Physics

The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once — an insight with potentially major ramifications.

Wherever astronomers look, they see life’s raw materials.

New observations of microscopic vortices confirm the existence of a paradoxical phase of matter that may also arise inside neutron stars.

A new experimental proposal suggests detecting a particle of gravity is far easier than anyone imagined. Now physicists are debating what it would really prove.

The giant holes in galaxies’ centers shouldn’t be able to merge, yet merge they do. Scientists suggest that an unusual form of dark matter may be the solution.

Researchers are exploring new ways that quantum computers will be able to reveal the secrets of complex quantum systems.

Astronomers are reveling in the James Webb Space Telescope’s discoveries about the formative epoch of cosmic history.

To better understand machine learning algorithms, Lenka Zdeborová treats them like physical materials.

Curious connections between physics and math suggest to Latham Boyle that space-time may survive the jump to the next theory of reality.
