Physicists Float a New Theory of Levitation

Frictionless parts could fly through the air with the greatest of ease

(Newser) – Two Scottish physics professors have published a report on forces of attraction that could be used to make objects levitate, writes the Telegraph. They've engineered a way to reverse the Casimir force, which normally causes elements to stick together. The discovery may lead to frictionless... Read full story »

Scientists Set Record for Ultra-Fast WiFi

'T-rays' provide speeds 20 times faster

(NEWSER) - Japanese scientists have set a whopping record for wireless data speeds—20 times faster than typical WiFi—by using an unconventional part of the electromagnetic spectrum known as the "T-ray" band. The researchers were able to transmit data at 3 gigabytes per second. "T-ray" technology could eventually lighten the load on lower WiFi frequencies that have become jam-packed by data-hungry consumers, reports BBC . More»

Einstein Safe: Neutrinos Do Not Break Light Speed

New experiment shows particles at identical speed with light

(NEWSER) - Einstein's theory apparently remains untouchable, and flabbergasted theoretical physicists can cease hyperventilating: Neutrinos do not exceed the speed of light, but they do appear to travel at the same speed as light, according to the results of a recent experiment. The new data confirm Einstein's foundational ideas and refute an experiment from last September which showed neutrinos exceeding the speed of light, threatening to turn the world of physics upside down, reports BBC News .

Einstein Wrong? Maybe Just Faulty Wiring

A simple loose cord may explain last year's controversy

(NEWSER) - More evidence that last year's furor over the accuracy of Albert Einstein's work got blown way out of proportion: Physicists believed they'd seen particles traveling faster than light , a phenomenon that would disprove the theory of relativity. But the controversial observations may have been the result of nothing more than a loose wire, experts say. A GPS error may have caused the mistake, says a scientist at CERN, where the initial results were reported. More»

Gravity Doesn't Exist: Physics Prof

String theorist shakes up 300 years of science

(NEWSER) - Anyone who's ever seen a ball drop knows it's obvious that gravity exists—right? Not so fast, says a prominent string theorist who has called into question 300 years of science with a new paper arguing that gravity is merely an illusion. Dutch physicist Erik Verlinde says gravity is not a basic force itself, but rather a sort of "cosmic frill," as the New York Times puts it, which emerges from some deeper force the way stock markets emerge from the decisions of individual investors.

Scientists Pop Bubble Mystery

Ring of daughter bubbles form under some conditions

(NEWSER) - Scientists "playing around in the lab late one night" have burst another scientific mystery: the behavior of popping bubbles. The physicists noticed that when bubbles burst on a liquid surface, they sometimes form a perfect ring of "daughter" bubbles rather than vanish entirely. Each of the daughters then bursts to form an even tinier ring, until the bubbles are so tiny they combine into strong jets that propel aerosol droplets into the atmosphere, BBC reports. More»
