After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

In this 2011 image, a NASA engineer looks on as the first six of the James Webb Space Telescope's 18 mirror segments are prepped to begin their final cryogenic testing. Engineers spent three decades ...

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 ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in Nature Physics, an international team of researchers led by Harvard University have developed a theory that describes controlling a new state of light which they refer ...
