Black holes are often described as cosmic traps from which nothing can escape, yet modern physics says they are not perfectly black. At their edges, quantum effects make them glow with a faint thermal ...

Scientists aim to build the first graviton detector to explore gravity's quantum nature, despite significant challenges.

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

Learn how researchers used Einstein’s theory of general relativity to create the most accurate simulations to date. Think of a black hole, and you might imagine a literal dark hole, but contrary to ...

Small household appliances with electric heating coils and brushed DC motors—such as hairdryers, toasters and air fryers—are significant sources of ultrafine particles (UFP) that may pose health risks ...
