First-of-a-Kind Experiments Demonstrate Effects of Einstein’s Gravity in the Quantum World

An international research team has announced the first-ever successful observation of gravity’s effect on a falling quantum object, demonstrating a connection between gravity and the quantum world first predicted by Albert Einstein. The research team said the result does not unify quantum mechanics and gravity, nor does it prove that gravity is a quantum phenomenon….

World’s Most Sensitive Dark Matter Detector Just Found Something Scientists Can’t Easily Explain

Dark matter may finally be coming into focus thanks to a recent LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment, which detected a particle interaction that is difficult to explain as arising from ordinary matter. Physicists believe that 85% of the matter in the universe is dark matter rather than ordinary matter, but because it neither emits nor reflects light, the…

New Analysis of “Tasmanian Tiger” Skulls Overturns Assumptions About What Led to the Species’ Extinction

Australia’s extinct thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger, was not the powerful predator European settlers had assumed based on experiences with the dogs and wolves of their homeland, scientists say. In a recent study of the skull of this creature, famously hunted to extinction, researchers from Flinders University and the University of Melbourne found…

900-Year-Old DNA Reveals Cacao Reached Ancient Georgia, Rewriting Chocolate’s History in North America

Nine centuries ago, people gathered at what is today recognized as the Etowah Indian Mounds site, located roughly 40 miles northwest of Atlanta, Georgia, for enormous community feasts. They ate, drank, and eventually discarded broken pottery into pits that would become part of the foundations of the ancient city’s first monumental mound. Now, traces hidden…

Scientists Discover Ancient Pottery Contains a Magnetic “Clock” That Can Reveal Its Past

New research suggests ancient pottery may contain a magnetic “clock,” providing researchers with a lasting record of how long ago ceramic artifacts were created.  According to scientists at the University of California, San Diego, the newly-developed method allows this lingering magnetic signal to help distinguish genuinely ancient clay artifacts from modern forgeries. In experiments, clay…
