Physicists are scrambling to understand why dark energy is weakening. In a surprising twist, we must now reconsider the ...
Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...
Conventional crystals are materials in which atoms arrange themselves in repeating spatial patterns. Time crystals, on the other hand, are phases of matter characterized by repeating motions over time ...
In 1974, physicist Stephen Hawking described the potential for tiny, primordial black holes that existed at the dawn of time ...
Neutron stars harbor some of the most extreme environments in the universe: their densities soar to several times those of atomic nuclei, and they possess some of the strongest gravitational fields of ...
In the vast expanse of the universe, there are regions so empty they seem likethe definition of nothingness: cosmic voids. But recent discoveries are upending that perception. These empty spaces, ...
A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.
An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.
Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.
About 13.8 billion years ago, the origin of the universe began with the Big Bang. Scientists say all space, time, matter, and ...
