Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, ...

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

We’ve been told by science that the universe is expanding relentlessly, driven by a mysterious force called dark energy. Eventually, galaxies would drift so far apart that the night sky would go black ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

This breathtaking clue about the architecture of consciousness supports a Nobel-Prize winner’s theory about how quantum physics works in your brain.

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 ...

The shape of the cosmos depends on a balance of two competing forces: the pull of gravity and the expansion driven by dark ...

A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.

Why Information, Not Matter, May Be the True Foundation of Reality - Rethinking Reality Through Physics, Information, ...

New data from major dark-energy observatories suggest the universe may not expand forever after all. A Cornell physicist calculates that the cosmos is heading toward a dramatic reversal: after ...

“Under the right conditions, this collapse doesn’t end in a singularity — instead, it bounces and begins expanding again,” said University of Portsmouth professor Enrique Gaztañaga in a statement that ...
