What could possibly go wrong? The post Scientists Experimenting With Quantum Effect That Some Fear Could Cause Chain Reaction ...

We consider a vacuum to be the lowest energy state of the Universe. But it's possible that there's an even lower-energy, more ...

A new recipe of "quadratic gravity" could help to better define the picture of the Big Bang and the singularity that existed ...

Researchers have simulated "false vacuum decay," a theoretical quantum process often called the "bubble of doom" that could ...

Physicists have modelled a quantum mechanism that can result in the end of the universe through the mechanism of false vacuum ...

In the new experiment, physicists used Rydberg atoms. These are atoms that have been excited, so their electrons move onto ...

The cosmological constant has been a problem in physics since Einstein, but new research may show why it takes the value that ...

The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...

Physicists in China have used giant Rydberg atoms to simulate a theoretical quantum process called false vacuum decay, a rare ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.
