like a particle depends (according to the Copenhagen interpretation) on the choice of measurement apparatus used for observing the system, and ... > full story -
Testing Einstein's Famous Equation E=mc2 in Outer Space
January 8, 2013 A team of physicists have stirred the physics community with an intriguing idea yet to be tested experimentally: The world's most iconic equation, Albert Einstein's E=mc2, may be correct or not ... > full story -
New Antimatter Trapping Method to Provide 'a Major Experimental Advantage'
January 7, 2013 Researchers have proposed a method for cooling trapped antihydrogen which they believe could provide 'a major experimental advantage' and help to map the mysterious properties of antimatter that have ... > full story -
A Mathematical Study of the Famous Dirac Equation That Describes Particles
January 7, 2013 In 1928 the British physicist Paul Dirac put forward one of the fundamental equations that we use today to mathematically describe a spin one-half particle from a relativistic point of view. The ... > full story -
New Phase in Reading Photons

A Temperature Below Absolute Zero: Atoms at Negative Absolute Temperature Are the Hottest Systems in the World
January 4, 2013 On the absolute temperature scale, which is used by physicists and is also called the Kelvin scale, it is not possible to go below zero – at least not in the sense of getting colder than zero ... > full story -
Secure Communication Technology Can Conquer Lack of Trust
January 2, 2013 Many scenarios in business and communication require that two parties share information without either being sure if they can trust the other. Examples include secure auctions and identification at ... > full story -
Measurements Hint Why the Universe Is Dominated by Matter, Not Anti-Matter
December 26, 2012 Physicists have made a precise measurement of elusive, nearly massless particles, and obtained a crucial hint as to why the universe is dominated by matter, not by its close relative, ... > full story -
Powerful New Tool Is Quantum Analog of Phase Space Flow
December 26, 2012 Physicists have found that a new powerful tool they call 'Wigner flow' is the quantum analog of phase space flow. Wigner flow provides information for quantum dynamics similar to that gleaned from ... > full story
