Why quantum mechanics says the past isn’t real

Why quantum mechanics says the past isn’t real The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we dive into fascinating ideas from around the universe. You can sign up for Lost in Space-Time here. Adolf Hitler died on April 30, 1945. At least, that’s what the official history says. But a handful of historians disputed the evidence and insisted that the Führer escaped war-torn Berlin and lived on somewhere in hiding. Although the latter account is widely dismissed today as a groundless conspiracy theory, no rational historian would doubt that, whatever the disputed evidence, there was at least a “fact of the matter”.

A new crystal makes magnetism twist in surprising ways

Image
A new crystal makes magnetism twist in surprising ways Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating patterns. The effect comes from mixing two nearly identical compounds whose mismatched structures create magnetic tension at the atomic level. These swirling “skyrmion-like” textures are prized for their low-energy behavior and stability. The discovery could help drive advances in data storage, energy-efficient electronics, and quantum computing. Global Energy Awards Nomination link: https://globalenergyawards.org/award-nomination/...

Unexpected oscillation states in magnetic vortices could enable coupling across different physical systems

  Unexpected oscillation states in magnetic vortices could enable coupling across different physical systems Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have uncovered previously unobserved oscillation states—so-called Floquet states—in tiny magnetic vortices. Unlike earlier experiments, which required energy-intensive laser pulses to create such states, the team in Dresden discovered that a subtle excitation with magnetic waves is sufficient.

A 30-Year Physics Mystery Takes a Sharp Turn: This Bizarre Particle Doesn’t Actually Exist

A 30-Year Physics Mystery Takes a Sharp Turn: This Bizarre Particle Doesn’t Actually Exist New results from the MicroBooNE experiment rule out the existence of a sterile neutrino, reshaping how scientists think about long-standing neutrino anomalies. After many years of investigation, researchers working on the Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment (MicroBooNE) have concluded that a proposed particle known as the sterile neutrino does not exist. This particle had been widely discussed as a possible answer to unresolved problems in particle physics. Reporting their findings in the journal Nature, the team has significantly narrowed the list of explanations for one of the most persistent mysteries involving neutrinos. “Neutrinos are elusive fundamental particles that are difficult to detect experimentally, yet are among the most abundant particles in the universe,” said UC Santa Barbara assistant physics professor David Caratelli, who was the physics coordinator for the experiment when this ...

Scientists Made a Flash of Light Disappear Inside a Liquid

Scientists Made a Flash of Light Disappear Inside a Liquid Liquids and solutions may look simple, but on the molecular scale they are constantly shifting and reorganizing. When sugar dissolves in water, each sugar molecule quickly becomes surrounded by fast moving water molecules. Inside living cells, the situation is even more intricate. Tiny liquid droplets transport proteins or RNA and help coordinate many of the cell’s chemical activities. Global Energy Awards Nomination link: https://globalenergyawards.org/award-nomination/...

We might have just seen the first hints of dark matter

We might have just seen the first hints of dark matter An unexplained glow that appears to emanate throughout the Milky Way’s outer regions could be our first hint of what dark matter is made of, but astronomers say it is too early to know for sure. Dark matter is thought to make up 85 per cent of all mass in the universe, but physicists have never been able to detect the particles that constitute it.

Scientists Create a New Crystal That Twists Magnetism Into Exotic Swirls Researchers at Florida State University have engineered a new crystalline material whose atoms organize into unusually complex magnetic patterns. By combining chemically similar materials with competing crystal structures, the team triggered subtle instabilities that gave rise to swirling spin textures linked to emerging data storage and quantum technologies.
