In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics describes all known ...

Physicists are a step closer to using quantum computers for simulations that are beyond the ability of any ordinary computers ...

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

Some physicists think our reality is a kind of cosmic hologram, with space, time, and gravity as manifestations of a ...

String theory has long been presented as physicists' best candidate for describing the fundamental nature of the Universe.

Researchers, in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, introduce a new mechanism that may finally allow ultralight dark ...

Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that ...

Computer simulations of high-energy particles are pushing the boundaries of what we can learn about the interactions that happen inside particle colliders ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings are pulled to the point of breaking. Two teams of physicists ...

In a dark corner of a guest house in Helgoland, a diary by Werner Heisenberg has been discovered, describing how he developed ...

According to scientific legend, quantum mechanics was born on the island of Helgoland in 1925. A hundred years later, ...
