LHC experiments observe quantum entanglement in top quarks at the highest energies ever
Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have successfully observed quantum entanglement between top quarks for the first time. This discovery confirms that the "spooky action at a distance"...
Physics equations pattern suggests a simple meta-law
A team of physicists says there is a simple pattern in many physics equations. They call it a “meta-law,” which means a rule that many other laws follow. If true, this physics equations pattern...
Physical laws may share a universal mathematical grammar
A new preprint suggests that physical laws might share a universal mathematical grammar. The authors counted the basic parts of many known equations. They found a simple pattern that repeats. If...
Learn new things all the time = your brain works like it’s 30 years younger
Scientists have identified methods to help older adults maintain cognitive function akin to that of a much younger brain. Strategies include cognitive training exercises, physical activity, and...
Most of humanity’s day is spent on ourselves
Scientists analyzed time-use surveys from more than 140 countries, covering about 87% of the world’s population, to build an “average global human day”. They found that roughly 9 of our 24 hours are...
NASA zodiac controversy: no, NASA didn’t change the zodiac
