The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure and stability of matter. Now an international collaboration of physicists ...

One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or rather, the shortage thereof—in the now 6,000+ exoplanets confirmed to date.

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

Albert Einstein reminds us through this quote that true intelligence lies in clarity, not complexity. If you can explain an idea simply, it means you truly understand it. Complicated words may impress ...

The English physicist was diagnosed with ALS at age 21 and managed to live 55 years longer than science predicted.

Explore the mysteries of black holes with this detailed explanation of escape velocity for light! This video breaks down the physics behind why light cannot escape a black hole, connecting concepts ...

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its centre but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark matter exerting the same gravitational influence, astronomers say. They ...

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...

Physicists have directly mapped a hidden kind of geometry inside quantum materials that steers electrons in ways strikingly ...

A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision—and a powerful way to test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed ...

A new theoretical study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory has identified the ...
