Warp drive has long been a narrative shortcut for science fiction, but a new generation of physicists is treating it as a ...

Physicist Brian Cox has rarely been shy about his enthusiasm for big, difficult ideas, but his reaction to a recent quantum ...

Math students may not blink at calculating probabilities, measuring the area beneath curves or evaluating matrices, yet they often find themselves at sea when first confronted with writing proofs.

It won't be long before Colorado State University Pueblo students are not able to major or minor in physics.

Combining artificial intelligence with a conventional climate model can predict heatwaves faster than the standard model ...

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

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...
