How the Higgs boson destroyed Peter Higgs’ life

Ten years ago, scientists announced one of the most momentous discoveries in physics: the Higgs boson† The particle, predicted 48 years earlier, was the missing piece in the Standard Model of particle physics. The machine built in part to find this particle, the 17-mile-long, circular Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva, had delivered …

Acoustic levitation breakthrough after scientists create self-correcting levitation device

It is not easy to make a levitation device that can withstand breakdowns. Image Credit: Scientific Progress (2022). DOI: 10.1126/sciaadv.abn7614 The idea has been suggested before to use sound waves to make objects float. Research confirmed it, but as you might expect, this requires a direct path of waves to the object – interrupt them …

Scientists develop quantum processor to mimic a small organic molecule

Principal Investigator and Former Australian of the Year, Scientia Professor Michelle Simmons. Credit: SQC A team of quantum computer physicists at UNSW Sydney has developed an atomic-scale quantum processor to simulate the behavior of a small organic molecule, solving a challenge posed some 60 years ago by theoretical physicist Richard Feynman. The achievement, which came …

Gravitational wave radar can explore deep space for small stellar objects | Science

Theoretical physicists have found a new way to test Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity or general relativity and — just maybe — to explore the distant universe for small, elusive objects. Gravitational Wavesripples in space created when massive objects such as black holes whirl and collide —should bounce off other massive objects to produce echoes …
