Paper examines galaxy rotation curve data without dark matter in a quest to describe modified laws of acceleration and gravity. Novel approach may help lead to an explanation of the Pioneer 10 - 11 spacecraft anomaly.
In the drive to understand and harness quantum effects as they relate to information processing, scientists in Waterloo and Massachusetts have benchmarked quantum control methods on a 12-Qubit system. Their research was performed on the largest quantum information processor to date.
A team of researchers from Perimeter Institute, Cambridge University, and Texas A&M has for the first time estimated, from mathematical symmetry arguments, the size of a fundamental imbalance pervading the subatomic world.
Einstein鈥檚 theory of relativity combines space and time into a unified notion. Twistor theory goes beyond this and examines paths taken by light and other particles without mass 鈥 in an attempt to understand our universe at a deeper level, including the foundations of quantum physics.
At 2 pm ET on June 9th, 2011 鈥 following four days of closed-door working sessions and over a dozen public events 鈥 the Equinox Summit: Energy 2030 will conclude with the presentation of its major outcomes.
This presentation, known as the Equinox Communiqu茅, will summarize the results of the private working sessions involving pioneering scientific experts, next-generation leaders from around the globe, and seasoned advisors from science, engineering, public policy, and industry.
A strange thing about black holes: they shine. The current issue of Science features a new paper by the Event Horizon telescope team 鈥 a collaboration that includes Avery Broderick, Associate Faculty at Perimeter Institute.
Forget solid, liquid, and gas: there are in fact more than 500 phases of matter. In a major paper in today鈥檚 issue of Science, Perimeter Faculty member Xiao-Gang Wen reveals a modern reclassification of all of them.
A team of physicists from Perimeter Institute, the University of Waterloo, and Harvard has reached a key milestone in the pursuit of next-generation superconductors.
Physicists are using surprising ideas and mathematical tools originating in string theory to guide research into strange materials that are cropping up in condensed matter laboratories.
