Physicists have shown that imaginary numbers may not be fundamentally required in quantum mechanics. Physicists at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), working with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), have revisited a basic feature of quantum mechanics. Their study shows that the theory can be expressed using real numbers rather than relying on imaginary numbers. Quantum […]

Could Invisible Planet Flybys Have Triggered Earth’s Mass Extinctions?
A speculative paper argues that ancient planetary flybys may have helped trigger some of Earth’s mass extinctions. Earth’s history is full of close calls and resets. Life did not move smoothly toward complexity. It survived repeated collapses, including mass extinctions that erased vast numbers of species and changed which branches of life had room to […]
Making the Invisible Visible: $100 Device Detects Cosmic Particles Passing Through You
A pocket-sized particle detector is making cosmic ray physics accessible from classrooms to major experiments. Particles from deep space are passing through the world around you right now. They leave no sound, taste, smell, or sensation, but with the right detector, their arrival can be counted one by one. These particles begin with cosmic rays, […]

Textbooks May Need Rewriting After Researchers Debunk a Core Chemistry Concept
For nearly a century, students have learned the inductive effect the same way. Now, researchers say that explanation may not tell the whole story. For decades, chemistry students have learned the same explanation for how electrons redistribute within molecules. Now, researchers say that lesson may need updating after modern computational analyses challenged one of the […]
