Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...
Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...
A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all. Instead, it could arise from entropy, a measure of disorder. The theory, ...
For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein's general relativity explains gravity as the bending of space and time. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...
A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...
The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study suggests this mysterious ingredient may not be necessary after all. Using an ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A team of researchers has developed a new quantum dilution refrigerator that could revolutionize quantum computing research. Able ...
Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...
A new study explains how a century of strange physics has evolved from a cat paradox into the foundation of modern technology. It shows how "quantum weirdness" is now being used to build better ...
