Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

For the first time, physicists have used lasers to deep-freeze antimatter. In a new experiment, an ultraviolet laser quelled the thermal jitters of antihydrogen atoms, chilling the antiatoms to just ...

Modern physics has turned the old clockwork picture of the universe into something far stranger, filled with quantum probabilities, emergent patterns and deep puzzles about what counts as a “cause.” ...

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...
