It has been written about before, over and over again, but cannot be emphasized enough. The world of quantum physics is an eerie one, one that sheds light on the truth about our world in ways that challenge the existing framework of accepted knowledge. What we perceive as our physical material world, is really not physical or material at all, in fact, it is far from it. This has been proven time and time again by multiple Nobel Prize (among many other scientists around the world) winning physicists, one of them being Niels Bohr, a Danish Physicist who made significant contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory. “If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet.  Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.”  –  Niels Bohr  At the turn of the nineteenth century, physicists started to explore the relationship between energy and the structure of matter. In doing so, the belief th...

by  National University of Singapore This image shows that when the setup is rotated at 0.5 rpm, the experimental system on the left shows the hottest (white) part of the ring is fixed at the bottom after several seconds of motion. The reference on the right shows the hottest part of the ring has moved further round the ring in conjunction with its motio A ground-breaking study conducted by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has revealed a method of using quantum mechanical wave theories to "lock" heat into a fixed position. Ordinarily, a source of  heat  diffuses through a conductive material until it dissipates, but Associate Professor Cheng-Wei Qiu from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the NUS Faculty of Engineering and his team used the principle of anti-parity-time (APT) symmetry to show that it is possible to confine the heat to a small region of a metal ring without it spreading over time. In the future, this newly d...
