For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

By building an atomic equivalent of the critical Josephson junction, scientists can now study how energy is lost and excitations form.

For the first time, astronomers have captured the brilliance of a superluminous supernova via gravitational lensing.

The microscopic processes taking place in superconductors are difficult to observe directly. Researchers at the RPTU ...

Even worse, the orbit of Mars is elliptical (think of a slight oval rather than a perfect circle), which means that sometimes ...

EXCLUSIVE: A big-screen adaptation of Dr. Ronald Mallett’s memoir “Time Traveler: A Scientist’s Personal Mission to Make Time ...

For the first time, scientists have observed a swirling distortion in spacetime caused by a rapidly spinning black hole—an ...

Scientists detect a 20-day wobble from a star-shredding black hole, confirming spacetime twisting predicted by Einstein.

The cosmos has served up a gift for a group of scientists who have been searching for one of the most elusive phenomena in ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

This paper follows another in which Professor Martín-Olalla corrected an original idea by Einstein that gave rise to the third law of thermodynamics ...

The exploration of quantum information challenges objective reality, positing the universe as a hologram is explored through ...
