A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can be in more than one state at once. When a particle's state is measured, ...

You may think of physics as a way to explain the behaviors of things like black holes, colliding particles, falling apples, and quantum computers. But a small group physicists today is working on a ...

The muon mismatch was caused by calculation limits, not a new force. Improved methods bring theory and experiment into close ...

Prof Stephen Hawking’s closest collaborator explains emerging evidence supporting the cosmologist’s final thoughts on time ...

Physicists have long suspected that there is a layer of physical reality beneath quantum theory and a new mathematical model ...

During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String theory has not, however, fulfilled expectations. That is why we are of the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. This article is more than 8 years old. A day or two ago, Sabine ...

I HAVE a confession to make: I’m bored of quantum mechanics. This is an odd thing for a physicist to admit, but the most successful theory of modern physics has started to leave me cold. Perhaps I ...
