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

A neglected force produced by neutrinos and other particles helps atomic physics measurements align with predictions of the standard model.

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they can occupy several possible states at once, a phenomenon known as ...

Paul M. Sutter is an astrophysicist at The Ohio State University, host of "Ask a Spaceman" and "Space Radio," and author of "Your Place in the Universe" (Prometheus Books, 2018). Sutter contributed ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or two to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the universe.

A machine-learning AI can solve physics problems by simplifying them to be more symmetric. “There are many, many cases in the history of science where people thought things were more complicated than ...

Tackling physics problems can feel overwhelming, but reframing them as puzzles makes the process more engaging and effective. By combining pattern recognition, structured problem-solving steps, and ...
