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

A team of physicists has proposed that the Big Bang did not mark the absolute beginning of everything but instead occurred inside a collapsing black hole, meaning our entire universe may exist within ...

In our 3D space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction ...

This breathtaking clue about the architecture of consciousness supports a Nobel-Prize winner’s theory about how quantum physics works in your brain.

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

The puzzle Einstein and Rosen were addressing was never about space travel, but about how quantum fields behave in curved spacetime. I ...

“For the last 20 years, people believed that the cosmological constant is positive, and the universe will expand forever,” says Tye, a professor emeritus at Cornell. A positive constant acts like a ...

Physicists have been puzzling over conflicting observational results pertaining to the accelerating expansion rate of our Universe—a major discovery recognized by the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. New ...

A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.

Why Information, Not Matter, May Be the True Foundation of Reality - Rethinking Reality Through Physics, Information, ...

UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...
