CERN scientists find no evidence that the Large Hadron Collider created microscopic black holes
A new CMS analysis found no evidence that the Large Hadron Collider produced microscopic black holes or electroweak…
Scientists propose a light-matter quantum state inside living cells
Researchers report an unexplained 71-terahertz vibration in living cells, mouse tissues and isolated mitochondria that disappears when mitochondrial…
Physicists convert microwaves to light helping quantum computers communicate over optical networks
A layered magnetic semiconductor called CrSBr converted microwave-driven magnetic excitations into coherent optical signals across a bandwidth of…
Stanford physicists observe a quantum jump of sound for the first time
Stanford researchers have directly tracked a single quantum of mechanical vibration, or phonon, abruptly disappearing from a microscopic…
Africa’s Turkana Rift has entered a critical stage of continental breakup
The crust beneath the Turkana Rift has thinned to about 13 kilometers, placing the region in an advanced…
ETH Zurich physicists built an ‘atomic cannon’ to put Einstein’s theory of gravity to the test
Physicists at ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute have created a narrow, cold-like beam of muonium, an…
CERN recreates cosmic ray collisions to reveal what happens when space particles hit Earth
Physicists at CERN have directly measured proton-oxygen collisions at 9.62 TeV per nucleon pair, closely recreating an important…
Quantum chip opens new way to read complex quantum systems
A quantum computing method called QCS reconstructed spectra from static, open and periodically driven quantum systems using one…
Almost 500 years after its last eruption, Italy’s supervolcano is growing restless
Decades of uplift and earthquakes appear to have progressively weakened parts of the shallow crust beneath Italy’s Campi…
Strange behavior in focused laser light could change how quantum computers control qubits
Physicists have directly observed the optical Magnus effect for the first time by mapping how a tightly focused…
Quantum interference offers a radically different way to measure time
A new “quantum watch” uses changing interference patterns inside excited helium atoms to determine how much time has…
‘Cosmic Glitch’ could explain why gravity acts differently across the Universe
Einstein’s theory of gravity may behave slightly differently across distances of billions of light-years, with gravity appearing about…
