Researchers have been looking at everything, including supernovas, trying to uncover the mysteries of dark matter. Recent scientific studies suggest that dark matter might not be a particle hiding in ...

When a researcher asked Nobel Prize winning physicists and other scientists whether there was any new physics left to discover, this is what they said. The story has been told many times. At the ...

Our standard model of elementary particles and forces has recently become as close to “complete” as we could conceivably ask for. Every single one of the elementary particles — in all their different ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Did the early universe have just one spatial dimension? That's the mind-boggling concept at the heart of a theory that University at Buffalo physicist Dejan Stojkovic and colleagues ...

Surprisingly, there are ways to peer into hidden dimensions without having to access them directly. Imagine rolling up a tube ...

For the first time, physicists have built a two-dimensional experimental system that allows them to study the physical properties of materials theorized to exist only in four-dimensional space. An ...

A new theory claims to have solved five of the biggest problems in physics all at once. The theory was developed by a group of French physicists at the University of Paris-Saclay, and it introduces a ...

The theoretical particle physicist Ann Nelson, who died on August 4 at age 61, was a font of brilliant ideas and a champion of ending discrimination in the field. The Standard Model of particle ...

From solar panels to nanoscale machines, physics applications of origami and kirigami have surged in recent years. Simon Perks reports (Courtesy: iStock/Li Kim Goh) We’ve all admired the delicate ...
