MIT demonstrates new magnetic state with quantum spin liquids
- A team of MIT researchers claim they can experimentally demonstrate the effects of a long-theoretical, third state of magnetism using materials known as quantum spin liquids. The magnetic field produced by QSL closely mimics that of a true liquid in…
Physicists may prove we exist in a computer simulation
- Have you ever considered the possibility that we may all live in a holographic universe constructed by vastly superior beings? I know -- it sounds like the basis for good science fiction (The Matrix, anyone?), but Nick Bostrom famously hypothesized (pdf)…
CERN says newly discovered particle is consistent with Higgs boson
- Scientists announced today that the Higgs boson -- or a new subatomic particle like it -- appears to indeed be real. The hunt for the Higgs boson has been an intense one, for its absence could have single-handedly destroyed whatever…
IBM makes huge stride toward developing scalable quantum computer
- At the American Physical Society in Boston, IBM will be announcing further progress in creating a practical, working quantum processor. Big Blue said it has managed to increase the longevity of information provided by quantum bits, a crucial hurdle that…
Physicists set world record with 186Gbps network transfer
- Scientists at Caltech managed to squeeze 186Gbps of data through a fiber optic network link between Victoria, B.C and Seattle, WA. This achievement marks the highest speed transfer ever over a long-range network, breaking the previous record of 119Gbps which…
