Researchers led by the University of Warwick have developed the first unified method to identify “space-time fluctuations” – small, random disturbances in the structure of space that appear in many attempts to link quantum physics with gravity. These minute changes were first proposed by physicist John Wheeler and are expected to appear in many leading … Read more

A ring-shaped arrangement of nearly symmetrically aligned constellations 1.3 billion light-years diameter has been known in the distant universe, and its size and geometry do not fit well with current models of the universe. The structure, called the The Great Ringit was identified by Alexia Lopez at the University of Central Lancashire by analyzing quasar … Read more
Since the war in Iran began on February 28, power has returned to international headlines. ADVERTISING ADVERTISING The conflict and Iran’s subsequent decision to clamp down on exports through the Strait of Hormuz – a key global oil shipping route – have produced what the International Energy Agency has described as the biggest disruption in … Read more
This week, Google published a paper explaining how a quantum computer can find a private key in bitcoin in 9 minutes, which has ramifications for Ethereum, other tokens, private banks, and everything in the world. Quantum computing is easy to mistake for a faster version of conventional computing. But it’s not a more powerful chip … Read more
How much of your future life is decided before you are born? A new analysis of more than a hundred records of twins suggests that genetics could halve people’s lifespans once death from accidents, infections and violence are removed. The work, carried out at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and published in the … Read more
Researchers in the United States have revealed the secrets of superconductors with high temperatures. Researchers at the US Department of Energy (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered how small changes in the structure of superhydride enable high temperatures close to room temperature but extreme pressure – providing clues to designing more efficient superconductors. “These experiments … Read more
Cloning was once considered a way to imitate life perfectly, with the same results every time. But a long-term experiment on mice revealed a different truth. The scientists followed the artificially created animals through several generations, and found that although the first clones appeared to be healthy, problems gradually increased. Over time, the … Read more
Proposals to install reflective mirrors and satellites up to 1m into low Earth orbit could have major implications for human health and the environment, leading sleep and circadian rhythm researchers have said. The presidents of four international scientific societies representing about 2,500 researchers from more than 30 countries are among those who expressed their concern … Read more
Researchers from the Department of Physics at the University of Warsaw, working with teams from the Łódź University of Technology, the Warsaw University of Technology, and the Polish Academy of Sciences, have created a structure that can capture infrared light with a layer of only 40 nanometers. Their method is based on a design known … Read more
