Hunting dark energy with gravity resonance spectroscopy Dark Energy is widely believed to be the driving force behind the universe’s accelerating expansion, and several theories have now been proposed to explain its elusive nature. However, these […]
A proprioceptive mechanism to enable fish-like swimming in robots Over the past few decades, roboticists have developed a variety of robots inspired by nature, humans and animals. To effectively mimic animals or humans, however, these […]
How physics breaks down in a black hole One of the most cherished laws of physics—the conservation of charge—has come under fire in “startling” research by physicists. The paper by Dr. Jonathan Gratus from Lancaster University and […]
Scientists focus on cone targets to enhance temperature of electron beams Intense short-pulse laser-driven production of bright high-energy sources, such as X-rays, neutrons and protons, has been shown to be an invaluable tool in the […]
New possibilities for detecting Hawking radiation emitted by primordial black holes While many physicists have predicted the existence of dark matter, a type of matter that does not absorb, reflect or emit light, so far […]
Team discovers unexpected quantum behavior in kagome lattice An international team led by researchers at Princeton University has uncovered a new pattern of ordering of electric charge in a novel superconducting material. The researchers discovered […]
