Multiverse Hypothesis in the Realm of Testable Science

Never mind the big bang; in the beginning was the vacuum. The vacuum simmered with energy (variously called dark energy, vacuum energy, the inflation field, or the Higgs field). Like water in a pot, this high energy began to evaporate – bubbles formed.

Comet ISON May Have Run Out of Steam Before Perihelion

On November 28th of last year, thousands of people worldwide watched comet ISON’s fiery ride past the Sun. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) have now reconstructed the comet’s activity during its final hours. Their conclusion: already hours before its perhelion passage, ISON stopped emitting dust and gas into space.

Antimatter Streams Through SLAC Linear Accelerator

Following an absence of six years, beams of positrons – the antimatter twins of electrons – are once more streaming through the linear accelerator to waiting experiments at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

Pancakes' of Ultracold Atoms Trapped Between Mirrors Investigate Dicke Model of Atom-Light Interaction

With atoms and light, CQT researchers have built a 'simulator' of atom-light interactions. As circular as it sounds, the approach creates a promising new playground for testing theoretical ideas.
