Measurements of a ‘Double Magic’ Atom Uncover an Unexpected Discovery

Physics /

A groundbreaking experiment smashing special lead atoms with high-speed particles has revealed an unexpected twist in nuclear physics. Physicists from the University of Surrey expected lead-208 (208Pb) to have a perfectly spherical nucleus. Instead, their findings showed a slightly flattened shape, challenging long-held assumptions about atomic structure. A Puzzle at the Heart of Nuclear Physics […]

We’ve Misunderstood a Fundamental Law of Physics for Nearly 300 Years

Physics /

When Isaac Newton penned his famous laws of motion in 1687, he likely never imagined they would still spark debate over 300 years later. Writing in Latin, he outlined three fundamental principles governing motion in the universe. Over the centuries, scholars have translated, analyzed, and debated them extensively. However, philosopher of language and mathematics Daniel

Magnetism Has Just Solved One of Quantum Tech’s Biggest Challenges

Physics /

Researchers have found a way to preserve quantum properties in 3D materials using magnetic confinement. By stabilizing excitons—energy-carrying quasiparticles—through the magnetic properties of chromium sulfide bromide, they address a major challenge in quantum technology. Quantum effects typically only work at small scales, making them hard to apply in real-world systems like quantum computers. However, Penn

Quantum Search for the Origin of Time Reveals No Distinction Between Past and Future

Physics, Quantum Physics /

In search of the source of time, University of Surrey physicists Thomas Guff, Chintalpati Umashankar Shastry, and Andrea Rocco examined what they likened to a hot quantum bathtub beneath the endless stretch of eternity. No matter how hard we try, we can’t remember what will happen tomorrow—and physicists still don’t know why. They didn’t find

Quantum Mechanics was Established a Century Ago, and Physicists are Marking the Milestone

Physics, Quantum Physics /

A century ago, science embraced quantum principles. To commemorate this, physicists are hosting a year-long global celebration. In 1925, quantum mechanics began to take shape, offering a scientific theory that explains the counterintuitive behaviors of physics at microscopic scales. From that point onward, a series of groundbreaking papers established the theory’s foundation. Since then, quantum

Debunking the Quantum Entropy Myth – How Disorder Inevitably Prevails

Physics /

Researchers at TU Wien have resolved a long-standing paradox in quantum entropy, proving that even in isolated quantum systems, disorder naturally increases, aligning quantum mechanics with thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy—disorder—always increases in a closed system. This explains why ice melts and why shattered vases don’t reassemble. However, quantum physics appears
