Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible ...

Physicists are exploring whether hidden dimensions and the shape of space could help explain why fundamental particles have ...

The masses of fundamental particles such as the Z and W bosons could have arisen from the twisted geometry of hidden ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She calculated that collisions involving three different types of subatomic ...

Eric Weinstein proposes a Geometric Unity theory. It is presented to argue that the seemingly baroque features of the standard model of particle physics are in fact inexorable and geometrically ...

Interacting system: A diagram of the researchers' four-qubit superconducting quantum chip. (Courtesy: Y Yu) Researchers at Nanjing University in China have used a superconducting quantum chip to ...

I didn’t find math particularly exciting when I was in high school. To be honest, I only studied it when I went to university because it initially seemed quite easy to me. But in my very first math ...

Modern physics began with a sweeping unification: in 1687 Isaac Newton showed that the existing jumble of disparate theories describing everything from planetary motion to tides to pendulums were all ...
