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

In the rarefied world of theoretical physics, where Albert Einstein’s shadow still looms large, Harvard University and ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

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 ...

CERN's new supercollider will be 8 times more powerful than the LHC, the largest and most powerful in the world. Physicists could use it to solve mysteries about the nature of our universe. Based on ...

The branch of mathematics known as topology has become a cornerstone of modern physics thanks to the remarkable -- and above all reliable -- properties it can impart to a material or system.

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

In this last part of our series on recently digitized books from the Wenner Collection, we are focusing on works that ...
