Scientists Edge Closer to Unveiling the Universe’s Secrets
Chasing the Unknown: Why the Universe Still Surprises Us When scientists look up at the night sky, they are studying a tapestry that is only partly visible. Dark matter and dark energy together constitute about 95% of the cosmos, meaning the familiar atoms and molecules we encounter daily make up a small fraction of the…

Does Quantum Gravity Exist? New Experiment Deepens the Mystery
Introduction: A Bold Claim in a Long-Standing Debate For decades, physicists have wrestled with the idea of quantum gravity—the hypothetical theory that harmonizes the rules of quantum mechanics with general relativity. A controversial new experiment from two London-based physicists proposes a startling twist: gravitational fields might enable matter to become quantum entangled even if the…

First-Ever Probe Inside a Molecule’s Nucleus with Electrons Reveals Magnetic Map of a Radioactive Core
Groundbreaking Experiment Sheds Light on Nuclear Magnetism In a landmark achievement, physicists have peer inside the nucleus of a molecule using electrons as a probe—a feat previously thought nearly impossible. By guiding high-energy electrons through a rare molecule, researchers mapped how magnetism is distributed within a radioactive nucleus, offering a new window into the heart…
