New telescope data suggests the mysterious invisible force holding galaxies together might be a quantum fog, not particles. This discovery could rewrite our understanding of how the universe actually works.
Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory just confirmed something amazing: the particles that make up our universe retain a special connection to the quantum vacuum where they originated. This breakthrough opens a new window into understanding how everything we see emerged from what looks like nothing.
A century ago, physicists exploring quantum mechanics had no practical goal in mind. Today, that "useless" curiosity drives trillion-dollar industries from medicine to telecommunications.
Researchers just solved a puzzle that's stumped nuclear physicists for years, creating a tool that finally matches what happens in labs. The breakthrough helps us understand how atoms swap parts during collisions.
Scientists at Oxford University have successfully engineered proteins that harness quantum mechanics, marking the first time these mysterious physics effects have been deliberately designed into biological molecules for practical use. The breakthrough could revolutionize medical imaging and drug delivery.
