Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts that a rotating mass like the Earth pulls the fabric of space and ...

The question of how gravity interacts with the quantum world has long perplexed physicists, but a non-quantum theory of space ...

The laws of physics that concern heat and work could gain a firmer mathematical footing thanks to “gauge theory”, which ...

Time seems to be one of the most obvious things in the universe: it moves forward, seconds change minutes, and the past ...

More than a century later, scientists are still proving Albert Einstein right. The famed physicist’s revolutionary general ...

Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker in and out, but time keeps moving.

A best-yet measurement of one of general relativity’s most mind-boggling effects is “another feather in Einstein’s cap” ...

When two black holes orbit each other, they eventually spiral inward and collide in one of the most violent phenomena in the ...

A new quantum theory bridges two rival models of how impurities behave inside many-particle systems, resolving a problem that has challenged physicists for decades. The findings could reshape ...
