A blip of light in the outer reaches of the Milky Way might be a bizarre black hole born at the beginning of time itself—and ...

Space and time looked settled, at least in broad outline. Einstein’s special relativity gave physics a durable framework for ...

In holographic theories, physicists may have traced the pliability of space-time to its quantum roots: a measure of ...

Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining signatures of string theory.

Stardust Solutions says its tiny spheres can reflect the sun’s rays without harming people or the environment. Critics say private companies have no business altering Earth’s atmosphere. An enclosed ...

Newtons Law of Gravity just survived its biggest cosmic test. Scientists studied nearly 686,000 galaxies spread across 7 billion light-years. The result surprised even modern cosmologists. Gravity ...

The motion of galaxy clusters in the distant Universe has just yielded the largest-scale test yet of the laws of gravity.

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermions — but researchers have ...

Physicists have spent the last 20 years pondering an apparent discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical predictions for the magnetic properties of the muon, the electron’s heavier ...

A pair of rare particles produced in high-energy proton collisions may be the clearest evidence yet that mass can emerge from empty space. The finding could shed light on one of the biggest puzzles in ...

Viscosity is considered the most important physical property for lubricants, irrespective of their origin, use, or technical purpose. Viscosity is the measure of internal friction of a liquid or the ...

While science has a solid grasp on calculating drag and resistance on microscopic spherical objects, particles like dust, microplastics, and viruses are rarely spherical. A new study re-analyzes a ...
