A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

Researchers created a technique to reduce uncertainty in cosmic birefringence measurements, resolving a key phase ambiguity and improving future studies of fundamental physics.

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole new model to account for gravity’s influence.

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

On Thursday, February 6, 2025, Professor Jamie Nagle captivated an audience of students, staff, faculty, and community members during the 125 th Distinguished Research Lecture hosted by CU Boulder’s ...

Physicists have been puzzling over conflicting observational results pertaining to the accelerating expansion rate of our Universe—a major discovery recognized by the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. New ...

Brown University physics Prof. Stephon Alexander spoke on how the analysis of musical elements can help astrophysicists understand patterns of the universe in his lecture “The Jazz of Physics” ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. When you purchase through links on our ...
