A team led by physicist Dr Johannes Gooth at IBM Research in Switzerland have found evidence of an axial–gravitational anomaly in a laboratory crystal This exotic effect in particle physics was initially thought to only occur in immense gravitational fields — a black hole or in conditions like those after the Big Bang The team used niobium phosphide crystals to analyze how spacetime curvature affects subatomic particles called Weyl Fermions “For the first time we have experimentally observed this fundamental quantum anomaly on Earth which is extremely important towards our understanding of the universe” said Dr Johannes Gooth But how are we going to hide this from Thanos? 📷 Robert Strasser Kees Scherer Michael Büker physics bigbang science Meme
