Particle physicists discover strongest ever evidence of dark matter
2013-04-18 20:41:19| Extremetech
Half a mile underground, in a disused mine in Minnesota, researchers have discovered the first ever tantalizing hints of dark matter -- a form of matter that is theorized to make up almost all of the matter in the universe, but which has -- until now -- led a completely hypothetical existence and never been observed.

The researchers can't say for certain that a particle they discovered is the so-called "God particle," but the information they have "strongly indicates" that it is. [Read more]

Chinese physicists measure speed of Einsteins spooky action at a distance: At least 10,000 times faster than light
2013-03-07 12:31:00| Extremetech
A team of Chinese physicists have clocked the speed of spooky action at a distance -- the seemingly instantaneous interaction between entangled quantum particles -- at more than four orders of magnitude faster than light. They decline to give an exact speed, but four orders of magnitude puts the figure at around 3 trillion meters per second.

Researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park and Towson University are reporting that they have created multiple universes inside a laboratory-created multiverse -- a world first.
Chinese physicists create illusory, ghost invisibility cloak
2013-01-22 13:49:04| Extremetech
Chinese physicists have created a "ghost" invisibility cloak -- a cloak that changes the appearance of an object so that it looks like something else. In theory, you could cover a soldier with this cloak and make it look like something else -- a cactus perhaps, or a dog.
