To progress to the next level in understanding reality, we need to combine quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose ...

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

Some of the most important forces in the universe are almost impossibly small. Detecting them requires instruments so ...

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Alex May, whose research explores the intersection of quantum ...

The most direct probe of λ3 comes from Higgs-boson pair production (HH). HH production happens most often by the fusion of ...

The Standard Model of our universe doesn’t match the evidence, in part because of dark energy, a ghostly force pushing the ...

A 'boom' of light that appears when a particle exceeds the speed of light set by a medium could, in other contexts, signal a ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

For centuries, the principle of symmetry has guided physicists towards more fundamental truths, but now a slew of shocking findings suggest a far stranger idea from quantum theory could be a deeper dr ...

In a nutshell, string theory is a sprawling realm of theoretical physics that assumes that tiny vibrating strings are the ...
