Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

A recent study published in Nuclear Physics B examines how hidden dimensions might influence the physical reality that we ...

Recent advances in theoretical physics have increasingly highlighted the pivotal role of algebraic structures in unifying particle physics with quantum gravity. These approaches leverage sophisticated ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

ISS microgravity experiments reveal how particles cluster, helping science on Earth and future space missions.

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

Paul M. Sutter is an astrophysicist at SUNY Stony Brook and the Flatiron Institute, host of Ask a Spaceman and Space Radio, and author of How to Die in Space. A hypothetical particle known as the ...

Gravitational wave astronomy is starting to do more than confirm Einstein’s equations. It is turning into a precision tool for mapping the invisible, with theorists now arguing that ripples in ...
