Scientists Hunt for Tiny Black Holes Hidden in LHC Collisions
Physicists found no tiny black holes at the LHC, but they just made the hiding place for new…
A photon crossed 2 billion light-years to reach Earth when physics says it shouldn’t
The highest-energy photon ever seen from a cosmic blast should have been absorbed en route, and quantum gravity…

CERN has begun disconnecting the Large Hadron Collider
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) stretches 27 km around and relies on thousands of magnets of different types…
Quantum computing’s “dark horse” just proved it can go universal
A practical quantum computer must eventually be able to handle any type of quantum algorithm, much like a…
A 60-beam ultraviolet laser flash-vaporized the surface of tiny diamonds so the blast would kick a shock wave through them, melting the hardest material on Earth at 12,680 degrees and 145 million psi, and solid diamond turned out to float on its own melt like ice on water
KeysQuestions4Explore4 For two decades, physicists couldn’t agree on something as fundamental as when diamond melts — and the…
Gravity Seems Holographic. What Does That Mean for Reality?
In my first months as a physics journalist nearly a decade ago, I kept running into an inscrutable…
