Researchers from Canada and Spain have demonstrated for the first time that black holes cannot be formed from the compression of electromagnetic radiation alone. The reason for this lies in a quantum effect that converts energy into particles that scatter from the compressed area and prevent the light from collapsing
The non-Abelian anions are quasi-particles with fascinating statistical and topological properties. Until recently, these particles were only theoretical, but now a research group from Harvard University has created them for the first time in the laboratory. The discovery is made
A special article in honor of Hebrew new year summarizing the creation of the world through the lens of science
On May 10, three lectures in the field of quantum will be delivered to the general public, zoomed and free of charge. The event is being held in honor of World Quantum Day under the auspices of the Center for Quantum Information at the Hebrew University. No need to register in advance.
In an article published in the magazine Nature Physics, a team of researchers from Britain, the USA, Germany and Australia demonstrated for the first time the two cracks experiment in the timeline. Instead of a spatial dispersion on a screen, the temporal crack created a dispersion in the light spectrum,
In recent years, physicists from around the world have been discussing the construction of a muon accelerator instead of other conventional accelerators based on protons or electrons. Such an accelerator has clear advantages in discovering new physics, but its construction is accompanied by technological challenges
Has a room temperature conductor finally been discovered? very doubtful The scientific community is suspicious of the reliability of the findings and the reason for this is clear, the researcher who signed the discovery claimed this in the past and was repelled by his colleagues on the claim
Led by doctoral student Mamon Safdi and Professor Yaron Bromberg from the Hebrew University, an experiment was carried out that demonstrates for the first time a substantial advantage in characterizing materials using entangled photons over classical light. The experiment published in the prestigious journal Nature
A team of researchers from Harvard University, MIT and Calcutta in collaboration with Google successfully simulated a traversable wormhole with the help of a quantum computer. The experiment performed on Google's quantum processor demonstrated a transition of
The lecture will be free. The date of the lecture will be announced, those interested are invited to register
Inspired by the winners of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, we will discuss Bell's theorem without introducing formulas and inequalities. In this article we will illustrate how experiments with entangled particles contradict the assumption that there are hidden variables and that quantum mechanics indeed
A group of researchers from Nanjing University and the University of Science and Technology of China developed an experiment that tested a model for dark energy. The results of the experiment ruled out the model in question that predicted a fundamental fifth force in nature.
Physicist Hikida from the University of Tokyo and his colleagues developed the dual model for Einstein's theory of gravity in three-dimensional de Sitter space. This is a significant step towards a model that will faithfully describe nature, that is, the physics of
The new launch of the hadron accelerator in Geneva marks a decade since the discovery of the Higgs and opens a new decade of equally fascinating research. In this article we will review what we discovered and what questions remain open.
The human DNA molecule contains about three billion bases and replicates every day about two trillion times. In order for the cellular structure to be preserved, the replication process must be incredibly precise, but at the same time, the appearance of mutations
Following the new Marvel movie "Doctor Strange in the Dimensions of Madness" which takes place in the Multiverse, I decided to break down in a short article the meaning of parallel universes and the reasons to believe in their existence. In my opinion, science surpasses all imagination,
A black hole is a mysterious celestial body. Einstein's theory of relativity taught us a lot about black holes, but many question marks remain about what goes on inside. The picture will likely clear up in an instant
The Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli was born in Rome to a humble and poor family. Although luck was not in his favor, his hard work paid off. He managed to reach the top of the Italian Academy and worked with the great scientists
Researchers from Prague published in the prestigious journal Physical Review Letters an alternative model for dark matter based on MOND that succeeds in predicting the existence of the cosmic background radiation. This is a significant achievement that the MOND model failed
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded this year to Giorgio LaFerrisi for his scientific contribution in understanding complex systems alongside climate researchers. The prize committee decided to focus on the solution he proposed to the spin-glass problem on the grounds that this model is able to explain phenomena
In 1990 Penrose and Moroff hypothesized that the source of consciousness is in the fractal structure of the microtubules. The movement of the particles on the fractal is apparently explained with the help of the laws of quantum mechanics but this has never been proven. now
Where is the quantum in quantum mechanics? It turns out that nature is not discrete at all, as long as there is nothing to force it to be so
The most famous quantum equation was published in 1926 on just two pages. What does she describe and how did Schrödinger think of her?
What is spin? And where did the idea come from? This is a story about small steps, witty guesses and a fight against giants
Every week we will delve deeper into a physical idea known in popular literature and bridge the gap between what is shown in the media and what science really states. This time we will start with wave-particle duality, an elusive concept that sometimes raises more questions than answers, but
