New Experiment Reveals Existence of Event Horizons Around Black Holes

Astronomers at The University of Texas at Austin and Harvard University have put a basic principle of black holes to the test, showing that matter completely vanishes when pulled in. Their results constitute another successful test for Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

Quantum Superposition Plays Vital Role in Testing the Security of a Communication Link

Quantum physics ensures that a message has not been intercepted before reaching its destination. This is possible because of the laws of quantum physics, which highlights that a particle of light, such as a photon, can simultaneously be in two distinct states, comparable to a coin that is tossed in air, which is practically both tail and head before reaching the ground.
