The fabric of space and time is not exempt from the effects of gravity. Plop in a mass and space-time curves around it, not dissimilar to what happens when you put a bowling ball on a trampoline. This ...

Physicists have developed a novel approach to solving one of the most persistent problems in theoretical physics: uniting gravity with the quantum world. In a recent paper published in the journal ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical ...

Physicists have recently uncovered a groundbreaking material known as “time crystals,” which challenges our conventional understanding of time and space. This discovery, rooted in quantum physics, ...

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Scientists have attempted to disprove Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity for the better part of a century. After testing and confirming Einstein’s prediction in 2002 that ...

Researcher whose contribution to science was described as ‘close to Einstein’ specialised in the study of subatomic particles.

He and a colleague created a sensation in 1956 by proposing that one of the four forces of nature might violate a law of ...

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic ...

Chen Ning Yang was born in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province, in 1922. In the 1940s, he went to the United States to pursue ...
