How does fine dust aggregate into building blocks that ultimately form entire planets like our Earth? A research team led by ...

Scientists can now calculate how shared reality emerges from the strange quantum world using a theory called Quantum Darwinism.

What if the deepest part of a black hole is not defined only by crushed matter and broken spacetime, but by the logic of prime numbers? That question has moved from mathematical curiosity to a serious ...

Astronomers have discovered a flattened structure of matter around the Milky Way that explains the unusual motion of nearby galaxies.

Quantum mechanics is both the most powerful theory physicists have ever devised and the most baffling. On the one hand, countless experiments have confirmed its predictions; the theory undergirds ...

What’s “inside” a black hole? Are they portals to another universe, or are actually other universes in miniature? Those are ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Forces have mediator particles. Electromagnetism is mediated by the photons, for example. So most of the decay of this excited dark matter particle would be this unknown mediator. The excited state ...

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have proposed a new test to measure the “quantumness” of gravity after finding that conventional “quantum entanglement-based” tests may be ...
