David Severn has taken a series of images of scientists working on quantum physics for King’s College London’s new Quantum ...

On a December day, Richard Feynman gave a fun little lecture at Caltech — and dreamed up an entirely new field of physics. During the talk, entitled "Plenty of room at the bottom," he described the ...

Chinese researchers have proposed a simple yet powerful theory to explain one of physics’ oldest puzzles: why time only moves forward and why travelling to the past remains impossible. Physicist Cai ...

Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems. The law is a bedrock of physics, but has long ...

Scientific discovery rarely arrives in a single, dramatic moment. It usually emerges through careful experiments, revised equations, unexpected field observations, and years of incremental progress.
