There's the textbook answer, then there's the real answer.
Maybe our understanding of quantum entanglement is incomplete, or maybe there is something fundamentally unique about consciousness.
Your mentors made time for you. Now, go and make time for others.
The stars circle each other every 51 minutes, confirming a decades-old prediction.
Early relics and late-time objects give incompatible results for the expanding Universe. This independent anomaly intensifies the problem.
"Even with my training, I still got insights from the book’s descriptions. That’s how good Carroll is at explaining physics."
Holograms preserve all of an object's 3D information, but on a 2D surface. Could the holographic Universe idea lead us to higher dimensions?
Over the past 50 years, 27 leap seconds have been added to our time.
An average undergraduate student in physics is better than the AI.
In our common experience, you can't get something for nothing. In the quantum realm, something really can emerge from nothing.
Einstein's "happiest thought" led to General Relativity's formulation. Would a different profound insight have led us forever astray?
If you want a medication to kick in faster, lean right.
The key problem with the dark matter hypothesis is that nobody knows what form dark matter might take.
What we call "basic research" is actually the most cutting-edge. It underpins knowledge, and without it, technology does not come into being.
The surface of asteroid Bennu is more like a plastic ball pit than the Moon.
Searching for dark matter, the XENON collaboration found absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Here's why that's an extraordinary feat.
We live in a four-dimensional Universe, where matter and energy curve the fabric of spacetime. But time sure is different from space!
The neutrino is the most ghostly, rarely-interacting particle in all the Standard Model. How well can we truly make "beams" out of them?
From the explosions themselves to their unique and vibrant colors, the fireworks displays we adore require quantum physics.
Popular media often frame scientists as having a cold, sterile view of the world. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
