They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

For the first time, researchers in China have accurately quantified how chaos increases in a quantum many-body system as it evolves over time. Combining experiments and theory, a team led by Yu-Chen ...

Theoretical research led by Professor Enrique Gaztañaga of the University of Portsmouth challenges the ...

Looming behind Regenstein Library is a bronze, mushroom cloud–shaped sculpture—Henry Moore’s Nuclear Energy. Installed in 1967, it now seems like an inconspicuous part of the campus landscape. In ...

Einstein–Rosen bridges may reflect a two-directional structure of time that preserves information and hints at a pre–Big Bang universe.

Introduction Envision our digital world as a sprawling universe filled with glittering constellations of encrypted data, each packet of information ...

The Motherboard of Reality: The simulation does not assume space is naturally 3D. Based on established lattice gauge theory, the code’s baseline operator continuously “stitches” minimal ...

EPFL researchers have shown theoretically that, in highly ordered materials, heat can flow toward warmer regions without ...

OpenAI's GPT-5.2 has derived a new formula for gluon interactions, overturning assumptions of zero amplitude and advancing theoretical physics.

Chemistry World provides expert, independent science journalism for the global chemical science community. We are part of the Royal Society of Chemistry, a charity, learned society and professional ...

Scientists used entangled X-ray photon pairs to produce ghost images of tiny samples, a proof of concept that could enable longer, lower-dose studies of delicate biological materials.
