Scientists Demonstrate Negative Time in Quantum Experiments at Toronto Lab
University of Toronto researchers observed “negative time” in photons through quantum experiments. Led by physicist Daniela Angulo, the study measured interactions between light and matter, revealing energy state changes in less than zero duration. While it challenges traditional time concepts, the findings remain consistent with Einstein's rel...

India-UK Team Proposes Experiment to Test Quantum Behaviour of Gravity with Diamond Crystals
An India-UK physics team led by Professor Sougato Bose from UCL has proposed a ground-breaking experiment to determine if gravity follows quantum mechanics, like other fundamental forces. Using a table-top setup, they aim to measure gravitational interactions between two nanodiamonds. The study, requiring cutting-edge technology, could take 10-15 y...

Inside China's Underground Lab Tasked With Solving A Physics Mystery
A giant sphere 700 m (2,300 ft) underground with thousands of light-detecting tubes will be sealed in a 12-storey cylindrical pool of water in coming months for an experiment that will shine new light on elusive subatomic particles called neutrinos.

New Quantum Cryptography Method Could Provide More Secure Encryption
Researchers at National University of Singapore have implemented an advanced form of quantum cryptography which would make the encryption immune to hacking. In the new study, scientists conducted an experiment where they used two mechanically entangled rubidium atoms. They excited both particles with a laser pulse and after which they fell into the...

First ‘ORGAN’ Experiment Successfully Conducted in Bid to Solve Mysteries of Dark Matter
In a bid to decipher the mystery behind dark matter, scientists have successfully conducted the first search for axions as part of the ORGAN (Oscillating Resonant Group AxioN) experiment. The experiment, hosted at the University of Western Australia's (UWA) Quantum Technologies and Dark Matter Laboratory, is geared towards searching for dark matter...

Scientists Discover New Elusive Particle, Magnetic Relative of Higgs Boson Particle, Using Tabletop Experiment
A team of scientists have discovered a new particle or a quantum excitation, which was previously undetectable, using a tabletop experiment. Named the axial Higgs mode, the new elusive particle is a magnetic relative of the mass-defining Higgs Boson particle.

Warp Drive Experiment to Make Atoms Invisible May Test Stephen Hawking's Most Famous Prediction
A new warp speed experiment might provide an indirect verification of physicist Stephen Hawking's black hole prediction. Scientists propose to capture a glimpse of the ethereal quantum glow that envelops things travelling at close to the speed of light by coaxing an atom to become invisible. Because the effect is so closely related to the Hawking e...

NASA's International Space Station Lab Develops Ultracold Atomic Bubbles, Paves New Way for Quantum Research
Researchers at NASA's Cold Atom Lab have experimented with gas to form an exotic material. They found that when gas is cooled to nearly absolute zero (minus 459 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 273 degrees Celsius), it forms small, round blobs. The new study will help researchers to further delve into the quantum nature of matter.

Researchers Close to Finding Ideal Building Block for Quantum Computers
Scientists are working to make the ideal building blocks to make these quantum computers more usable. A quantum computer uses building blocks known as qubits for functioning. These qubits function much like the cat in Schrodinger's cat thought experiment. Just as the cat is dead and alive at the same point in time, a qubit can simultaneously exis...
