Two months after Jainendra K. Jain, Evan Pugh University Professor and Erwin W. Müller Professor of Physics and holder of the Eberly Family Chair in the Penn State Eberly College of Science, received ...

New research challenges the long-accepted notion of singularities in black holes — the point where physics allegedly breaks ...

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 ...

The mathematics of graphs has helped reveal a principle that limits the strength of quantum correlations – and explains why physicists have never measured any stronger connections in some post-quantum ...

Gran Turismo is one of the greatest racing game franchises of all time, and it all began with a game from the '90s offered on ...

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

To do this, they introduced a novel mathematical object they call the space-time dimension field. This field acts as a kind ...

Physicists are on the verge of potentially merging gravity with quantum physics, a significant breakthrough in the field. In a groundbreaking development, researchers are proposing a new approach to ...

The drama’s title refers to the study of the flow behavior of certain substances, such as sand. In the play, the granular ...

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 ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar ...
