“The three-dimensional world of ordinary experience—the universe filled with galaxies, stars, planets, houses, boulders, and people—is a hologram, an image of reality coded on a distant ...

In this episode, Shini explores sea level, kinetic theory, and phase changes. How the heck do we map out a planet without oceans? There's some tricky, yet fascinating science behind all of it! In this ...

Although the laws of physics explain much of the world around us, we still do not have a realistic description of causality in truly complex hierarchical structures. The atomic theory of matter and ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits.

The fundamental particles of the universe that physicists have identified—electrons, neutrinos, quarks, and so on—are the "letters" of all matter. Just like their linguistic counterparts, they appear ...

Physicists are trying to rewrite the axioms of quantum theory from scratch in an effort to understand what it all means. The problem? They’ve been almost too successful. Scientists have been using ...

Scientists are like prospectors, excavating the natural world seeking gems of knowledge about physical reality. And in the century just past, scientists have dug deep enough to discover that reality’s ...

Physicists are still chasing the dream of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking to capture the workings of the entire universe in a single equation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
