The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...
Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.
An artist's impression of the quantum experiment. (Courtesy: University of Southampton) The first technique capable of measuring the pull of gravity on a particle just microns in diameter could aid ...
Funded by the Air Force, Brian Gilchrist and his colleagues are developing a new type of thruster that uses nanoparticles as propellant. Much of the engine is etched directly onto a wafer-thin piece ...
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 ...
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 249, No. 1257 (Jan. 1, 1959), pp. 180-194 (15 pages) Einstein's equations for the orbits round an ...
This is what the creation of a Higgs Boson looks like to the Large Hadron Collider. (Credit: CERN) The Higgs boson is, if ...
The recent confirmation of gravity waves observed by the LIGO project represents a huge breakthrough in physics, verifying Albert Einstein's predictions regarding the effect of mass on space and time ...
The Universe we perceive and view, all around us, isn't representative of what actually exists at a fundamental level. Instead of continuous, solid objects, matter is composed of indivisible quantum ...
