Plus, our experts explain the downsides to driving older modelsBy Mike MonticelloMain theme: In this podcast episode, we give ...

Black holes form when an enormous mass collapses into an infinitesimal point known as a singularity. That compression creates ...

A variation on the theory of quantum gravity — the unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity — could help solve one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology, new research suggests.

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

A new theory suggests that the unification between quantum physics and general relativity has eluded scientists for 100 years because huge "fluctuations" in space and time mean that gravity won't play ...

The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole.

The early growth of the gas giant carved rings that formed primitive meteorites and shaped the architecture of the inner solar system. New research from Rice University reveals that Jupiter played a ...

A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By ...

Geologists have long been captivated by the Indian Ocean's "gravity hole," where the Earth's gravitational pull weakens, its mass falls, and sea levels drop by about 328 feet (100 meters). After years ...

The scientists, from Spain and Germany, say the current standard model of physics cannot explain everything we see in the universe ...

Kyoto, Japan -- Having more tools helps; having the right tools is better. Utilizing multiple dimensions may simplify difficult problems -- not only in science fiction but also in physics -- and tie ...

The University of California opened its doors in 1869 with just 10 faculty members and 40 students. Today, the UC system has more than 295,000 students and 265,000 faculty and staff, with 2.0 million ...
