A Mathematician’s Unanticipated Journey Through the Physical World
...quantum physics. It’s a potpourri of insights that cohere around the positive Grassmannian, and around the unique mind that generated them. “Lauren is one of these people who thinks so...
How Artificial Intelligence Can Supercharge the Search for New Particles
...billions of collisions to a more manageable number, they may be inadvertently deleting evidence for new physics. “We’re always afraid we’re throwing the baby away with the bathwater,” said Kyle...
Physicists Pin Down Nuclear Reaction From Moments After the Big Bang
...physics, nuclear physics, cosmology and astronomy,” he said. The reaction involves deuterium, a form of hydrogen consisting of one proton and one neutron that fused within the cosmos’s first three...
Eternal Change for No Energy: A Time Crystal Finally Made Real
...is amazing: You evade the second law of thermodynamics,” said Roderich Moessner, director of the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany, and a co-author...
Computer Scientists Prove That Heat Destroys Quantum Entanglement
...physics compete with the laws of thermodynamics, and things get messy. At very low temperatures, entanglement can spread over long distances, enveloping many atoms and giving rise to strange phenomena...
Why This Universe? A New Calculation Suggests Our Cosmos Is Typical.
...for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, for the same reason that air spreads evenly throughout a room: Weirder options are conceivable, but exceedingly improbable. The universe “may seem extremely fine-tuned,...
Inside the Knotty World of ‘Anyon’ Particles
A new class of quantum particle is about to emerge from the tangled considerations of quantum statistics. [No Caption] I. Prior to the emergence of quantum mechanics, fundamental physics was...
How the Hidden Higgs Could Reveal Our Universe’s Dark Sector
...particle physics. But it’s possible that the LHC has been producing such pivotal new particles all along, and that we’re just not seeing them. “The core of the story,” said...
‘Quantum Atmospheres’ May Reveal Secrets of Matter
...a ceramic-like insulator. Topological insulators have drawn attention for their unusual physics as well as for their potential use in quantum computers and so-called spintronic devices, which utilize electrons’ spins...
