Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...

Mind = blown.

We experience the flow of time because it’s a natural outcome of the basic laws of physics. But we may need to build a whole ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human ...

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics. Now scientists ...

The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

To most of us, time feels as solid as the phone alarm that drags us out of bed or the calendar that fills up faster than we ...
