The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Over the past decades, energy engineers have developed increasingly advanced battery technologies that can store more energy, charge faster and maintain their performance for longer. In recent years, ...

The conceptual architecture of black holes has undergone a radical transformation between 2024 and 2026, transitioning from the classical bottomless pits of general relativity to the intricate ...

An international team of researchers has demonstrated a new method for stabilizing exotic quantum states by reducing the heating that typically occurs when quantum systems are periodically driven.

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

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 quantum internet is only as useful as its reach, and in a first, researchers created more than a million qubit pairs across ...

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

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

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

Scientists from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have used mathematical concepts from string theory, a theoretical description of the mechanics of the entire universe, to upend over a century of ...
