A new mathematical model of a wormhole suggests that two black holes can be “cut and pasted.” Cut and paste is an official concept in math, referring to two surfaces that may be transposable. In this ...

The first warp drive design from the early 90s required massive amounts of negative energy, but three decades of honing the math later, scientists have lowered that threshold considerably. Now, a new ...

The quantum world is already full of surprises, but a new discovery has added an entire wing to what scientists call the “quantum zoo.” Using a new kind of laser technique, researchers have uncovered ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...

Noah Heywood dives into the secrets of Stranger Things, from the corners of physical journals to the feasibility of on-screen wormholes.
