A star in a distant galaxy appears to have been almost torn apart in a close shave with a supermassive black hole, not once but twice – and astronomers hope to see it happen again
Time loops have long been the stuff of science fiction. Now, using the rules of quantum mechanics, we have a way to effectively transport a particle back in time – here’s how
One way to explain why time only moves forward is the quantum arrow of time, and it has major implications for both the universe's early period and its eventual demise
If our solar system and even our sun contain tiny black holes formed just after the big bang, they should be orbiting in elaborate patterns
Subatomic particles can appear to instantly influence one another, no matter how far apart they are. These days, that isn't a source of mystery – it's a fact of the universe and a resource for new technologies
Fractals are common in nature because of the surprisingly simple way they are made. Mathematically, they also help us make sense of complexity and chaos – and maybe even quantum weirdness
With tentative evidence for long-lasting quantum phenomena inside cells, researchers are beginning to rethink what we need to look for to find clinching evidence of quantum biology
For the first time, a quantum sensor has been used to record magnetic signals from the heart of a living animal, opening the door for future uses of quantum technology in medical settings
Experiments show that effect doesn’t always follow cause in the weird world of subatomic particles, offering fresh clues about the quantum origins of space-time
Mathematicians are celebrating a 1000-page proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture, a problem so complicated that even other mathematicians struggle to understand it. Despite that, it is hoped the proof can provide key insights across maths and physics
A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical giant structure that surrounds a star to capture its solar output. Two separate groups of astronomers claim they have detected dozens of possible Dyson spheres within our Milky Way galaxy. NBC’s Gadi Schwartz spoke with Dr. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist, futurist, and bestselling author of QUANTUM SUPREMACY: How The […]
A contentious meeting of physicists highlighted concerns, failures and possible fixes for a crisis in condensed matter physics
For the first time, astronomers have observed the area right at the edge of a black hole where matter stops orbiting and plunges straight in at near light speed
Gravitational waves can be lensed by massive galaxies so that they repeat, like an echo. Scientists are now readying to snare their first one and explore the cosmic secrets it holds
The USA is back on the Moon thanks to the IM-1 mission by private American lunar access provider, Intuitive Machines. This week their Nova-C class lunar lander launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and touched down successfully on the lunar surface. Dr. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist, futurist, and bestselling author of QUANTUM SUPREMACY: How […]
Technology for Change Asia February 27th-28th, 2024 Grand Hyatt Hong Kong This month, Dr. Michio Kaku, globally-renowned theoretical physicist, futurist, and bestselling author of QUANTUM SUPREMACY: How The Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything, will be keynoting a major conference in Hong Kong — an international financial, economic, and technology hub. Asia-Pacific has unique challenges […]
