Physicists Discover Universal Laws Governing Quantum Entanglement

Physicists Discover Universal Laws Governing Quantum Entanglement

Researchers used thermal effective theory to uncover universal patterns in quantum entanglement across all dimensions. Credit: Stock Scientists uncovered universal laws of entanglement in any dimension. The results strengthen links between particle physics, quantum theory, and gravity. A group of theoretical physicists has shown that quantum entanglement obeys universal principles in every dimension by applying thermal effective theory. Their findings …

Strange new shapes may rewrite the laws of physics

Strange new shapes may rewrite the laws of physics

How can the behavior of elementary particles and the structure of the entire universe be described using the same mathematical concepts? This question is at the heart of recent work by the mathematicians Claudia Fevola from Inria Saclay and Anna-Laura Sattelberger from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, recently published in the Notices of the American Mathematical …

Swimming sperm appear to break Newtonian laws of physics

Swimming sperm appear to break Newtonian laws of physics

Human sperm are famously good swimmers, yet the physics of their motion has puzzled scientists for decades. Thick cervical mucus or lab-made gels should throttle any cell only fifty microns long, but sperm shoot through with surprising ease. That puzzle finally cracked when a Kyoto University team revealed that the sperm tail’s internal mechanics side step Newton’s third law, the …
