Largest-ever computer simulation of the universe escalates cosmology dilemma
The first efforts toward simulating all components of the universe fail to resolve the S8 tension. Is the standard theory of cosmology in trouble?
What is an attosecond? A physical chemist explains the tiny time scale behind Nobel Prize-winning research
How long is an attosecond, and what can these infinitesimally short pulses tell researchers about the nature of matter?
China is building the world's largest underwater telescope to hunt for elusive 'ghost particles'
China's forthcoming Tropical Deep-sea Neutrino Telescope (TRIDENT) will search for the origins of cosmic rays in momentary flashes of light beneath the ocean's surface.
How did the universe's elements form?
We all know the universe contains a vast array of elements, ranging from light gases, such as helium, to heavy metals, like lead. But where did all of the elements come from?
Scientists propose 'missing' law for the evolution of everything in the universe
The "law of increasing functional information" says that complex systems in nature evolve to become more complex.
Why Einstein must be wrong: In search of the theory of gravity
Unlike physical theories describing the other three fundamental forces in physics, the general theory of relativity has only been tested in weak gravity.
Pulsar surprises astronomers with record-breaking gamma-rays
The well-known Vela Pulsar just smashed a record for the highest-energy radiation ever detected from one of these highly magnetized spinning neutron stars.
Nobel Prize in physics awarded to 3 scientists who glimpsed the inner world of atoms with tiny light pulses
The trio devised methods for creating the tiniest slices of light.
