Tracking the first astronauts’ visit to Mars won’t be as simple as watching a clock or marking days off of a calendar. Thanks ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

The famous double-slit experiment brings into question the very nature of matter. Its cousin, the quantum eraser experiment, ...

The term “scientific fiction,” a subtle adjustment to science fiction, is often used to describe weighty literary novels ...

The next time you can't find where you parked your car, try this wild physics hack to find your car faster and easier every ...

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

Paper packaging is a sustainable alternative to plastic. However, as it is permeable to air, food packaged in paper loses its ...

Over geological time, information loss is the norm, not the exception. The “unitarity” principle of quantum mechanics says ...

In a cafe at CERN in 1992, three physicists realized they disagreed about how many constants are needed to describe all of nature. A recent paper suggests only one – time – is necessary.

The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

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

Physics is often about recognizing patterns, sometimes repeated across vastly different scales. For instance, moons orbit planets in the same way planets orbit stars, which in turn orbit the center of ...
