Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

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.

Caltech scientists have developed a method that detects tiny, imperceptible movements at the surface of objects to reveal details about what lies beneath. By analyzing the physics of waves traveling ...

For years, the Prairie Pothole Region has bothered me in a very specific way. On a map, it looks like a normal landscape: ...

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

Estimating a mass for a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) is perhaps the single most important thing to understand about ...

A team of scientists says it's possible to use tiny ripples in space and time, or gravitational waves, to measure the rate at which our universe is expanding. This could solve one of the biggest ...

Astronomers have long known the universe is expanding—but exactly how fast remains one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology. Different techniques for measuring the Hubble constant stubbornly disagree ...

GPT-5.2 Pro has made a major scientific advance by proposing a new formula that shows gluon interactions - long believed to disappear - can actually occur under certain conditions. (Image Credit: ...
