The singularity has been defined as that point where technology, driven primarily by AI, will surpass human intelligence so that, effectively, humans will no longer understand what is happening around ...

In 1965, British mathematician Roger Penrose proposed the cosmic censorship conjecture, a concept that suggests that singularities — regions where gravity is so strong that the fabric of spacetime ...

Figure 1：Magnetic-field-driven superconductor-metal phase transition with multiple quantum critical points in CaFe 1-x Ni x AsF. Exploration of exotic quantum phase transitions has always been a focus ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

At the center of each classical black hole is a paradox: a singularity, where gravity is infinite and the laws of physics break down. But a new theoretical breakthrough says such cosmic dead ends aren ...

Quantum gravity remains one of the big missing pieces of a Grand Unified Theory that could bridge quantum field theory and general relativity. Knowing that quantum gravity solutions must resemble ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center—a point, hidden behind the event ...

A team of researchers have significantly advanced our understanding of quantum black holes and their properties. Their new mathematical model provides evidence that when quantum matter is taken into ...

Quantum computers could solve some of the world's most challenging problems, but only if we can make them big enough. A new modular design for quantum chips could make building large-scale quantum ...

A quantum internet would essentially be unhackable. In the future, sensitive information—financial or national security data, for instance, as opposed to memes and cat pictures—would travel through ...

Diamond color centers are a well researched field, but using them at scale as qubits was out of reach until recently. Their ...
