For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

Physicists are still puzzling over the true nature of dark matter and dark energy, because they have inexplicably added 10 times as much mass as normal matter has to the universe. Looking at the ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...
