The shape of the cosmos depends on a balance of two competing forces: the pull of gravity and the expansion driven by dark ...

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.

Researchers from around the world have sought to answer important questions about the most basic laws of physics that govern our universe. Their experiment, the Majorana Demonstrator, has helped to ...

Mikhail Ivanov, Oliver Philcox, and Marko Simonović won the New Horizons Award for their work on large scale structures — the strands and filaments of our universe which contain buried clues to its ...

Our universe started with a bang that blasted everything into existence. But what happened next is a mystery. Scientists think that before atoms formed—or even the protons and neutrons they’re made of ...

A physicist has mounted one of the most detailed technical challenges yet against the idea that our universe is a computer simulation, arguing that the energy required to run such a program would ...

Using a quasar located 12.3 billion light-years away as a beacon, a team of astronomers detected the presence of molecular hydrogen in the farthest system ever, an otherwise invisible galaxy that we ...

What you think is a perfect reflection might be universe that is fundamentally different. When you look in mirror, and see what you think is a perfect reflection. You might be looking at universe ...
