"We really needed the sensitivity of JWST. We also needed the 100 times magnification from gravitational lensing from a ...

By transforming robot motion into a problem of relativistic geometry, scientists have created a control method that guides ...

Let’s rewind the clock back…oh, I don’t know, let’s say a hundred years. It was 1917, and Einstein had just developed his ...

"The key result is that while many alternatives look very similar to the 'standard' black hole at today's image quality, the ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...

Humanity has achieved remarkable feats, yet 95% of the universe remains invisible and unexplained. Our theories, general ...

Kellogg Stelle was a professor of physics at Imperial College London for decades until his death last month. In 1977, he developed a particle theory of gravity that’s renormalizable, but the theory’s ...

Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if ...

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

We live in the present, moving through time. As events come and go, everything fades into the past. But what is time, really?

On Nov. 2, Kip Thorne took the stage at Harvey Mudd College’s Galileo Auditorium to recount his 50 year odyssey of making ...

New evidence from the gravitational-wave event GW230814 shows that when two black holes merge, the horizon area of the ...
