This is where Emmy Noether, a groundbreaking German mathematician, comes into the picture. She found a breathtakingly simple ...

Since Einstein, physicists have found that certain entities can reach superluminal (that means "faster-than-light") speeds and still follow the cosmic rules laid down by special relativity.

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and ...

Scientists aim to build the first graviton detector to explore gravity's quantum nature, despite significant challenges.

While the US is attempting to come up with CLT, researchers from the Purple Mountain Observatory in Nanjing and the ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

If the universe was a soundtrack, we have been humming it our whole life. Every atom in our body, every star in the sky, every beam of light is part of a piece of music that never stops playing.

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

General relativity describes gravitation in a geometrical framework generalizing special relativity and classical mechanics. This term includes theoretical studies of gravity, experimental studies of ...

Challenging long-held assumptions, Aarhus University researchers have demonstrated that the protein building blocks essential ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost ...
