A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden ...

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 ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...

Quantum science is as hard a science as can be created. Understanding it requires in-depth mathematical frameworks with pronouns in their names, like a projective Hilbert space or Von Neumann algebra.

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

One of the most important open questions in science is how our consciousness is established. In the 1990s, long before winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his prediction of black holes, ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...

Understanding neutrinos reshapes how scientists view the birth and fate of the Universe. If CP violation in neutrinos is ...

Quantum computers, quantum cryptography, and quantum (insert name here) are often in the news these days. Articles about them inevitably refer to entanglement, a property of quantum physics that makes ...

When she first began weightlifting on the advice of a co-worker in 2006, College of DuPage physics adjunct faculty member Jennifer Gimmell found it to be a fun activity. The grueling workouts provided ...

The novels of J R R Tolkien - well known to generations of fantasy buffs - have recently captured the imagination of movie-goers around the world. Now US astrophysicist Kristine Larsen from Central ...
