Streamers are building huge audiences by attacking academic physics as just another corrupt establishment. Scientists are ...

It's one thing when a respected scientist has a novel idea of what dark matter or dark energy might be, or what could explain ...

Science is a story of coming up with theories then doing our best to disprove them. That is especially true for theories on a ...

For nearly two centuries, scientists believed that ice becomes slippery because pressure or friction melts its surface. New research from Saarland University overturns this idea. For more than a ...

For a long time, high-dimensional space has remained largely theoretical due to its inability to be perceived through ...

There’s a lot of discussion about “time” in the world of quantum physics. At the micro level, where waves and particles can behave the same, time tends to be much more malleable than it is in our ...

Constructor Theory is the ability to see the deepest underlying facts about the world. The people behind the greatest leaps in physics - Einstein, Newton, Heisenberg, all had the uncanny ability to ...

Researchers in Germany have discovered that slipping on ice is caused by dipole interactions, not friction or temperature.

Physicists know about the huge chasm between quantum physics and the theory of gravity. However, in recent decades, theoretical physics has provided some plausible conjecture to bridge this gap and to ...

UMass Amherst physicists predict a primordial black hole explosion within ten years, an event that could confirm Hawking ...

The papers were picked from a pool of the 2024 Journal of Chemical Physics (JCP) Emerging Investigators Special Collection, ...
