Thoughts on Artificial Intelligence and the origin of life resulting from general relativity

Written by

NONLINEAR TIME AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and related subjects are all truly fascinating topics. As I will argue in this essay, they’re all parts of an overarching […]

Unifying quantum mechanics with Einstein’s general relativity

Written by

The quantum nature of gravity is an enigma which has eluded even the brightest of physicists for many decades. Now, Dr Norma G. Sanchez at the French CNRS LERMA Observatory […]

Retrocausality: How backwards-in-time effects could explain quantum weirdness

Written by

Since the earliest days of quantum theory, physicists have struggled to reconcile the apparently nonlocal, faster-than-light interactions demanded by quantum mechanics with the strict laws of relativity. Dr Rod Sutherland […]

What can Occam’s razor principle tell us about theories of dark matter?

Written by

Today, physicists have devised dozens of theories to explain the nature of dark matter. So far, however, not one of them has gained concrete proof through experiments. To narrow these […]

How geometry expresses the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Written by

Physicists have long struggled to explain how the inevitable increase in the universe’s entropy can be reconciled with the reversible laws of quantum mechanics. Now, Professor Chris Jeynes at the […]

A solution to dark matter: New evidence for hydrogen’s second flavour

Written by

Following on from his previous research, Professor Eugene Oks at Auburn University, Alabama, presents even further evidence that an explanation for dark matter could lie with a ‘second flavour’ of […]

Interferometry with antimatter

Written by

For nearly a century, physicists have struggled to understand why the universe contains so much more matter than antimatter. In a new experiment, Dr Marco Giammarchi and colleagues at the […]

Maths and honeycombs: Searching for the materials of the future

Written by

The nanotechnology revolution is fuelled by the versatility of nanomaterials. Changing a nanomaterial’s composition and structure alters its properties, rendering nanomaterials tailor-made for specific applications. Mathematical modelling guides researchers towards […]

Seizing control over quantum systems through measurement

Written by

Thanks to the deep complexities of quantum mechanics, physicists have so far faced serious difficulties in establishing control over quantum systems. In his research, Dr Arjendu Pattanayak at Carleton College […]

Ultrafast electron microscopy Reinventing femtosecond atomic-scale imaging

Written by

Transmission electron microscopy may have brought about some of the most cutting-edge research into materials physics, but the technique doesn’t come without its limitations. In his research, Dr Jinfeng Yang at Osaka […]
