- Physicists recreate black hole energy extraction in the lab
Physicists have recreated the process of extracting energy from a spinning black hole in a laboratory setting using a stationary device that generates synthetic ultrafast rotation. This experiment validates a theoretical concept and may lead to advancements in optics, wireless communications, and quantum science.
- Caltech Dedicates New State-of-the-Art Quantum Precision Measurement Lab Today
Caltech is dedicating the Allen and Charlotte Ginsburg Center for Quantum Precision Measurement, a four-story building with subterranean labs designed to minimize environmental interference. The facility will support research in quantum science, quantum information, and gravitational-wave detection, located near the Linde Hall of Mathematics and Physics.
- NSF awards record number of coveted PhD fellowships in surprise move
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a record number of PhD fellowships in a surprise move, with quantum science and AI research benefiting significantly. This follows a previous 50% reduction in Graduate Research Fellowship Program awards by the NSF a year earlier.
