New Delhi: The Mumbai-based Lodha Foundation is all set to start the Lodha Theoretical Physics Institute or LTPI in May 2026, has been designated as a center for advanced research in fundamental physics. It is set to be led by Jainendra Jain, professor of physics at the University of Pennsylvania and winner of the Wolf … Read more
CERN has forever changed the way we study the world around us. The graphics lab made learning impossible. And physicists at CERN have just discovered the “strange proton” disappearing as quickly as it appeared, disappearing in a moment. What effects will this have on science and the world in the years to come? CERN is … Read more
A game with only three moves may sound simple. In quantum physics, it can still break old logic. That is the focus of a new experiment led by physicist Zhenghao Liu and his colleagues at the Technical University of Denmark. Writing in Science Advances, the team has constructed what they describe as the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger triple … Read more
The Big Bang is often described as the moment when everything began – the point of infinite density where the laws of physics were broken. But what if that picture isn’t perfect? A new study presents a different account of the birth of the universe: Instead of a sudden start from singularity, as predicted by … Read more
When you make a purchase through our article links, Future and its affiliates may receive a commission. A comparison of the early stages of the universe. The proposed changes to Einstein’s relativity suggest that the universe did not begin in a single state, which could solve one of the most prominent questions about the Big … Read more
For the first time, physicists have discovered that ‘holes’ of light can travel faster than light itself. They are known as phase singularities or optical vortices, and since the 1970s, scientists have predicted that, just as the eddies in the river can move faster than the water flowing around them, so can the waves of … Read more

Scientists have struggled for years to explain the mysterious mechanism inside tokamaks, donut-shaped machines designed to one day generate electricity by fusing atoms together. Inside these devices, superheated plasma is held in place by gravity. Some of those particles eventually escape from the back and head towards the smoke chamber, called the divertor. When the … Read more
