Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

A conspiracy theory that spread on social media claims that gravity will disappear for seven seconds this August, and that NASA is aware that this will happen. A physics professor explains why this is ...

For the past two decades, scientists have wondered about a bright, distinct striped pattern seen in radio waves emanating ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars that have exploded as supernovae, cram more mass than the Sun into a sphere barely 20 kilometers wide. Their gravity is billions of times stronger than ...

The results reveal that our universe is reverberating with cosmic collisions. Some of the waves stem from pairs of black ...

A mysterious striped signal from the Crab Pulsar may finally be explained by a delicate balance between plasma effects and ...

Physicists are scrambling to understand why dark energy is weakening. In a surprising twist, we must now reconsider the ...

Your weight doesn't change because of gravity but because the floor pushes back. Physicists explain why elevators briefly make you feel heavier or lighter.

When black holes collide, the crash generates ripples in the fabric of spacetime—gravitational waves. Thanks to a global network of observatories—called the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave ...
