Scientists may finally detect hidden waves in spacetime

Scientists may finally detect hidden waves in spacetime

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

Scientists create an atomic clock of ytterbium that can detect dark matter

The Blueprint

Physicists have created a very precise and very complex atomic clock based on ytterbium, which can test the limits of the Standard Model and even search for invisible dark matter. Led by Taiki Ishiyama, PhD, a physicist at Kyoto University’s School of Science in Japan, the project used the unusual orbital change of atoms, which … Read more
