A professor at the University of Cincinnati and his colleagues have figured out something two of America's most famous ...

Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter weren't able to crack the dark matter problem, but a team of experts might have figured ...

For more than a century, physics has treated space and time as the smooth stage on which the universe unfolds, a flexible ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally reveal which theory of quantum gravity fits nature. Their new “q-desic” ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

When molecular biologist Francis Crick tripped on the psychedelic drug LSD in 1953, his mind famously pulled together all of his previous research on human DNA to conceive of the image of a double ...

For decades, physicists have accepted that the universe has two sizes: small and large. So-called classical equations govern big objects like baseballs and galaxies, while quantum mechanics describes ...

Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of ...

In 1905, a 26-year-old patent office clerk named Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity, advancing physics research worldwide. In 2005, the World Year of Physics is celebrated to ...

March is bound to get even madder. Scientists at Cornell University have put together a data model that suggests that the application of a physics theory to basketball may lead to teams scoring five ...
