Physicists from Imperial College London have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in quantum physics by reimagining the ...

Can we turn back time? Ask a savvy physicist, and the answer will be “it depends.” Schemes for retrograde time travel abound but usually involve irreconcilable paradoxes and rely on outlandish ...

Black holes can’t be formed from pure light. Quantum physics would curb their creation under any foreseeable conditions, a new study suggests. Typically, matter is responsible for black holes. They’re ...

The 2023 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to three scientists who created pulses of light so short they can be used to watch the inner workings of atoms. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and ...

Space — the final frontier. These are the words that introduce every episode of classic "Star Trek," the show that essentially popularized the concept of traveling the stars at the speed of light – or ...

The exploration of quantum information challenges objective reality, positing the universe as a hologram is explored through ...

Far beneath the Black Hills of South Dakota, a tank of liquid xenon is quietly recording some of the faintest signals in the ...

From the pristine dark of his backyard in rural Alberta, Canada, Alan Dyer has taken stunning photos of a rare sky glow called STEVE. To capture this ribbon of mauve, he and other citizen scientists ...

Because dark matter is completely invisible to light, science had to look for clever new methods to spot it.

Researchers have found a razor-thin, rotating string of galaxies inside a massive cosmic filament, revealing unexpected ...
