If our universe were in this false vacuum state, researchers fret that a strange chain reaction could trigger what’s called a ...

Researchers have simulated "false vacuum decay," a theoretical quantum process often called the "bubble of doom" that could ...

Physicists in China have simulated false vacuum decay — a theoretical quantum event that could abruptly end the universe — using a ring of highly excited Rydberg atoms. The tabletop experiment ...

A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped ...

Physicists in China have recreated a laboratory-scale simulation of 'false vacuum decay,' a hypothetical quantum event that could theoretically end the universe. Using a ring of highly excited Rydberg ...
