"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 ...

The famed collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has ended operations, but if all goes to plan, a new collider will rise ...

A team of physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently hypothesized that the event that occurred in 2023, when a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such ...

Spin correlations in the heart of a particle collider may help crack one of the biggest mysteries known, said physicist Zhoudunming Tu.
