Thermodynamics was built to describe steam engines and stars, yet the same equations now sit at the heart of quantum ...

A new paper published in Nature Communications could put scientists on the path to understanding one of the wildest, hottest, ...

Researchers have devised a new way to define thermodynamic concepts in microscopic quantum systems, where conventional distinctions between heat and work begin to blur. Researchers at the University o ...

In 1999, Belgian physicist Chris Van Den Broeck implemented a minor alteration to Alcubierre’s concept by shrinking the ...

If the theory is correct, 'mysterious' phenomena such as telepathy, near-death experiences, and even life after death could ...

Physicists have demonstrated with unprecedented accuracy that the speed of light remains constant. In 1887, a landmark physics experiment was carried out by American researchers Michelson and Morley.

For years, the idea that we might be living inside a vast computer program has drifted from philosophy seminars into ...

The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

Consciousness is fundamental; only thereafter do time, space and matter arise. This is the starting point for a new theoretical model of the nature of reality, presented by Maria Strømme, Professor of ...

In 1919, physicist Theodor Kaluza hypothesized that extra dimensions might solve some outstanding problems in physics. And ...
