Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

For more than 200 years, scientists have struggled to pin down the exact strength of gravity — and one physicist spent a decade chasing the answer while keeping his own results hidden from himself.

Dark energy—a mysterious force pushing the universe apart at an ever-increasing rate—was discovered 26 years ago, and ever since, scientists have been searching for a new and exotic particle causing ...

Albert Einstein postulated in his 1905 theory of special relativity that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant. Ever since, that’s been one of the fundamental assumptions of physics. Now Enbang ...

A new argument explores how the growth of disorder could cause massive objects to move toward one another. Physicists are both interested and skeptical. Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his ...

Gravity is the force with which we’re most familiar. It’s what’s keeping you on the planet, even as you’re reading this. Despite gravity feeling deeply intertwined with our daily lives, scientists are ...
