Akin to throwing a pebble into a pond with no splash, this theory could have many apps from explaining dark matter to combating energy losses in future technologies. It appears to contradict a fundamental tenet of electrodynamics, that accelerated charges create electromagnetic radiation, said Dr Miroshnichenko, ANU. “This problem has puzzled many people. It took us a year to get this concept clear in our heads.”

The fundamental new theory could be used in quantum computers, lead to new laser technology and may even hold the key to understanding how matter itself hangs together...
