Black holes cannot be created by light
July 26, 2024• Physics 17, 119The formation of a black hole from light alone is allowed by general relativity, but a new study says quantum physics rules it out. D.…

A deep-sea shark and several eels are attracted to a lure placed on top of Cook Seamount, as seen by the Pisces V submarine during a dive to the previously…
A team of scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California announced today that they have created livermorium, or element 116, using a beam of titanium particles for the first…
Time may not be a fundamental element of the universe, but rather an illusion arising from quantum entanglement, a new study suggests. time is a thorny problem for physicists; its…
Researchers in Australia are building a 'living seed bank' to protect the continent's last remaining fragments of rainforest from climate change. One goal is to avoid the extinction of ancient…
Experimental protocol and phase diagram of the mean field. credit: Natural physics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-024-02542-9 A crystal is an arrangement of atoms that repeats itself in space at regular intervals:…
Daedalus could learn a thing or two from a team of physicists in the UK and Switzerland.Taking principles from fractal geometry and the strategic game of chess, they created what…
Scientists have produced a rare form of quantum matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) using molecules instead of atoms.Made of chilled sodium-cesium molecules, these BECs are as cold as…
This is the face of the future. A team of scientists has unveiled a robot face covered in a delicate layer of living skin that heals itself and wrinkles into…
Squeeze enough stuff into one place, space-time itself will wrinkle into a sweet cosmic kiss known as a black hole.As far as Einstein's sums are concerned, these "things" include the…
