Collaborate Disseminate
Wormholes are a staple of sci-fi, and there’s a possibility that they exist in the real universe. But how would they work? Physicists have now used a quantum processor to simulate a traversable wormhole, teleporting information between two quantum syst… Continue reading Traversable wormhole recreated in a quantum computer for first time
After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs drastically from predictions based on the Standard M… Continue reading Startling discovery threatens to upend Standard Model of particle physics
The role magnets play in physics research is a critical one, helping guide the trajectory of particle beams that allow for high-speed collisions and groundbreaking discoveries. But not all magnets are create equal, with some quicker to generate the req… Continue reading Next-gen particle accelerator magnet ramps up at record speed
Dark matter may make up the vast majority of the matter in the universe, but it’s strangely shy about making its presence known. Now, physicists have designed a new test to search for signs of two candidate particles, using the quirky world of quantum … Continue reading Quantum bits recruited to detect dark matter turning into light
A quantum internet would be much faster and more secure than the one you’re using right this second – and now such a network may be one step closer to reality. Scientists have used quantum teleportation to send information over long distances, with a h… Continue reading High-fidelity, long-distance teleportation paves way for quantum internet
An extensive search for a hypothetical particle has turned up empty. The sterile neutrino is a proposed subatomic particle that could even be a candidate for the mysterious dark matter, and although previous studies have hinted at its existence, two ne… Continue reading Neutrino experiments find no sign of expected new subatomic particle
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced and detailed a blueprint for a national quantum internet that would be super-fast and nigh on unhackable. The document describes four research areas that need to be given priority in order to develop the … Continue reading US government outlines plans for “unhackable” national quantum internet
After years of attempts, the particle’s most common decay pattern has finally been observed at the Large Hadron Collider. Continue reading In Major Breakthrough, Scientists Observe Higgs Boson Decay into Bottom Quarks
Performing high-energy physics experiments can get very expensive, a fact that attracts debate on public funding for scientific research. But the reality is that scientists often work very hard to stretch their funding as far as they can. This is why we need informative and entertaining stories like Gizmodo’s How Physicists Recycled WWII Ships and Artillery to Unlock the Mysteries of the Universe.
The military have specific demands on components for their equipment. Hackers are well aware MIL-SPEC parts typically command higher prices. That quality is useful beyond their military service, which lead to how CERN obtained large quantities …read more
