Light was long considered to be a wave, exhibiting the phenomenon of interference in which ripples like those in water waves ...

A nearly century-old offshoot of Einstein’s general theory of relativity may hold promise for solving the mysteries of dark ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the laws governing the very small with those that describe the vast ...

What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world's population—most of them quantum physicists—up at night for decades.

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of ...

In the process, their experiment included photons in 37 dimensions, taking science even further down this strange quantum rabbit hole with the hopes of finding applications in these high-dimensional ...

Scientists have discovered a way to create black holes without the mysterious singularities where physics breaks down. By ...

When two objects share a quantum state, their behaviour becomes mysteriously linked. If you measure one object, the state of ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

Chien-Shiung Wu’s trailblazing but largely forgotten achievement features in a recent profile of the influential physicist.
