For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein’s general relativity explains gravity as the bending of space and time. Quantum mechanics governs the world of particles and fields. Both work brilliantly in their own domains. But put them together and contradictions appear – especially when it comes to black holes, dark matter, dark energy …

For several decades, a central puzzle in quantum physics has remained unsolved: Could electrons behave like a perfect, frictionless fluid with electrical properties described by a universal quantum number? This unique property of electrons has been extremely difficult to detect in any material so far because of the presence of atomic defects, impurities, and imperfections in the material. Researchers at …

Scientists have detected a “Dirac fluid” in graphene, where electrons flow like a nearly perfect liquid and defy conventional physics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Electrons in graphene can act like a perfect fluid, defying established physical laws. This finding advances both fundamental science and potential quantum technologies. For decades, quantum physicists have wrestled with a fundamental question: can electrons flow like a …

Researchers at Tampere University and their collaborators from Germany and India have experimentally confirmed that angular momentum is conserved when a single photon is converted into a pair – validating a key principle of physics at the quantum level for the first time. This breakthrough opens new possibilities for creating complex quantum states useful in computing, communication, and sensing. Conservation …

The ice was supposed to be solid. That’s what the scientist expected, anyway. Instead, they stepped into water — standing meltwater, in February, in the Arctic. That’s not a weird fluke. That’s the new normal in Svalbard, and it’s happening faster than most of us realize. If that sounds far off, it’s not. Because what happens in the Arctic doesn’t …

The world of Bousso’s new theorem still departs from our universe in notable ways. For mathematical convenience, he assumed that there’s an unlimited variety of particles—an unrealistic assumption that makes some physicists wonder whether this third layer matches reality (with its 17 or so known particles) any better than the second layer does. “We don’t have an infinite number of …
