This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of physics. Despite enormous progress in cosmology and particle physics, we still ...

An astrophysicist explains what wormholes are and how these theoretical space-time tunnels have popped up in the solutions to a set of decadesold equations.

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account ...

Nicholas Sparks, a professor of practice in the Tulane School of Science and Engineering, has discovered a theoretical mass ...

Your brain calculates complex physics every day and you don't even notice. This neuromorphic chip taps into the same idea.

The big bang wasn’t the start of everything, but it has been impossible to see what came before. Now a new kind of cosmology is lifting the veil on the beginning of time ...

From “research isn’t for me” to designing gamma-ray detectors and studying in Japan—Lincoln Potts turned one small yes into a ...

The shape of the cosmos depends on a balance of two competing forces: the pull of gravity and the expansion driven by dark ...

A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.

OpenAI's GPT-5.2 has derived a new formula explaining gluon scattering processes that physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...
