FAST Discovers Three New Mysterious Radio Flashes

Fast radio burst (FRB) is a kind of mysterious radio flashes lasting only a few thousandths of a second. Confirmed to be the cosmological origin in 2016, FRB has the potential to provide insights into a wide range of astrophysical problems.

Frontera Supercomputer Enables the Discovery of High-Energy Electron Antineutrino

The idea was so far-fetched it seemed like science fiction: create an observatory out of a one cubic kilometer block of ice in Antarctica to track ghostly particles called neutrinos that pass through the Earth. But speaking to Benedickt Riedel, global computing manager at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, it makes perfect sense.

Researchers Measure the Smallest Gravitational Force

Using a highly sensitive pendulum, scientists have successfully determined the gravitational field of a gold sphere, measuring only 2 mm in diameter, and thus, the smallest gravitational force to date.

Detection of Antineutrinos Confirms Standard Model of Particle Physics

On December 6th, 2016, a high-energy particle charged toward the planet Earth from outer space at almost the speed of light.

Research Breaks the Warp Barrier for Faster-than-Light Travel

If travel to distant stars within an individual's lifetime is going to be possible, a means of faster-than-light propulsion will have to be found. To date, even recent research about superluminal (faster-than-light) transport based on Einstein's theory of general relativity would require vast amounts of hypothetical particles and states of matter that have "exotic" physical properties such as negative energy density.
