Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Quantum materials can behave in surprising ways when many tiny spins act together, producing effects that don’t exist in ...

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole new model to account for gravity’s influence.

For decades, astrophysicists have wrestled with a basic but brutal question: how did black holes in the early Universe grow ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

Pittsburgh Physicists Expose Flaw in How Quantum Breakthroughs Are Claimed In A Nutshell The solution: share complete datasets publicly and test findings across wider parameter ranges before claiming ...

Every medication in your cabinet, every material in your phone's battery, and virtually every compound that makes modern life work started as a molecular guess, with scientists hypothesizing that a ...

An obscure theory of elementary particles proved to be key to China’s re-emergence as a scientific nation after the Cultural ...
