The largest particle accelerator in the world was restarted after three years of modifications and maintenance, and it quickly made its first observations of three exotic particles. Now operational, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is shattering r…
When his parents first enrolled Jacob Barnett in school they were told to forget it and that their son would never be able to learn anything in school. Naturally concerned they took him to a doctor where they were told that he has a form of autism cal…
Quantum entanglement, a decidedly weird effect influencing the realm of the incredibly small, may apply to the “real world” but that does not mean it is easy to see. After all, we are talking about individual pairs of particles here. Two new papers, b…

Okay, here's the thing. There is no fourth dimension. Mind not blown by that? How about this - there is no third dimension either. Before you start yelling at your smartphone about how the Universe is made up of three dimensions, just settle down …

If you've read anything about quantum computers, you may have encountered the statement, "It's like computing with zero and one at the same time." That's sort of true, but what makes quantum computers exciting is something spooki…
