Scientists are testing a novel way to measure cosmic expansion using time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars. Their ...

If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster ...

There is an important and unresolved tension in cosmology regarding the rate at which the universe is expanding, and ...

By establishing a larger principle for how things shatter, certain energy-intensive tasks could gain an advantage.

New measurements using gravitational lensing suggest the universe’s current expansion rate does not agree with signals from the early cosmos.

It’s a powerful technique, but small uncertainties at each step can add up, something critics argue may be behind the Hubble ...

Theoretical chemist’s insights are now embedded into computer software used to predict the behaviour of molecules from pharmaceuticals to construction materials ...

A Blender render farm is a pool of machines working on your job at the same time. Instead of one computer moving through your ...

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Tim Hsieh of Canada’s Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. We explore some of today’s hottest topics in quantum science and technology ...

But the Big Bang theory predicts that about 5% of the universe’s contents should be atoms made of protons, neutrons and electrons. Most of those atoms cannot be found in stars and galaxies – a ...

Newton’s breakthroughs were not born from instant inspiration but from years of meticulous observation, calculation, ...
