Scientists say graphene just did something that shouldn’t happen, electrons flowing like a near-frictionless liquid and breaking basic physics rules

Scientists observed electrons in graphene flowing like a nearly frictionless liquid in new studies. The discovery breaks the classic Ohmic and Wiedemann-Franz principles on electrical resistance and heat flow. This breakthrough could lead to chips that barely overheat and power grids with almost zero energy loss. Physics folks are calling it a shock because they’re …

Scientists may be approaching a ‘fundamental breakthrough in cosmology and particle physics’ — if dark matter and ‘ghost particle

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a “fundamental breakthrough” that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved. Two of the universe’s most mysterious particles may be colliding invisibly throughout the cosmos — a discovery that could solve one of the biggest lingering problems in our standard model of …

Gerard ’t Hooft says quantum physics is on the wrong track

“Are you optimistic, then, that this situation will change, and we’ll see a resurgence in big particle physics discoveries? That’s a very good question because it looks as if there’s nothing we can do. If the situation proceeds in such a way that every new breakthrough requires a 10-fold, or even larger, increase in the …

Superconductor Breakthrough: Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of our lifetimes.

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives. — Alex Kaplan (@alexkaplan0) July 26, 2023 1. 100 billion kWh of electricity are wasted on transmission losses each year in …
