This article explores how our understanding of the universe has evolved—from the scale of everyday experience down to the ...

Space-time is the map of where and when events happen. A worldline is the record of every event that occurs throughout one’s life. The key question is whether the map — or all the events it draws ...

Recent discoveries in the field of quantum physics have identified a new class of particles known as anyons, which hold the potential to bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and classical physics.

She has helped robots learn to get around indoors and pick up balls from the ground. And she has developed computer programs ...

Vacuum tunnelling – an exotic process by which empty space can become temporarily filled with virtual particles when an ...

The principle that “every action has an equal and opposite reaction” is familiar to most through the lens of classical physics, as articulated in Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Simultaneously, the ethi ...

While some stories are better when things are moving slow, sci-fi is often at its most fun when things are moving at warp speed. For instance, a fighter craft is probably faster than a capital ship in ...
