When molecular biologist Francis Crick tripped on the psychedelic drug LSD in 1953, his mind famously pulled together all of his previous research on human DNA to conceive of the image of a double ...

A growing body of theoretical and experimental work in physics is converging on a striking possibility: time, the dimension humans experience as a constant forward flow, may not be a fundamental ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

In a recent study published in Nature Physics, an international team of researchers led by Harvard University have developed a theory that describes controlling a new state of light which they refer ...

New research suggests a physics theory can improve basketball teams by finding their best spots on the court to shoot. It also can improve how teams prepare for upcoming matchups. AP March is bound to ...

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String theory has not, however, fulfilled expectations. That is why we are of the ...

Constructor Theory is the ability to see the deepest underlying facts about the world. The people behind the greatest leaps in physics - Einstein, Newton, Heisenberg, all had the uncanny ability to ...

In this 2011 image, a NASA engineer looks on as the first six of the James Webb Space Telescope's 18 mirror segments are prepped to begin their final cryogenic testing. Engineers spent three decades ...

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.
