A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Physicists are scrambling to understand why dark energy is weakening. In a surprising twist, we must now reconsider the ...

About 13.8 billion years ago, the origin of the universe began with the Big Bang. Scientists say all space, time, matter, and ...

Ben Delo donation is part of the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences’ effort to raise £60mn for research ...

Plausible science fiction occupies a space between imagination and inquiry. It does not promise answers so much as ...

Mathematicians say knots cannot exist in four-dimensional space because the extra dimension allows a rope to move around itself and untangle, revealing surprising insights into geometry and topology.

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

The “horizon” he points to isn’t a doorway to the divine, other scientists say. Yet, modern physics has been trying to answer questions once left to religion.

There is a silence in the night sky that has bothered me for as long as I can remember. ” Richard Feynman’s reflection lingers because it feels personal.

Particle physics is using ever more interdisciplinary means to seek ever more exotic phenomena, Robert P Crease finds, but ...

In classical physics, memory is defined in a straightforward way. If a system’s future behavior depends only on its current condition, it is considered memoryless. If earlier states continue to ...

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.
