Some of the universe’s densest objects can twist, stretch, and resonate in ways that challenge even the most seasoned ...

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

At the universe's grandest scales, galaxy clusters collide in slow-motion cataclysms, leaving behind immense, ghostly arcs — vast ribbons of diffuse radio emissions that can stretch across millions of ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

Albert Einstein's 100-year-old theory about gravitational waves has been proved correct. And now the breakthrough has been recognised with the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics. Scientists working with the ...

A team of researchers have extended Berry’s well-known geometric-dynamic decomposition from the wave-evolution phase to a distinct class of wave scattering problems Wave scattering events can now be ...

One of the most important open questions in science is how our consciousness is established. In the 1990s, long before winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his prediction of black holes, ...
