Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

Scientists have detected a persistent background hum of gravitational waves. This cosmic hum is a new way to explore the ...

In the 1900s, Albert Einstein unified the concepts of space and time, giving us a useful new way to picture the universe. At the start of the 20th century, physicists had a problem: The speed of light ...

Neutron stars are ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that collapsed after supernova explosions and are made up mostly of ...

For over a century, scientists have been intrigued to decode the perplexing scenery behind contemporary physics. It's been up for many years, and yet the experts still have no idea how to bridge the ...

Although quantum mechanics and general relatively help explain the universe—at both small and cosmic scales—the two theories are fundamentally incompatible with each other. This has spawn theories ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

So far, the most accurate model describing gravity is still Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It states that gravity as we feel and observe it is a kind of side effect of the fabric of ...
