Robbert Dijkgraaf on Exploring Quantum Reality
...at the physics books and I’m not burdened in any way that this is my career.” And I remember picking up a few books of physics, well, that’s so wonderful,...
In LHC’s Shadow, America’s Collider Awakens
...the plasma’s peculiar mathematical relationship to black holes, have revealed that it is an almost “perfect” liquid, possessing the lowest viscosity (or internal friction) allowed by quantum physics. A monitor...
‘Penguin’ Anomaly Hints at Missing Particles
...governed particle physics for 40 years. “What we find is that this anomaly has persisted,” said Guy Wilkinson, a physicist at the University of Oxford and the spokesperson for the...
Search Escalates for Key to Why Matter Exists
...it as Selenium-76. The chemical decay could present a solution to one of the biggest mysteries in physics: why there is something rather than nothing in the universe. Among the...
Dark Energy Tested on a Tabletop
...physics,” said Burrage. “Pretty much anytime you want to go beyond that, the new physics you try and introduce gives you new scalar fields.” Scalar fields could produce dark energy...
Solid or Liquid? Physicists Redefine States of Matter
...physics textbooks say. The atomic patterns in quasicrystals like this model of an aluminium-palladium-manganese surface exhibit order, but never repeat. But this long-accepted explanation for the rigidity of solids fails...
The New Science of Evolutionary Forecasting
...physics tells him so. “The whole of physics is about prediction, and we’ve gotten quite good at it,” said Lässig, a physicist at the University of Cologne. “When we know...
Is Infinity Real?
...laws of physics. We don’t have to examine the foundations of physics to see examples of how the infinity assumption can give qualitative answers that are not quite correct in...
Paradoxical Crystal Baffles Physicists
...“On the basis of established wisdoms this cannot possibly happen, and henceforth completely new physics should be at work.” It is too soon to tell what, if anything, this “new...
