Physicists isolated the ‘last sound’ of a black hole collision, providing an unprecedented glimpse of the region right next ...

Over the past few decades, engineers have developed various devices that can create holograms, three-dimensional (3D) or ...

This video turns spacetime into a cosmic threat, asking whether the fabric of reality can actually break. It explains ...

Werner Heisenberg's famous uncertainty principle describes one of the most intriguing features of quantum physics: certain pairs of physical quantities describing a particle, such as position and ...

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) revealed a distant planet located 40,000 light-years away using microlensing for the first time.

TESS uses the transit method. When a planet passes in front of its stars, it dims the starlight by a small fraction. If this dimming repeats at regular intervals, you have a likel ...

Modern physics is weird. In quantum mechanics we have the Schrodinger’s cat thought experiment, a cat in a quantum ...

Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful ...

The question of how gravity interacts with the quantum world has long perplexed physicists, but a non-quantum theory of space ...

A new technique will enable astrophysicists to study the strength of extreme gravity at the black hole’s horizon. Credit: Australian National University On a January morning in 2025, a ripple in the ...
