Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

The natural complexity of the universe should phase out the possibility of some advanced civilization controlling reality itself, researchers argue.

Can physics predict the future? This video explores the concept of predictability in the universe, starting with the ...

Episode 4, Peacemaker brings us deeper into the mystery of the Quantum Unfolding Chamber (QUC) as Chris Smith is forced to go ...

Qubits differ from classical bits, which are coded as only 0 or 1. A qubit can be a combination of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. One way to think of it is as a coin spinning between a 0 and a 1 axis.

The experiment at CERN produced pairs of electron and positron beams, propagating into an ambient plasma. The international team of researchers found that the beams were narrow and nearly parallel, ...

When I introduced Steven Pinker, it felt like our worldviews couldn't have been more different. Here's why that dissonance was exactly the point.

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.
