On Tuesday, the Nobel Prize in Physics was presented to three scientists for their groundbreaking research on attoseconds, which represent incredibly brief intervals of time that are nearly beyond imagination. Their work using lasers gives scientis…
According to quantum mechanics, a vacuum isn't empty at all. It's actually filled with quantum energy and particles that blink in and out of existence for a fleeting moment - strange signals that are known as quantum fluctuations. For decad…
Warp drive pioneer and former NASA warp drive specialist Dr. Harold G “Sonny” White has reported the successful manifestation of an actual, real-world “ Warp Bubble. ” And, according to White, this first of its kind breakthrough by his Limitless …
In 1917, just two years after Albert Einstein proposed the general theory of relativity — his revolutionary new theory of gravity — he took a bold step forward and decided to apply his theory to the Universe as a whole. His question was simple but …
Energy teleportation sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but now, research shows that you can actually pull energy from nothing. Using quantum mechanics, two different physics experiments prove it’s possible to conjure energy from an energ…
Gravitational waves (GWs) were found for the first time in history. This discovery proved a prediction that Albert Einstein made more than 100 years ago. It also started a revolution in the field of astronomy. Since then, dozens of GW events hav…
Princeton scientists believe they have the tools to peer back into the beginning of time itself. The researchers say they can use ripples in space-time, known as gravitational waves, to basically see the start of everything we know. “We can’t se…
Scientists rattling normal frozen water around in a jar of ultracold steel balls have discovered a previously unknown form of ice, closer to liquid water than any other ice yet. This is amorphous ice, a form not found in nature on Earth. That…
We’re one step closer to a future of near-limitless clean energy. Physicists in Germany just found a way to minimize a major heat-loss problem plaguing a promising kind of nuclear fusion reactor called a “stellarator.” The future of clean energ…
In 1905, the 26-year-old Albert Einstein proposed something quite outrageous: that light could be both wave or particle. This idea is just as weird as it sounds. How could something be two things that are so different? A particle is small and confi…
A mysterious quantum phenomenon reveals an image of an atom like never before. You can even see the difference between protons and neutrons. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Accelerator (RHIC), from the Brookhaven Laboratory in the United States, is a…
What more exciting possibility does physics raise than time travel? We all dreamed of an opportunity to visit the Triassic or repeat an exam in “ the DeLorean .” Of all the paradoxes that our interpretation of physical phenomena brings us, probably…
One of quantum mechanics' stranger aspects could be explained by an equally strange idea: causation can run backwards in time as well as forwards. Updated version of the previous article. What Einstein referred to as " spooky " act…
The Theory of Relativity, published in 1905 by Albert Einstein, postulated the existence of gravitational waves—oscillations of the space-time fabric—and more than a century later, we have irrefutable evidence of it. Now, a new study has managed to…
