Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light: The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

Recent findings from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument suggest the possibility of new physics that extends beyond the ...

SciFi books and films never explain how faster-than-light speed works. Wormholes are one solution, but there are problems.

The use of light signals to connect electronic components is a key element of today's data communication technologies, ...

Quantum ideas describe particles and fields in tiny packages, but general relativity paints gravity as smooth curves in space‑time. Until now.

In 1900, at the grand amphitheater of the Sorbonne in Paris, David Hilbert stood before a crowd of mathematicians and ...

Exactly 100 years ago, famed Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (yes, the cat guy) postulated his eponymous equation that ...

The other thing you’ll need – if you want your synthetic fuel to be carbon neutral at least – is a renewable energy source: ...

A polynomial is a type of algebraic equation that involves variables raised to a non-negative power — for example, x² + 5x + ...

Microfluidics experiments and simulations show that magnetotactic bacteria are adapted to the geomagnetic field strength for optimal navigation in sediment environments.

Rather it arrived via the careful analysis of many far-distant galaxies, which revealed new details of the universe’s ...

Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars are ...
