Enlarge / Artist’s illustration of a quantum experiment that studies the physics of traversable wormholes. Wormholes are a classic science fiction trope in popular media, if only because they provide such a handy futuristic plot device for avoiding the problem of relativity violation with longer travel. fast as light. In reality, they are purely theoretical. …

Artwork depicting a quantum experiment that observes the behavior of a traversable wormhole. Credit: inqnet/A. Muller (Caltech) Physicists observe the dynamics of wormholes using a quantum computer in a step towards studying quantum gravity in the laboratory. For the first time, scientists have developed a quantum experiment that allows them to study the dynamics, or …

An artistic representation of the quantum teleportation experiment. Physicists used a quantum computer to perform a new kind of quantum teleportation, the ability of quantum states to be transported between distant places, as if information could travel instantaneously. Although teleportation is an established technique in quantum technology, the purpose of the latest experiment was to …

Cosmic chocolate pralines: surprising discovery of physicists on the structure of neutron stars

Leave a Comment / Physics / By

Studying the speed of sound has revealed that heavy neutron stars have a hard mantle and a soft core, while light neutron stars have a soft mantle and a hard core – much like different chocolate pralines. Credit: Peter Kiefer and Luciano Rezzolla Physicists are modeling more than a million equations of state to uncover …

Did you know: lightning can strike the same place several times? For example, the Empire State Building would be struck by lightning approximately 23 times per year. Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public domain The odds of being struck by lightning are less than one in a million, but those odds dropped dramatically this month when more than …
