For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

When molecular biologist Francis Crick tripped on the psychedelic drug LSD in 1953, his mind famously pulled together all of his previous research on human DNA to conceive of the image of a double ...

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could potentially be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang ...

A new study enhances hydrogen molecule predictions, achieving unprecedented precision in testing fundamental physics and ...

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

There’s a lot of discussion about “time” in the world of quantum physics. At the micro level, where waves and particles can behave the same, time tends to be much more malleable than it is in our ...

March is bound to get even madder. Scientists at Cornell University have put together a data model that suggests that the application of a physics theory to basketball may lead to teams scoring five ...

Physicists at the University of Bayreuth are among the international pioneers of power functional theory. This new approach makes it possible for the first time to precisely describe the dynamics of ...

String theory, simultaneously one of the most promising and controversial ideas in modern physics, may be more capable of helping probe the inner workings of subatomic particles than was previously ...
