Germany Physicists Achieve Most Precise Proton Width Measurement, Strengthening the Standard Model A Landmark Test of Quantum Electrodynamics In a landmark breakthrough for fundamental physics , physicists in Germany have completed the most precise measurement yet of the proton's width, marking a significant milestone in modern science. By analyzing a previously unexamined energy-level transition within the hydrogen atom, Lothar Maisenbacher and his team at the Max Institute of Quantum Optics have reinforced the resilience of the Standard Model under exceptionally rigorous testing. Their findings further narrow the space available for competing theories that challenge our most reliable framework for explaining the behaviour of the universe. The study has been published in Nature . Understanding Quantum Electrodynamics and the Standard Model Quantum electrodynamics , widely known as QED, remains the most accomplished framework for explaining interactions between light and matter...

Silicon Quantum Breakthrough: New Error Detection Method Preserves Entanglement in Qubits A New Generation of Quantum Machines Quantum computers represent a new generation of computing technology that harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to process information. Unlike conventional machines, they exploit phenomena such as particle entanglement   —  a remarkable connection that binds particles together so closely that measuring one instantly influences the other, regardless of the distance separating them. In theory, quantum machines have the potential to surpass classical computers in tackling complex optimization and computational challenges. Yet they remain extraordinarily delicate. Even minor environmental interference, commonly, referred to as noise , can introduce quantum errors and compromise the integrity of calculations.

China's 2026-2030 Space Roadmap: Mining Ice, Fueling Rockets, Shaping Global Rules China's 2026-30 space plan marks a major shift in the global space race , placing bold emphasis on space mining, orbital data centers and expanded space tourism ambitions . Central Planning Meets Space Strategy: A New Era for 2026-2030 Central planning has long stood at the heart of communist governance. At five-year intervals, state authorities set out national objectives, mapping priorities that may range from reducing infant mortality to boosting crop production. China, the world's largest communist-run  state, has now unveiled its fifteenth five-year plan, outlining its ambitions for 2026-2030. Accompanied by a statement from the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) , the strategy places striking emphasis on the expansion of the country's space capabilities. Among the most culturally resonant elements of the announcement is the Tiangong Kaiwu initiative   —  a s...

Time Crystals Could Transform the Future of Quantum Clocks Time crystals could form the backbone of extraordinarily precise quantum clocks , according to a new mathematical study published in Physical Review Letters, the research, led by Ludmila Viotti at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics , suggests these unusual systems may outperform conventional clock designs that depend on external stimulation to maintain steady oscillations. What Makes Time Crystals Unique? In physics, a crystal is defined as any system exhibiting a repeating microscopic pattern. Traditional crystals repeat their structure across space. Time crystals , however, display a pattern that repeats in time rather than space. First demonstrated experimentally in 2016, these exotic phases of matter have since become the focus of intense investigation as scientists explore their practical potential.

US Scientists Achieve First Dissipationless Fractional Chern Insulator, Opening New Era for Quantum Devices A team of researchers in the United States has revealed a device capable of carrying electrical current along its fractionally charged edges without wasting energy as heat. Reported in Nature Physics , the breakthrough — led by Xiaodong Xu at the University of Washington — represents the first experimental realization of a dissipationless fractional Chern insulator , a long-theorized state of matter with major potential for next-generation quantum technologies . Understanding the Quantum Hall Effect The quantum Hall effect arises when electrons are confined within a two-dimensional material , cooled to near absolute zero and subjected to intense magnetic fields . As in the classical Hall effect, a voltage forms at right angles to the flow of current — but in this quantum version, the voltage increases in precise, quantized steps . Fractional Quantum Hall Effect and Collectiv...

Can Artificial Intelligence Solve Real Mathematical Research Problems? Scientists Put AI to the Test Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly common tool in mathematics , mirroring trends across the wider scientific community . Although mathematics underpins AI development, mathematicians are also using these systems for tasks such as scanning academic literature and spotting errors in draft papers. But their real interest lies in a more demanding test: can AI solve authentic, high-level research problems? Related science and AI coverage: Artificial intelligence and scientific research Human health Awareness Reports The Challenge of Measuring AI's Mathematical Ability Until now, there has been no agreed framework for realistically assessing AI's performance in advanced mathematics. In response, a group of mathematicians set out to evaluate these capabilities in a new study released on the arXiv preprint platform. What sets this work apart is the nature of t...
