Update (24 March 2021): Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCB) is still insisting that there are no flaws in our best model of particle physics. As explained below, previous results comparing the standard M from Dale’s expected collision data created a bizarre discrepancy by almost standard deviations, but we need a …

For decades, we have dreamed of visiting other star systems. There’s only one problem – it’s so far away from a conventional spaceflight, it would take thousands of years to reach even the nearest one. Physicists are not the kind of people who leave easily. Give them an impossible dream, …

By interacting in a limited space, a swarm of ‘smarts’ can create spontaneous choreography.Image: Courtesy Thomas Barutta In January 2020, the second-floor laboratory at Northwestern University was filled with light-running cloaking of three pushing robots. Around each other. The three were in a small ring colliding with each other, although …

For a while, physicists have been searching for ancient black holes, foreign objects that could form at the beginning of the universe and stimulate the entire range of Shenanigan in the universe. Physicists from the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Kavali Institute for Physics and Mathematics in Japan …

Imagine opening the paper of the week for Sudoku and looking for puzzle pages. You’ll spend your mornings dealing with this logic puzzle, only to realize from the last few squares that there’s no consistent way to finish it. You think, “I must have made a mistake.” So you try …
