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 ...

The constancy of the speed of light is a pillar of modern physics, but questions persist about its absolute universality.

Quantum batteries could one day revolutionize energy storage through what seems like a paradox – the bigger the battery, the faster it charges. For the first time, a team of scientists has now ...

How would our world be viewed by observers moving faster than light in a vacuum? Such a picture would be clearly different from what we encounter every day. We should expect to see not only phenomena ...

In the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy, “Heisenberg, Werner” lies between “Heidegger, Martin” and “Hell.” That is precisely where he belongs. Heisenberg, one of the inventors of quantum mechanics ...

shred (ʃrɛd), verb (intransitive, slang): to play an electric guitar using sets of notes in a way that produces a sound that is distorted (i.e. strange and sometimes unpleasant) – a rather dubious ...

Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more ...
