For more than a century, physics has treated space and time as the smooth stage on which the universe unfolds, a flexible ...

A doomed star spiraling into a supermassive black hole has given physicists one of their clearest looks yet at how gravity ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

Lorentzian geometry forms the mathematical cornerstone of modern spacetime theory by providing a framework in which the causal structure and metric properties of the universe can be rigorously ...

A supermassive black hole was caught twisting spacetime, offering the clearest real-world evidence yet for Einstein’s ...

Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

A recent study published in Nuclear Physics B examines how hidden dimensions might influence the physical reality that we ...

Physicists from the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) have been conducting research on the matter constituting the atomic nucleus, utilizing the world’s three most powerful particle accelerators. Their ...

Theoretical physicists have long debated the possible existence of wormholes, which are mathematically possible, but no evidence points to their physical existence. One theory suggests that these ...
