A doctoral student from the University of Sydney’s School of Physics re-created a little bit of the universe in a bottle.

For a century, the Schrödinger equation has been the bedrock of quantum mechanics, successfully predicting how matter behaves as a wave. Yet, physics has lacked a fundamental explanation for why ...

The universe feels three-dimensional — but some of the deepest physics suggests reality may have 11 dimensions hidden from our senses. This idea comes from theories like string theory and M-theory, ...

A planet orbiting seven suns sounds like pure science fiction — the kind of system that should collapse into chaos instantly. But astronomers have discovered multi-star systems that stay stable far ...

Shapley’s award of the 2026 Dannie Heineman Prize for Astrophysics will be presented at the 249th AAS Meeting, Jan. 10-14, ...

Can a single particle have a temperature? It may seem impossible with our standard understanding of temperature, but columnist Jacklin Kwan finds that it’s not exactly ruled out in the quantum realm ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been ...

A surprising new set of objects in space with mismatched parts has been discovered by University of Missouri astronomers, ...

Astronomers have produced the most detailed map yet of dark matter, revealing the invisible framework that shaped the Universe long before stars and galaxies formed. Using powerful new observations ...

Stuart Jefferies, Georgia State University professor of physics and astronomy, along with students and international space scientists, have taken up the challenge to find lifeforms across the two ...

In the very first moments after the Big Bang, the universe looked nothing like it does today. Instead of stars, atoms, or ...
