The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

Physicists have long treated mass as a basic ingredient of nature, something particles simply possess, even as the Higgs ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical ...

A recent study published in Nuclear Physics B examines how hidden dimensions might influence the physical reality that we ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Jason Bono was one of the researchers behind a major scientific moment — when tiny particles unexpectedly unraveled one of the most important and successful theories in physics. Bono, who earned his ...

An illustration conveying the idea of a space-based quantum internet, which would seem, like the hypothetical particle of a tachyon, to outpace light. An illustration ...

The recent confirmation of gravity waves observed by the LIGO project represents a huge breakthrough in physics, verifying Albert Einstein's predictions regarding the effect of mass on space and time ...

This is the second piece in a series on the search for new physics at CERN. This might be a very big deal. The Standard Model, which has withstood all experimental challenges for forty years, is our ...

Going to smaller and smaller distance scales reveals more fundamental views of nature, which means if we can understand and describe the smallest scales, we can build our way to an understanding of ...

What is our Universe made out of? At a fundamental level, to the best of our knowledge, the answer is simple: particles and fields. The type of matter that makes up humans, Earth, and all the stars, ...
