Later work by others built on this, showing that these energy levels are a fundamental part of how the universe works at the ...

In a new Nature Physics study, researchers created particle-like so-called “vortex knots” inside chiral nematic liquid ...

In the dense environment of the early universe, dark matter particles would collide with, and annihilate, each other, ...

A new study reveals that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s century-old formulas for calculating pi unexpectedly emerge within modern theories of critical phenomena, turbulence, and black holes. In school, many of ...

In 1867, Lord Kelvin pictured atoms as tiny knots in an invisible medium called the ether. That picture turned out to be wrong, since atoms are built ...

Knotted structures once imagined by Lord Kelvin may actually have shaped the universe’s earliest moments, according to new ...

Since childhood, we’ve been told gravity is the force that holds everything together — but what if that idea is incomplete, ...

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.

How confusing inevitability with reality built decades of paradox. What if general relativity never actually tells us that black holes already exist, but only that their formation is inevitable in an ...

Most school science lessons start with particles and forces. Matter comes first. Atoms build molecules, molecules build cells, cells build brains, and only then, when a nervous system becomes ...

(CNN) — The universe’s expansion might not be accelerating but slowing down, a new study suggests. If confirmed, the finding would upend decades of established astronomical assumptions and rewrite our ...
