The Latest Breaking News on Physics

Scientists just made the 1st antimatter 'qubit.' Here's why it could be a big deal

Scientists made an antimatter qubit made from an antiproton that is in a state of quantum superposition. This breakthrough will allow the strength of the particle's magnetic moment to be measured with unprecedented precision.

'This is the holy grail of theoretical physics.' Is the key to quantum gravity hiding in this new way to make black holes?

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of physics.

Space

Did our cosmos begin inside a black hole in another universe? New study questions Big Bang theory

A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have instead formed inside a colossal black hole.

Laws of physics are still broken: Attempt to explain away black holes' central singularity falls short, scientist says

A researcher throws cold water on a recent effort that purported to eliminate black holes' greatest and most enduring mystery — the existence of their central singularity.

Physicists prove long-held theory light can be made from nothingness of vacuum

Researchers say simulation experiment may pave way to look for dark matter particles

The Independent UK

There's an infinite amount of energy locked in the vacuum of space-time. Could we ever use it?

Unfortunately, any work you do in the universe will have to be done the old-fashioned way.

Space

A long-running experiment finds a tiny particle is still acting weird

Final results from a long-running U.S.-based experiment show a tiny particle continues to act strangely -- but that’s still good news for the laws of physics as we know them

Black holes could work as natural particle colliders to hunt for dark matter, scientists say

Supermassive black holes could act as natural particle accelerators, helping humanity investigate dark matter.

Space

New theory could finally make 'quantum gravity' a reality — and prove Einstein wrong

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Space

Why do the numbers that shape our universe exist at all?

There is a set of very special numbers, known as the fundamental constants of nature, that cannot be explained. Where do they come from?

A spaceship moving near the speed of light would appear rotated, special relativity experiment proves

Using laser pulses, picosecond exposures on high-speed cameras, and some clever methods to simulate the speed of light, Austrian-based researchers were able to show that the image of an object moving at the speed of light is rotated.
