Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work ...

"WIMPs are still the leading candidate for dark matter, but billions of dollars of experiments have been done, only getting ...

The number seven also has meaning on “Stranger Things” because a die with the number seven facing up can be seen at the end ...

The particle in question, known as a sterile neutrino, was supposed to only interact with gravity and have zero interactions ...

The rapid acceleration of the universe’s expansion continues to challenge our understanding of fundamental physics. Why the ...

How a rejected paper by Kolkata physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, backed by Albert Einstein, laid the scientific foundation for ...

New research puts forward compelling new evidence that dark matter interacts with cosmic "ghost particles" called neutrinos.

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...
