A variation on the theory of quantum gravity – the unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity – could help solve one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology, new research suggests. Scientists have known for almost a century that the universe is expanding. But in recent decades, physicists have discovered that several types of … Read more

For the first time, scientists have magnetized a non-magnetic material at room temperature, creating a quantum property that they say could pave the way for ultra-fast computing. The ‘switchable’ magnetic field could one day be used to store and transmit information. This was something that was previously only possible at ultra-cold temperatures. The results pave … Read more
