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

Knots are everywhere—from tangled headphones to DNA strands packed inside viruses—but how an isolated filament can knot ...

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

By partnering with artificial intelligence (AI), a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National ...

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 ...

Combining artificial intelligence with a conventional climate model can predict heatwaves faster than the standard model ...

Researchers from TUM, working at CERN, have made a groundbreaking discovery that reveals how deuterons are formed. Another long-standing question in particle physics has been answered. Scientists ...

Why does light carry energy even though it has no mass? This video explains the real physics behind photons, energy–momentum relationships, and how light can transfer energy and momentum without mass.

Using the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, scientists have filmed atoms performing an eternal quantum dance that never ...

“Using newer mathematical tools, my colleague and I have demonstrated a new theory that may accurately describe the universe.

Colin Furze used to be a plumber, but really found his calling building wacky contraptions, like a homemade hoverbike, a ...

Applied physics is the study of physics for a practical purpose, as opposed to physics motived solely for an improved fundamental understanding. This includes technological advances such as the ...
