For a long time, physicists have held the belief that ‘the universe will end with an icy sputter known as “heat death”.’ This is the phenomenon when ‘the universe finally uses up all its energy, with all motion stopping and all the atoms in creation grinding to a halt.’ Now, a group of Australian physicists [...]

The plot is action-suspense formula: some stolen antimatter from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider and a threat to use that antimatter to blow up the Vatican during Conclave, by the Illuminati or some scientists driven underground during the 17th century and who are now going to make the Vatican pay by killing thousands of innocent people.

Medical practitioners have been aware of the placebo effect for decades now. Some administer it. Still some attempt to explain it as a biochemical effect. However, no one knows exactly what it is and how it comes about.
Cosmologists wrack their brains over an explanation to the horizon problem. Some come up with this explanation of [...]

Physicists, being what they are, refuse to acknowledge the connection at molecular level between emotional and psychological states and physical state. The concept known as ‘quantum entanglement’ just doesn’t fly with scientists who say that the ‘relationship is purely correlational and not causal.’ 
The concept of ‘quantum entanglement’ rests on the premise that people in close [...]

All through the days of high school drudgery, we have studied about the three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Apparently, there is a fourth state of matter and it could help building microchips in a grand way. Researchers at the University of McGill have discovered the quasi-three-dimensional electron crystal, which could be used [...]
