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

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

Black holes are often thought of as cosmic traps where matter is crushed into an infinite-density singularity. But some physicists believe quantum effects could prevent this collapse, forming an ...

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 ...

Like physics, math has its own set of “fundamental particles”—the prime numbers, which can’t be broken down into smaller ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

About 13.8 billion years ago, the origin of the universe began with the Big Bang. Scientists say all space, time, matter, and ...

Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of ...

The Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) announced today the formation of the Commission on U.S. Quantum Primacy (CUSP). This high-level, bipartisan body is tasked with developing a ...

Over 85 years after it began, the Einstein-Bohr debate remains the most consequential intellectual rivalry in modern science ...

It’s hard for leaders to feel the full weight and gravity of advice they receive about delegation, trust or resilience until a setback makes the stakes personal.

Professor Sir Anthony Leggett, the theoretical physicist who has died aged 87, shared the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics for his ...
