The universe speaks to us in the form of numbers, and appears to us in myriad ways that we have yet to fully discover and understand. Modern Sciences pushes forward into modern-day discussion the different lenses through which we view the universe, and the language we use to commune with it—from beautiful patterns and equations brought forth by the best mathematicians to the latest discoveries that unravel the inner workings of our physical realm.
CERN Scientists Achieve ‘Gold Creation’ in Latest Particle Collision Experiment
CERN scientists have briefly turned lead into gold by smashing nuclei at near-light speed, offering new insights into nuclear physics rather than alchemical riches.
Study Reveals Universe’s End Could Come ‘Sooner Than Expected,’ as Cosmic Objects Decay Faster
A new study shows that white dwarfs and neutron stars may evaporate far sooner than once, reshaping predictions about how and when the universe will end.
Glitter’s sparkle hides a darker side – it can change the chemistry of our oceans
Juan Diego Rodriguez-Blanco, Trinity College Dublin and Kristina Petra Zubovic, Trinity College Dublin Glitter is festive and fun…
New Quantum Theory Could Bridge Gap Between Gravity and Particle Physics
A new quantum theory of gravity aims to unify Einstein’s relativity with particle physics, potentially bridging the gap between the universe’s biggest and smallest forces.
Some ‘Star Wars’ stories have already become reality
Tatooine’s moisture farming equipment stands in the desert of Tunisia, where parts of the ‘Star Wars’ movie series…
New Mathematical Method Solves Centuries-Old Problem of Higher-Degree Polynomial Equations
Mathematicians have unveiled a radical new method for solving fifth-degree polynomial equations—cracking a problem once thought unsolvable without complex or irrational numbers.
Study Links Toxic Chemicals in Climbing Shoes to Air Pollution in Gyms
A new study finds that rubber from climbing shoes releases toxic chemicals into gym air—reaching pollution levels seen on city streets and raising concerns about indoor air quality.
Why Matter Exists: LHC Uncovers New Clue in the Antimatter Mystery
A breakthrough at the Large Hadron Collider reveals that matter and antimatter baryons decay differently, offering a vital clue to why the universe exists.
Quantum Search, Debunked: The Truth Behind Grover’s Algorithm
Grover’s algorithm does not let quantum computers check every answer at once—instead, it offers a clever geometric shortcut that speeds up searches by a square root factor.
Scientists Confirm 67-Year-Old Theory, Show Carbenes Can Exist in Water
Scientists have confirmed a 67-year-old theory by showing that once thought too unstable, carbenes can exist in water, unlocking greener paths for chemical and pharmaceutical processes.
