"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Every generation grows up with starships that jump across galaxies in a heartbeat, but the real universe is far less ...

If you drop a light object and a heavy object from a tower, which one reaches the ground first? As you may recall from high school physics, this is a trick question. Neglecting air resistance, they ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

A scientific experiment aimed at detecting dark matter in space launched from Antarctica on December 15, with significant ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...
