The true colors of stars
Stars are depicted using different colors, but are they accurate? A new scientific color palette aims to put misrepresentations to rest.
How is spacetime altered by entangled particles?
A new thought experiment explores the interface between quantum mechanics and general relativity using the transfer of information.
Quantum advantage tested in quantum games
A set of quantum computers was put to the test by playing the notorious triangle game.
Physicists create a quantum domain wall in the lab
Researchers have discovered how to create and manipulate a quantum object called a “domain wall”, which exhibits particle-like properties.
Scientists have measured neutrino mass with record-breaking accuracy
Scientists have constrained the mass of neutrinos to less than 1 eV for the first time, breaking an important barrier in neutrino physics.
String theory fuzzballs resolve famous black hole paradox
Scientists have turned to string theory to better understand black holes, proposing they can be modeled as “fuzzballs” made up of interacting strings.
Black hole asymmetry puts quantum gravity to the test
Physicists hope to detect asymmetry in spinning black holes using NASA’s LISA telescope to finally provide proof of quantum gravity.
Dark matter could be composed of primordial black holes
A new theory for the origin and nature of dark matter resolves some inconsistencies between cosmological predictions and astronomical data.
Physicists identify a quantum membrane in merging black holes
The existence of a quantum membrane is predicted by some theories of gravity, and scientists might be one step closer to identifying one.
