Are dark photons alternatives to dark matter?
Researchers investigate dark photons as alternatives to dark matter, aiming to detect these particles through experiments involving the conversion of light.
Atoms vs apples: How quantum effects challenge gravity’s rules
New research reveals that quantum effects defy the universality of free fall, providing a potential experimental pathway to test quantum gravity.
How does rotation affect the quantum properties of electrons?
A study explores how the behavior of electrons changes on the mesoscale under magnetic fields and rotation.
Searching for the true theory of electromagnetism
Scientists probe cosmic microwave background and black hole radiation to test our understanding of electromagnetism.
The surprising influence of shape on twisted graphene
Scientists are exploring the behavior of electrons in helicoidal graphene strips, a unique form of graphene with a twisted shape.
Modified theory of gravity eliminates the need for dark energy
Many physicists are still skeptical that dark energy can fully explain gravity, and are therefore exploring alternative theories.
How does classical physics arise from quantum mechanics?
Emergence of classicality states that a quantum description of a large object must be the same as its classical description, but this isn’t always so…
