CERN Experiments Confirm Early Universe Behaved Like a Near-Perfect Fluid
Physicists at CERN have directly observed fluid-like behaviour in the quark–gluon plasma that filled the early universe. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider revealed wake-shaped ripples forming behind fast-moving quarks, similar to bow waves in liquids. These quark wakes confirm that the primordial “soup” of quarks and gluons behaved as ...

Physicists Develop New Method to Detect Tiny Fluctuations in Spacetime
Physicists at the University of Warwick have developed a new framework to detect tiny spacetime fluctuations known as “quantum foam,” a long-standing prediction of quantum gravity theories. The study maps different types of spacetime noise to measurable signals in interferometers such as LIGO and smaller laboratory setups. By translating abstra...

Physicists Discover Singularities-Free Black Holes Using Pure Gravity
Physicists at ICCUB have mathematically proven that black holes can form without singularities, eliminating the need for exotic matter. The study, published in Physics Letters B, demonstrates that higher-order gravitational corrections alone can generate regular black holes. This breakthrough challenges previous models and provides new insights int...

Dark Matter Mass Limits Linked to Higgs Boson Interactions
Efforts to unravel dark matter's mysteries have revealed a potential mass limitation due to its interaction with the Higgs boson. A new study suggests that dark matter particles exceeding a few thousand giga-electron volts (GeV) could disrupt the Higgs boson, altering fundamental physical laws. This finding challenges the Standard Model and prompts...

Black Holes Explosions Driven by Hawking Radiation May Unveil New Physics
Primordial black holes, potentially formed shortly after the Big Bang, may be undergoing explosions across the universe, driven by Hawking radiation. Physicists believe that capturing these rare events could reveal undiscovered particles and fundamental physics. Dr. Marco Calzà and Dr. João G. Rosa from the University of Coimbra have proposed way...

Scientists Move Closer to Adding Element 120 to the Periodic Table with New Technique
Scientists are on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery that could expand the periodic table to include element 120. Currently, the periodic table comprises 118 elements, ranging from hydrogen with one proton to oganesson with 118. The quest to explore the frontiers of atomic physics has led researchers to develop a novel technique to create elem...
