The discovery of the Higgs boson hasn’t led to a explosion of new physics. Now, some scientists think that hidden physics may ...

Letters: Physics research drives technological innovation, from medical imaging to data processing, write Dr Phil Bull and Prof Chris Clarkson; plus letters from Tim Gershon and Vincenzo Vagnoni, and ...

An evolutionary biologist weighs in on mating and dating in the age of apps. Is pair bonding passé? Is single the new married ...

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 ...

At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on the edge of Geneva, scientists have reported a surprising twist in the behavior of matter.

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can ...

A physicist has mounted one of the most detailed technical challenges yet against the idea that our universe is a computer simulation, arguing that the energy required to run such a program would ...

Simone Colombo is developing a faster method for cooling gases with a host of quantum applications Image by Gerd Altmann from ...

A 1 Gw orbital data center would cost roughly $42.4B—almost three times its ground-bound equivalent.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider , the largest particle collider in the United States, collided its last particles in early February. RHIC is a massive accelerator ring and set ...

Diamond quantum nanoprobes detect immune cell inflammation by sensing electric charge shifts, opening a new path for real-time single-cell monitoring in immunology and cancer research.

NASA is on a mission to scan the Northern Lights and fly rockets straight into them to uncover what actually happens inside ...
