Elegant experiments with entangled light have laid bare a profound mystery at the heart of reality

Nature - Efforts to replicate the material have pieced together the puzzle of why it displayed superconducting-like behaviours.

Condensed-matter physicist Ranga Dias and his colleagues reported on Tuesday the discovery of a room-temperature, near-ambient-pressure superconductor; Dias is also being accused of committing...

Ranga Dias’s co-authors request retraction after review raises questions about the credibility of the data

Technologies developed by engineers and scientists at NASA have been spread throughout the private sector in products ranging from computer chips and medical devices to food additives.

Nature - Ranga Dias claimed to have discovered the first room-temperature superconductors, but the work was later retracted. An investigation by Nature’s news team reveals new details about what...

After years spent languishing in obscurity, proposals for a muon collider are regaining momentum among particle physicists

Evidence suggests much of Ranga Dias’s thesis was copied from other sources

Nature - Social media is abuzz with chatter about the material, but some scientists are pushing back on the hype.

Runaway success and underfunding have led to growing pains for the preprint server

Nature - Ranga Dias will have a second paper revoked. A journal’s investigation found apparent data fabrication.

We successfully synthesized polycrystalline LK-99-like ceramic samples with a solid-state-sintering method. Powder X-ray diffraction shows that the main contents are...

Long-awaited boosts to the world’s most powerful collider could spur breakthroughs in the hunt for physics beyond the Standard Model

Architect of the Standard Model dies at 88.

A recent report of room temperature superconductivity at ambient pressure in Cu-substituted apatite (`LK99') has invigorated interest in the understanding of what materials and mechanisms can...

Over 10 days, researchers participating in the once-a-decade “Snowmass process” attempted to build a unified scientific vision for the future of particle physics

The clearest précis of the room-temperature superconductivity ruckus about LK-99 (no, not that other one)—a viral, meme-laden extravaganza of semi-scientific speculation run by revelers with the pa…

A recent article [Nature 612, 51-55 (2022)] claims to observe traversable wormhole dynamics in an experiment. This claim is based upon performing a teleportation protocol using a Hamiltonian that...

Quantum bits (aka qubits), the reader is assured, are somehow "entangled" such that they rely on one another. If more detail is needed, we're told entanglement links qubits no matter how far apart...

Nature - Ranga Dias sued his university, in part, for allegedly conducting a biased investigation, which found he had committed extensive scientific misconduct.

"We need two colliders: an e+e- Higgs factory and a 100 TeV proton proton collider. But if you had a high energy lepton collider, it could really do both for you. It could be the all-in-one machine."...

The recent report of superconductivity in nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride at near-ambient pressures and temperatures has attracted great attention but also continuing controversy. Several...

Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L’Huillier split the award for their ability to picture nature in a billionth of a billionth of a second

The latest data from the Muon g−2 experiment corroborates previous results, but clashing theoretical predictions leave physicists without a clear conclusion

Birds can sense magnetic fields, thanks to internal compasses that likely rely on changes to proteins in the retina.

Electrons have been seen uniting into entities with fractions of electric charge, this time without a magnetic field coaxing them into it.

The setup of lasers and mirrors effectively “solved” a problem far too complicated for even the largest traditional computer system
