For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

From mind-bending houses that seem to float in mid-air to precarious properties that cantilever over their surroundings, ...

Fundamental physics faces a stubborn paradox: the current impossibility of reconciling the rules of the quantum world with ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity does a great job at explaining gravity but it is thought to be incomplete ...

In 1887, one of the most important experiments in the history of physics took place. American scientists Michelson and Morley ...

A subtle timing flash may expose the Unruh effect. The approach ties ordinary lab tools to deep quantum physics. Researchers ...

Attempts to describe quantum physics are rarely enjoyable, but Paul Davies' zeal in Quantum 2.0 sometimes steers too close to ...

Physicists have determined that most of the universe is dark matter -- invisible to us but affecting the universe anyway.

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...
