The flux capacitor is the essential component of Doc Brown's time machine. Without it, time travel isn't possible. Here's how it works.

In a levitation breakthrough, scientists have created a virtually frictionless, macroscale levitating disk that requires no ...

For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein's general relativity explains gravity as the bending of space and time. Quantum mechanics governs the world of particles ...

Physicists are eyeing charged gravitinos—ultra-heavy, stable particles from supergravity theory—as possible Dark Matter candidates. Unlike axions or WIMPs, these particles carry electric charge but ...

Phonons are indeed recognized as vibrations of the lattice that transport heat energy in solids. To contemplate on the idea ...

New satellite data show Earth’s magnetic field changing fast, with a growing weak spot over the South Atlantic.

This study aimed to evaluate diurnal and seasonal trends in aerodynamic conductance over a grassland surface. A simple ...

The Hubble tension just got tenser — with new measurements revealing that the universe is expanding faster than our current understanding of physics can explain. Over the past decade, cosmology has ...
