AALTO, Finland — Scientists have potentially solved what many consider physics’ most challenging problem – reconciling Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics, without adding any new ...

Researchers have been looking at everything, including supernovas, trying to uncover the mysteries of dark matter. Recent scientific studies suggest that dark matter might not be a particle hiding in ...

When a researcher asked Nobel Prize winning physicists and other scientists whether there was any new physics left to discover, this is what they said. The story has been told many times. At the ...

Our standard model of elementary particles and forces has recently become as close to “complete” as we could conceivably ask for. Every single one of the elementary particles — in all their different ...

Could the universe have hidden dimensions we’ve yet to detect? The idea of extra dimensions has intrigued physicists for over ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Did the early universe have just one spatial dimension? That's the mind-boggling concept at the heart of a theory that University at Buffalo physicist Dejan Stojkovic and colleagues ...

For the first time, physicists have built a two-dimensional experimental system that allows them to study the physical properties of materials theorized to exist only in four-dimensional space. An ...

A new theory claims to have solved five of the biggest problems in physics all at once. The theory was developed by a group of French physicists at the University of Paris-Saclay, and it introduces a ...

From solar panels to nanoscale machines, physics applications of origami and kirigami have surged in recent years. Simon Perks reports (Courtesy: iStock/Li Kim Goh) We’ve all admired the delicate ...
