A new theoretical framework shows how subtle fluctuations in spacetime could be detected using existing interferometers.

Gravity used to be the most dependable rule in the cosmic rulebook, the quiet background force that never changed its mind. Now a series of discoveries and bold claims are turning that certainty into ...

A clear look at how physics defines gravity, from Newton’s force-based model to Einstein’s view of curved spacetime, and why the distinction matters in modern science.

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, ...

Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

Theoretical research led by Professor Enrique Gaztañaga of the University of Portsmouth challenges the ...

Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...

Physicists have long believed that detecting the particle of gravity—the graviton—was fundamentally impossible, with the ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting “spacetime fluctuations” - tiny, random distortions in the fabric of spacetime that ...

"We have long treated the Planck scale like a blurry limit," said Kulkarni. "But if you treat space as an information storage medium, geometry dictates a specific packing efficiency. The universe has ...

You might think galaxies can’t ever find each other in our runaway cosmos, but it turns out gravity can sometimes overcome ...

Scientists use distant gamma ray bursts to prove that light maintains its constant speed, reinforcing Einstein's theory.
