Breakthrough Starshot, an international scientific effort, has revealed their plans to launch a probe to Alpha Centauri, our nearest star system, and it can reach its destination in just 20 years.

The setting of the experiment, dubbed "Wigner's Friend," is not too difficult. You begin with a quantum system that is in superposition, which implies that both of its states exist concurrently up to the point of measurement. In this example, the polarisation (the axis on which a photon spins) is both horizontal and vertical.

In November 2018, three physicists from the prestigious Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, in Waterloo, Canada, proposed an extraordinary idea: from the Big Bang not only the Universe we know but also another one that is 'its image in the mirror' arose. 

Physicists say they've found evidence in data from Europe's Large Hadron Collider for three never-before-seen combinations of quarks, just as the world's largest particle-smasher is beginning a new round of high-energy experiments.

Yusuf Shah, an 11-year-old schoolboy from Leeds, UK, has made headlines by achieving the highest possible score of 162 on a Mensa IQ test, surpassing the IQs of notable geniuses such as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

In a groundbreaking discovery, physicists have found that gravity can create light under certain conditions, opening up new avenues of research in astrophysics and cosmology.

Recent studies have shown that the Earth is spinning faster now than it has been in the past 50 years, leading to intriguing questions about the reasons behind this change and the potential implications for our planet.

This article explores the impossibility of dying according to quantum physics and its implications for our understanding of life, death, and consciousness.

Have you ever wondered what time really is? Is it a fundamental property of the universe, or a human invention? Is it something that...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have managed to extract energy from what appears to be thin air, defying conventional physics and sparking new possibilities for sustainable power generation.
