Scientists have long believed that foam behaves like glass, with bubbles locked into place. New simulations reveal that ...

This is where Emmy Noether, a groundbreaking German mathematician, comes into the picture. She found a breathtakingly simple ...

Researchers have proven that a fundamental law of physics applies in the quantum realm. The principle of least action dictates that objects will (unless interfered with) always move along the route ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

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

"Opposites charges attract; like charges repel" is a long-held fundamental principle of physics that you might have heard at school, but your teacher may have been wrong. Researchers from the ...

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that ...

Ask DALL·E 2, an image generation system created by OpenAI, to paint a picture of “goldfish slurping Coca-Cola on a beach,” and it will spit out surreal images of exactly that. The program would have ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...
