From high school through the professional ranks, physicists never tire of Newton's second law.

No matter how controversial or politicized our world becomes, science remains humanity's best tool for figuring out how things work.

Quantum mechanics + consciousness: There is nothing better than mixing two great mysteries to produce an even bigger one.

Many still cling to the idea that we live in a deterministic Universe, despite the nature of quantum physics. Now, the "least spooky" interpretation no longer works.

There are over 100 known elements in the periodic table. These 8 ways of making them account for every one.

Quantum physics isn't quite magic, but it requires an entirely novel set of rules to make sense of the quantum universe.

Einstein hated "spooky action at a distance," but much to his chagrin, quantum mechanics remains as spooky as ever.

Chemical energy, where electrons transition in atoms, powers the reactions we see. But two other types hold more promise than all the rest.

It's not for climate science and condensed matter physics. It's for advancing our understanding beyond spherical cows.

The cause of the recent uptick in radiation is unknown, but speculation about another catastrophe at Chernobyl is hyperbolic.

Is the time crystal really an otherworldly revolution, leveraging quantum computing that will change physics forever?

An exclusive interview with physicist Lee Smolin reveals how abandoning Einstein's dream may have been a terrible mistake.

This everyday electrical phenomenon had no widely accepted scientific explanation — perhaps, until now.

A theoretical physicist returns to Penrose and Hameroff's theory of "quantum consciousness."

If the laws of physics are symmetrical as we think they are, then the Big Bang should have created matter and antimatter in the same amount.

Is the physical universe independent from us, or is it created by our minds, as suggested by scientist Robert Lanza?

A thought experiment from 1867 leads scientists to design a groundbreaking information engine.

New studies stretch the boundaries of physics, achieving quantum entanglement in larger systems.

New data have set the particle physics community abuzz.

We're cautiously optimistic about our new findings.

Results from an experiment using the Large Hadron Collider challenges the accepted model of physics.

Starling flocks, schools of fish, and clouds of insects all agree.

A new study explains how a chaotic region just outside a black hole's event horizon might provide a virtually endless supply of energy.

To understand ourselves and our place in the universe, "we should have humility but also self-respect," Frank Wilczek writes in a new book.

Can computers do calculations in multiple universes? Scientists are working on it. Step into the world of quantum computing.

University of Tokyo scientists observe predicted quantum biochemical effects on cells.

How close are we to human teleportation? Successes in quantum teleportation experiments abound.

Fewer galaxies are seen nearby and at great distances than at intermediate ones, but that’s due to a combination of galaxy mergers and evolution and also being unable to see […]

Lederman helped promote the importance of particle physics to the general public and his research laid the groundwork for the Standard Model.

BASE particle physicists have discovered a very precise way to examine antimatter.
