The physics preceptor sat down with Fifteen Minutes to discuss New York City, interdisciplinarity, and the origins of math.

But here’s the catch: the theory fails to explain why some materials, like high-temperature superconductors, maintain their ...

There’s a lot of discussion about “time” in the world of quantum physics. At the micro level, where waves and particles can behave the same, time tends to be much more malleable than it is in our ...

A physicist proposes that consciousness is the fundamental basis of reality, with matter and spacetime emerging from it.

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

Imagine trying to prove that 1+1=2, but when you do the calculations, it turns out that the result is off by 0.1%. That scenario is similar to the riddle that’s facing physicists worldwide as they try ...

Over the short span of just 300 years, since the invention of modern physics, we have gained a deeper understanding of how our universe works on both small and large scales. Yet, physics is still very ...

An international team of researchers shows through a concrete theoretical experiment that the prediction by standard complex quantum theory cannot be expressed by its real counterpart and ratifies its ...

When molecular biologist Francis Crick tripped on the psychedelic drug LSD in 1953, his mind famously pulled together all of his previous research on human DNA to conceive of the image of a double ...
