Physicists claim they may have found a long-awaited explanation for dark energy, the mysterious force that's driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, a new preprint study hints. Their ...

We often marvel at the genius of Albert Einstein, a physicist who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Yet, even ...

DURHAM, N.C. – Using lasers to contain some ultra-chilled atoms, a team of scientists has measured the viscosity or stickiness of a gas often considered to be the sixth state of matter. The ...

A plucked guitar string can vibrate for seconds before falling silent. A playground swing, emptied of its passenger, will gradually come to rest ...

String theory captured the hearts and minds of many physicists decades ago because of a beautiful simplicity. Zoom in far enough on a patch of space, the theory says, and you won’t see a menagerie of ...

The third Quantum Gravity conference took place at Penn State University from 21 to 25 July 2025, bringing together ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

Are black holes tunnels to other locations in spacetime? Are they wormholes connecting different regions of the universe? A study has provided a clear answer to this question. The remainder of this ...

Understanding the universe's building blocks, the Standard Model categorizes particles and explains forces, yet leaves ...

Gauge theory and string theory represent two foundational pillars in contemporary theoretical physics, offering profound insights into the nature of fundamental interactions and the structure of the ...

The scientific community may be on the cusp of discovering methods for sending particles into previously unperceived dimensions, said world-renowned physicist Brian Greene at the Rhode Island School ...
