China’s crazy levitating train took a big step toward becoming a reality
China’s push for high-speed transportation has taken a major leap forward with its experimental T-Flight maglev train. Designed to reach record-breaking speeds, this levitating train …
Researchers used lasers to create a real-life levitation ray
Scientists have taken a cutting-edge development from 2018 and pushed it even further, creating a levitation ray capable of lifting microscopic material. At the heart …
Why the laws of physics are actually really good at math
It might sound strange to think about physics (which often involves a lot of theory and hypotheticals) helping people solve mathematics problems. However, physics follows …
Groundbreaking experiment may let us ‘see’ gravity for the first time ever
Scientists have spent decades trying to understand how gravity operates at its most basic scale. However, no theory has come close to fully explaining it. …
Scientist claims he has evidence we live in a simulation
We live in a simulation. It might sound crazy, yet some of the brightest minds in the scientific community have long been consumed by the …
An astrophysicist claims he finally figured out time travel
Time travel has been one of the biggest tropes in science fiction for years. But what if you could actually go back in time and …
Room-temperature, ambient pressure superconductor could be one of the most important discoveries of our time
Scientists in South Korea have begun developing a room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor, if new claims are to be believed. The claim is published in a paper …
Scientists watched cracked metal heal itself in an ‘absolutely stunning’ discovery
Scientists have witnessed something extraordinary. According to new reports and research, scientists watched healing metal, where cracked metal fused back together without any kind of …
China is searching a mile below the ocean floor for the world’s most elusive particle
Chinese scientists are searching for signs of the world’s most elusive particles. The search has taken these scientists almost a mile beneath the ocean’s surface, …
Remarkable new system can transmit radio waves with almost no electricity
Creating an ultra-low-powered radio device has always been thought impossible because it would rely on perpetual motion to generate energy. That’s because the second law …
Scientists may have come up with a way to study the smallest form of matter
Quarks are the smallest form of matter that we know of. So small, in fact, that studying it in any meaningful way has proven nearly …
This physicist says ‘paradox-free’ time travel is plausible
Time travel might seem like nothing more than science fiction, but scientists actually say that isn’t the case at all. Time travel could actually be …
The laws of physics don’t actually exist, according to this physicist
The laws of physics do not exist, a theoretical physicist named Sankar Das Sarma argues in a new column published by New Scientist. While we …
How one scientist wants to prove we live in a simulation
The simulation theory is an old belief that everything we know and love is just part of a computer-run simulation. It’s a belief that relies …
This physicist actually slowed down the speed of light
In 1999, a Danish physicist named Lene Hau did the unthinkable. She slowed the speed of light. It was a remarkable move that completely changed …
MIT scientists found a drastically more efficient way to boil water
The fine folks at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have been in the news a lot recently. Not only are they hunting for dark …
Scientists searching for dark matter witnessed the rarest event ever recorded
Scientists managed to observe one of the rarest physics events ever while hunting for dark matter. Researchers with the XENON Collaboration were busy hunting for …
Scientists baffled by magnetic material that freezes when heated up
Physicists have discovered that certain magnetic material freezes when the temperature rises to a certain point. We’ve typically only seen this behavior when we cool …
Scientists discovered a never-before-seen particle and it could be dark matter
Scientists have discovered a new, mysterious particle. Of course, making new discoveries is exciting. But, perhaps the most exciting thing about this particle is that …
Let’s reel in this talk of a ‘fifth dimension’ for a second
Researchers attempting to solve the problem of dark matter have proposed a particle that can travel to an unseen fifth dimension. The work is entirely …
Time travel isn’t as dangerous as we think, study says
Researchers say that if you’re worried about paradoxes in time travel, you shouldn’t be. Based on a lot of complex math, the team says they’ve …
Scientists finally spotted the rarest type of black hole
Scientists used gravitational-wave data to detect the merger of two smaller black holes and the formation of a larger one. The larger black hole is …
Science proves the real reason razors go dull
A new study took a microscopic look at razors to determine why they go dull when cutting soft material such as hair. The team found …
Scientists may have finally cracked the dark matter mystery
When astronomers gaze into space they can see many different things. Galaxies, stars, and even black holes can be spotted from our place here on …
This incredible sound wave system can make particles levitate
We’ve already seen sound waves do some pretty amazing things. For example, they can turn a regular, boring stream of water into a mesmerizing work of …
Scientists invented a new material that gets thicker as you stretch it
Most of us think we have a pretty solid grasp on basic physics, and one of the assumptions we’ve come to form is that any …
