Why Information, Not Matter, May Be the True Foundation of Reality - Rethinking Reality Through Physics, Information, ...

Quasicrystals are orderly structures that never repeat. Scientists just showed they can exist in space and time.

This breathtaking clue about the architecture of consciousness supports a Nobel-Prize winner’s theory about how quantum physics works in your brain.

In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.

A new theory suggests the universe’s greatest secrets are hiding in a “zeptouniverse” that’s ready to be explored—without ...

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

The puzzle Einstein and Rosen were addressing was never about space travel, but about how quantum fields behave in curved spacetime. I ...

“For the last 20 years, people believed that the cosmological constant is positive, and the universe will expand forever,” says Tye, a professor emeritus at Cornell. A positive constant acts like a ...

Physicists have been puzzling over conflicting observational results pertaining to the accelerating expansion rate of our Universe—a major discovery recognized by the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. New ...

A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.

The shape of the cosmos depends on a balance of two competing forces: the pull of gravity and the expansion driven by dark ...

New data from major dark-energy observatories suggest the universe may not expand forever after all. A Cornell physicist calculates that the cosmos is heading toward a dramatic reversal: after ...
