A team led by UNIGE has shown that the most mysterious component of our Universe follows the laws of classical physics, though some doubts still remain. Does dark matter obey the same physical laws as ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

Students and faculty of UC Santa Barbara’s physics department gathered in Corwin Pavilion for the department’s annual Nobel Prize-focused colloquium on Oct. 14. This year’s event was particularly spec ...

Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, ...

From your morning coffee to the road leading to your office and all other things and people you experience in your everyday ...

A pair of scientists from the UK recently published a pre-print research paper discussing the theory of a universe with no beginning. Imagine it: our universe has always existed. The Big Bang either ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect ...

Artificial intelligence opens the door to a new way of doing science, one in which we are not the only ones capable of ...

Going to smaller and smaller distance scales reveals more fundamental views of nature, which means if we can understand and describe the smallest scales, we can build our way to an understanding of ...
