There’s a lot of discussion about “time” in the world of quantum physics. At the micro level, where waves and particles can behave the same, time tends to be much more malleable than it is in our ...

Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...

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 ...

Achintya Rao reviews When the Uncertainty Principle Goes to 11: Or How to Explain Quantum Physics with Heavy Metal by Philip Moriarty Alternative take: Philip Moriarty uses heavy metal as a basis to ...

Or, alternatively, ask associate professor of physics Matthew Headrick about his research. Headrick works on one of the most cutting-edge theories in theoretical physics — the holographic principle.

In 1905, a 26-year-old patent office clerk named Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity, advancing physics research worldwide. In 2005, the World Year of Physics is celebrated to ...

March is bound to get even madder. Scientists at Cornell University have put together a data model that suggests that the application of a physics theory to basketball may lead to teams scoring five ...

Can a theory that isn’t completely testable still be useful to physics? What determines if an idea is legitimately scientific or not? This question has been debated by philosophers and historians of ...

From theories of pedestrian movement and traffic flow to voting processes, economic markets and war, researchers are striving towards a physics of society People physics “It may be”, said US ...
