Vijay Balasubramanian (University of Pennsylvania) emphasised that the challenge is not only reproducing the familiar area law – which links entropy to the area of the event horizon – but also ...

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 ...

Michael S Turner argues that the next breakthrough in particle physics and cosmology may be just around the corner.

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.

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.

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.

One of the most striking features of quantum physics is that certain properties cannot be measured at the same time. Every measurement may inevitably affect the object's physical state being ...
