Every time a coffee mug drops, a satellite orbits or an astronaut floats, we are watching the same phenomenon play out under ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

A mathematical test for the nature of space-time – the fabric of physical reality – may be the first step towards novel computer-like devices that process information using gravity. Eleftherios-Ermis ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a point of infinite density called a singularity. To explore these ...

The CHIEF1900 is currently the world's most powerful centrifuge that was commissioned by China in December 2025.

In 1919, physicist Theodor Kaluza hypothesized that extra dimensions might solve some outstanding problems in physics. And while we haven't found any evidence yet for anything outside our normal ...

Massive ripples in the very fabric of space and time wash over Earth constantly, although you'd never notice. An astrophysicist is trying a new search for these gravitational waves. University of ...
