In her second pop-science book, theoretical cosmologist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein returns to her celestial and cultural roots.

Bell's theorem, the well-known theoretical framework introduced by John Bell decades ago, delineates the limits of classical physical processes arising from relativistic causality principles. These ...

The concept of spacetime, first described in Einstein's theory of general relativity, has since been widely studied by many ...

New spacetime model: Researchers reframed Einstein’s equations to reveal gravitational structures that can remain connected during spacetime evolution, inspired by plasma physics. Conserved quantities ...

Spacetime isn’t supposed to be predictable, but scientists may have just found the rules ...

Families, students and curious minds filled the ground floor of White Hall on Saturday afternoon as West Virginia University ...

The quantum revolution in physics — whose 100th anniversary we have just celebrated — taught us that at the most basic level the world is bizarrely different than it seems. But, we appear to only have ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

A team of scientists has used X-ray and gamma-ray observations of some of the most distant objects in the Universe to better understand the nature of space and time. Their results set limits on the ...

Mind-bending materials called quasicrystals have an orderly structure, but without a regularly repeating pattern. They’ve been found in meteorites and the debris from the first atomic bomb test.
