Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

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

Over 85 years after it began, the Einstein-Bohr debate remains the most consequential intellectual rivalry in modern science ...

Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

When you look up at the night sky, it appears unchanging. But if you look deep enough you will find that the sky is in fact ...

Physicists have been puzzling over conflicting observational results pertaining to the accelerating expansion rate of our Universe—a major discovery recognized by the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. New ...

"The polarized light of the cosmic microwave background is sensitive to new physics that violates parity symmetry," the team ...

Brown University physics Prof. Stephon Alexander spoke on how the analysis of musical elements can help astrophysicists understand patterns of the universe in his lecture “The Jazz of Physics” ...

Astronomers have long known the universe is expanding—but exactly how fast remains one of the biggest mysteries in cosmology. Different techniques for measuring the Hubble constant stubbornly disagree ...

“Under the right conditions, this collapse doesn’t end in a singularity — instead, it bounces and begins expanding again,” said University of Portsmouth professor Enrique Gaztañaga in a statement that ...

The “horizon” he points to isn’t a doorway to the divine, other scientists say. Yet, modern physics has been trying to answer questions once left to religion.
