Nearly everything in the universe is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy, yet we can’t see either of them directly ...

An analysis of several experiments aimed at detecting the mysterious neutrino has identified a hint of a crack in the ...

Brown University physics Prof. Stephon Alexander spoke on how the analysis of musical elements can help astrophysicists understand patterns of the universe in his lecture “The Jazz of Physics” ...

In some interpretations of quantum mechanics, such as the Many-Worlds interpretation or the Pilot Wave Theory, parallel universes may form every time a subatomic particle goes through any interaction.

According to all the known laws of physics, the Big Bang should have created a Universe consisting of both matter and ...

Our universe started with a bang that blasted everything into existence. But what happened next is a mystery. Scientists think that before atoms formed—or even the protons and neutrons they’re made of ...

A quarter of a century ago a conjec­ture shook the world of theoretical physics. It had the aura of revelation. “At first, we had a magical statement ... almost out of nowhere,” says Mark Van ...
