Physicists are now able to manipulate and control individual molecules for a millionth of a billionth of a second

U.K. researchers recently demonstrated a newfound technique to manipulate extremely brief chemical reactions involving individual molecules. A Nanowerks article reported that these reactions last for just a millionth of a billionth of a second, making the technique one of the most precise means of control known to man. They developed the technique after getting unexpected […]

MISSING PHYSICS: Researchers attempt to find particles that escaped the world’s largest particle accelerator

Several physicists are urging the construction of a new facility to supplement the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle detectors will hunt for long-lived particles that have escaped the biggest particle accelerator ever built, an article in Science Daily stated. The LHC is a huge ring of superconducting magnets built underground in the French-Swiss border. It […]

Theoretical physicists have proposed a new form of matter called “superfluid quasicrystal”

Matter isn’t just limited to the solid, liquid, and gaseous forms you’re familiar with. It also takes other forms, such as the plasma in the Sun or your plasma TV. In a ScienceDaily article, a new Dallas-based study has proposed a new form of matter called “superfluid quasicrystal.” A superfluid is a very rare state […]

The “information speed limit” just got doubled by quantum physicists

Quantum physicists have once more managed to bend the laws of nature. They found out how to send twice the amount of information using a single particle, effectively doubling the so-called bandwidth of the universe even though the speed of the message hasn’t increased, according to an article on Space.com. We can only transfer so […]
