What if the famous P vs NP problem isn’t just about algorithms but about the observers trying to solve them? Research ...

Physicists have demonstrated with unprecedented accuracy that the speed of light remains constant. In 1887, a landmark physics experiment was carried out by American researchers Michelson and Morley.

Stars powered by dark matter instead of nuclear fusion could solve several mysteries of the early universe, and we may have ...

The uniquely vulnerable West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough water to raise global sea levels by 5 meters. But when that ...

Quantum computing and neutron star physics are converging on the same hard problem: how to describe matter when gravity and ...

Scientists have captured the first-ever direct evidence for dark matter, the elusive substance that makes up more than a ...

The story opens with a scene both familiar and deceptively simple: physicists once again interrogating the fabric of reality, ...

CHENGDU -- On Haizi Mountain in Daocheng in Southwest China's Sichuan province, with an average altitude over 4,400 meters, a ...

What might the second quantum revolution mean for science, technology and our understanding of reality itself?

Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at its most fundamental level. A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very ...

In Millikan's experiment, an oil drop became a microscopic messenger, revealing the quantized nature of electric charge, a cornerstone of modern physics. This ingenious experiment, conducted by Robert ...
