Time: it is constantly lacking and we never have enough. Some say it’s an illusion, others say it flies like an arrow. Well, this arrow of time is a big headache in physics. Why does time have a particular direction? And can such a direction be reversed? A study, published in Scientific Reports, provides an …

A rocky meteoroid that exploded over Canada last year was more extraordinary than it first appeared: it came from the outer solar system, where scientists thought only icy bodies existed. A cavalcade of professional and amateur astronomers took pictures and videos of the meteorites as it exploded over Alberta. Studying this data, the researchers determined …

Nuclear fusion. He’s an integral part of the time-traveling DeLorean in Back to the futureand it allows Doctor Octopus to harness “the power of the sun” in 2004 Spiderman 2 (a movie I’ve watched so many times on VHS that the villain’s feisty origin story was literally seared into my eight-year-old brain). Now, however, the …

2D projection of the cosmic web obtained from a supercomputer simulation. Credit: Dr. Ewald Puchwein and the Sherwood-Relics collaboration Dark matter could be made of ultra-light dark photons that have warmed our universe: this is a new scenario proposed in a study recently published in Physical examination letters. This hypothesis, the authors say, is in …

Comment this story Comment Towards the end of 2020, as the covid-19 pandemic continued to rage, a few climatologists and energy experts made a prediction. They estimated that emissions from fossil fuels – which had just plummeted thanks to the global pandemic – may never again reach the highs of 2019. Perhaps, they speculated, after …
