Exploration of exotic quantum phase transitions has always been a focus in condensed matter physics. Critical phenomena in a phase transition are entirely determined by the universality class, which ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center—a point, hidden behind the event ...

Can we do away with the troublesome singularity at the heart of black holes? A new paper in JCAP reimagines these extreme objects in light of current knowledge. “Hic sunt leones,” remarks Stefano ...

Over at the Physics And Cake blog, there’s a great discussion of exactly how machines will replace theoretical physicists, with their only goal being to create a perfect model of the universe, and no ...

Black holes are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, even light, can escape. Einstein's theory of general relativity breaks down inside black holes, either by the presence of a so ...

Reports of the singularity's demise may have been premature. Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that "singularities ...

Black holes are regions of infinite density, known as a singularity. And according to mainstream physics, each of these cosmic matter munchers is fringed by an event horizon –- a boundary where once ...

Figure 1：Magnetic-field-driven superconductor-metal phase transition with multiple quantum critical points in CaFe 1-x Ni x AsF. Exploration of exotic quantum phase transitions has always been a focus ...
