Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

In 2022 three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for proving something astonishing: the universe is not locally real. In other words, particles don’t have fixed properties until they are ...

When you look up at the night sky, it appears unchanging. But if you look deep enough you will find that the sky is in fact ...

We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These ...

Earth rotates, the Sun rotates, the Milky Way rotates – and a new model suggests the entire Universe could be rotating. If confirmed, it could ease a significant tension in cosmology. So for a new ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

“For the last 20 years, people believed that the cosmological constant is positive, and the universe will expand forever,” says Tye, a professor emeritus at Cornell. A positive constant acts like a ...

On Thursday, February 6, 2025, Professor Jamie Nagle captivated an audience of students, staff, faculty, and community members during the 125 th Distinguished Research Lecture hosted by CU Boulder’s ...

UC Santa Cruz physicist Stefano Profumo has put forward two imaginative but scientifically grounded theories that may help solve one of the biggest mysteries in physics: the origin of dark matter. In ...

Physicists have been puzzling over conflicting observational results pertaining to the accelerating expansion rate of our Universe—a major discovery recognized by the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. New ...

The “horizon” he points to isn’t a doorway to the divine, other scientists say. Yet, modern physics has been trying to answer questions once left to religion.
