Major, CC BY Over the past few years, a series of controversies have rocked the established field of cosmology. In short, the predictions of the standard universe model appear to be at odds with recent observations. There is … Read more
A team of physicists at Stockholm University has come up with a groundbreaking proposal: a method to detect single gravity. Interestingly, “those elusive particles were considered too difficult to observe” until now. For context, gravitons are theoretical particles believed to be the building blocks of gravity. Scientists have long struggled to bridge the gap between … Read more
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have observed and captured images of rare “edge states” in supercooled atoms. Using these results, they can learn to access and use electronic edge states in different materials. These breakthroughs in the field of quantum physics could lead to the discovery of unlimited energy sources. An “edge … Read more
