Flash frozen silicon reveals patterns mirroring early universe dynamics
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jul 24, 2025 A team of physicists from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), University of Duisburg-Essen, and University of Alberta has discovered that ultra-fast cooling of silicon surfaces produces structural patterns that echo the cosmic phase transitions theorized to have occurred shortly after the Big Bang. Their study shows that the rate at which silicon cools drastically influences how atoms arrange on its surface, potentially enabling better control over silicon crystal growth in applications like se ... read more |

What if the Big Bang wasn't the beginning? Our research suggests it may have taken place inside a black holePortsmouth UK (SPX) Jun 17, 2025 The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe - a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if o ... more

Out of the string theory swampland
Paris, France (SPX) Jun 11, 2025 String theory has long been touted as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the universe, with elementary particles and forces described as vibrations of tiny threads of energy. But in the early 21st century, it was realized that most of the versions of reality described by string theory's equations cannot match up with observations of our own universe. In particular, conventional string theory's predictions are incompatible with the observation of dark energy, which appear ... read more
Physicists observe a new form of magnetism for the first timeBoston MA (SPX) Jun 11, 2025 MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry "spintronic" memory chips. The new magnetic state is a m ... more |
