It hasn’t existed since the beginning of time itself… scientists have managed to create what they call quark soup. This substance is believed to be the smallest, hottest, and densest state of our universe and the very “soup” that allowed the universe to grow and expand into what we know it as today. For more,…

Room-temperature, room-pressure superconductivity has been a central goal of materials science for more than a century. Ranga Dias at the University of Rochester in New York and his colleagues claim to have made a material from hydrogen, nitrogen and lutetium that becomes superconductive at a temperature of just 21°C (69°F) and a pressure of 1…

Scientists built an analog quantum simulator that could answer important unsolved questions in the field of physics. these analog devices create a “hardware analogy” to solve problems in quantum physics. To test the simulator, researchers used a simple circuit coupled together with two quantum components. Tuning electrical voltages, scientists created a state of matter called…

A strange cloud of dust and gas is slowly being sucked into the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. A large, mysterious object is slowly being sucked into the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, an extreme rendezvous of epic proportions that we’ve closely been following for over two…

This is heavy stuff…can Ant Man be far behind? LOL The team published papers in Physical Review X, Quantum, Arxiv, Physical Review Letters and Optica on theoretical research and experiments proving it’s possible to “accelerate, decelerate and reverse the flow of time within arbitrary, even uncontrolled quantum systems.” These unique physical processes, capable of disrupting…

The real field of quantum steampunk is cutting-edge science. Scientists are mashing up steamy old thermodynamics and cutting-edge quantum mechanics into a new field they’re calling quantum steampunk. By combining some of the most established 19th-century science with nano-scale quantum technology, researchers say they can solve complex problems that require versatility and skill in both…

Scientists at Sussex University have managed to transfer data between chips accurately at record speeds. But publishing results in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications, the research team at Sussex University demonstrated a way to transfer information between quantum chips with 99.999993% reliability, the connection rate was 2424/s.

Nothing like a little strangeness to spark the imagination. Like the moon, Wolf 1069 b is “tidally locked” in its orbit, meaning the same side is constantly facing the red dwarf star. As a result, the planet’s “dayside” is perpetually day, and the nightside perpetually night. For more, check out this Mashable story.

Yeah, that’s probably not optimal… Researchers at the University of California-San Francisco, the University of California-Berkeley, and Salesforce Research, a science arm of the SF-based software company, developed an AI capable of copying evolution itself. This doesn’t mean the AI created some sort of evolutionary superior superhuman (yet), but instead, the AI designed sequences of…

I don’t normally post business news, but this is also a technology story. Intel used to be the gold standard in computer chips…but not anymore. One analyst said there were “no words” to describe the collapse of Intel, which has suffered as consumer demand for PCs has slackened overall. While the PC market is hurting…
