Technion Israel Institute of Technology researchers have developed a theoretical model of a time machine that, in the distant future, could possibly enable future generations to travel into the past. An article on this research was published last week in the scientific journal Physical Review.
By tweaking Einstein’s space time and general relativity models these […]

A recent Engadget article suggests that a team of Australian physicists have come up with a simple-sounding method of teleporting atoms by bringing the matter to near absolute zero temperatures. This doesn’t seem feasible for humans yet but maybe it could be for non-living matter (supplies, goods, etc) in the near future!
Man was Gene […]
A team from MIT call their invention ‘WiTricity’ and believe it could change the way we use electricity and do away with the tangle of cables, plugs and chargers that clutter modern homes.
I predicted that this technology could be feasible one day when I was doing my bachelor’s in electrical engineering back in the 90’s. […]
Using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope and transit analysis in the infrared spectrum, a gas giant of the size of Jupiter has spectral properties which scientists conclusively confirmed that water vapour exists in the sphere. Although the chance of life as we know it on the planet is improbable as the orbit is very close to […]
Howard Georgi, a physicist at Harvard University, has recently published a paper on so-called unparticle physics, which suggests the existence of “unparticle stuff” that cannot be accounted for by the standard model. Appearing in a recent edition of Physical Review Letters, the paper says that unparticle stuff would be very different than anything seen […]
In Spain’s Canary Island chain, researchers from all over Europe generated a polarization-entagled photon pair with the twin sent over an optical free-space link to Tenerife about 144 kilometers (90 mi) away where the Ground Station of the European Space Agency acted as a receiver. Previously 13km was the record on similar experiments.

With the vast number of physicists attempting to prove String and M-Theory, there are a few who believe the reason why those two theories will prove elusive to confirm is because there are possibly more than one dimensions related to Time. So you’re probably thinking that this is way out there, and I do agree. […]
US Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have been observing a star cluster CL0024+17 which is approximately 5 billion light years from Earth and running repeaded simulations to show that the observations yield the best proof to date of the existance of dark matter. Dark matter, a mysterious substance believed to make up more […]
String Theory has been the dream of many post-Einstien scientists and theoretical physicists to try to combine Einstein’s world of the large (planets, galaxies, the universe) with the ideas of the quantum world of the small (uncertainty principle, subatomic particles) into one unifying law that can describe absolutely everything that we see and even things […]
Extensive computer simulation and real tests have been underway at the Sandia National Laboratories on the device called the ‘Z Machine’ which is the world largest producer of man-made X Rays and has been used to produce fusion neutrons. Rapid bursts (in the nano second range) are necessary for future generating plants to produce electrical […]
