Earth's orbiting satellites are commonly regarded as if they were suspended in mid-air. It is a fact that they actually ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

For centuries, the principle of symmetry has guided physicists towards more fundamental truths, but now a slew of shocking ...

A newly discovered celestial object may be a starless cloud that could change how astronomers understand dark matter.

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has observed a perplexing anomaly in the behaviour of 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object spotted in our solar system since 1I/'Oumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...
