Physicists make record-breaking 'quantum vortex' to study the mysteries of black holes
Physicists created a 'quantum vortex,' which flows with 500 times less viscosity than water and could be used to study the space-time warping caused by black holes.
Rare 'super-diamonds' may already exist on other planets, and could be made on Earth, study hints
A simulated form of carbon called BC8, or 'super-diamond', could be 30% tougher than normal diamonds, but synthesizing it on Earth won't be easy.
'Emergent gravity' could force us to rewrite the laws of physics
The idea of emergent gravity is still new and requires a lot of assumptions in its calculations to make it work. But if experimental evidence ever proves it real, we would need to totally rewrite the laws of physics.
