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

A new study published in Nature Astronomy indicates that the dense, star- and dark-matter–rich environments around supermassive black hole binaries pack on the order of a million solar masses into ...

Researchers at Penn State are proving that nature's most powerful electrical discharges can be replicated and studied on a miniature, lab-controlled scale.

Much of our understanding of Earth's past is derived from stratigraphic records exposed in rock outcrops or recovered from drilled cores. These records span immense time intervals, from thousands to ...

Imagination has never been the most intractable problem in the physics of warp drive; it has been bookkeeping. The Alcubierre concept of 1994, the celebrated one, fits in the general relativity theory ...

In a research project that has real implications for their regular laboratory work, a pair of physicists at Brown University ...

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

There is a silence in the night sky that has bothered me for as long as I can remember. ” That observation, attributed to ...

Oracle-based quantum algorithms cannot use deep loops because quantum states exist only as mathematical amplitudes in Hilbert space with no physical substrate. Criticall ...

If you remember high school science, you’ll ace this quiz. And even if you don’t, stick around to expand your knowledge. 🫡The GCSE Combined Science exam is designed for UK students aged 15-16, ...

Scientists working at the South Pole have completed a major hardware expansion of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, installing new sensor strings deep in Antarctic ice during the 2025-2026 austral ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...
