Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

For more than half a century, the idea that light or radio waves could suddenly reverse in time sounded like a thought ...

The fundamental nature of living things challenges assumptions that physicists have held for centuries.

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have re-engineered the popular Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) for simulating ...

The person you spend the most time thinking about in a Fallout game is the build-a-bear murderer you assemble in character ...

Mathematical formulas written over a hundred years ago could find an echo in the most current theories about black holes and ...

Even the best telescopes can’t see exoplanets. It’s all about watching for jiggly stars, blue shifts, and transits.

The Hubble tension is especially troubling because it involves two sets of measurements that offer conflicting views of the ...

New measurements using gravitational lensing suggest the universe’s current expansion rate does not agree with signals from ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

Four UC Nobel laureates on what they discovered here, why it matters, and why their world-changing work could only have ...

Scientists are testing a novel way to measure cosmic expansion using time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars. Their ...
