The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

Vijay Balasubramanian (University of Pennsylvania) emphasised that the challenge is not only reproducing the familiar area law – which links entropy to the area of the event horizon – but also ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ), Garching, in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Randolf Pohl from the Institute for Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), ...

Michael S Turner argues that the next breakthrough in particle physics and cosmology may be just around the corner.

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Physicists are scrambling to understand why dark energy is weakening. In a surprising twist, we must now reconsider the ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have confirmed the existence of a massless particle, long theorized ...

What would you do if you had £60 million to play with? Some people would invest it. Many would buy a bigger house. A few would go on a spending spree. Me, I’d try to change the way the world does ...

An experiment with rats under anesthesia showed researchers that tiny structures your brain are responsible for the experience of consciousness. This is a major step toward verifying a theory that our ...

The conceptual architecture of black holes has undergone a radical transformation between 2024 and 2026, transitioning from the classical bottomless pits of general relativity to the intricate ...
