We consider a vacuum to be the lowest energy state of the Universe. But it's possible that there's an even lower-energy, more ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

Physicists have long suspected that there is a layer of physical reality beneath quantum theory and a new mathematical model ...

In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...

Few concepts in physics are as familiar, yet as enigmatic, as time. In Einstein's theory of relativity, time is not absolute: ...

Physicists have modelled a quantum mechanism that can result in the end of the universe through the mechanism of false vacuum ...

A new method developed at LMU overcomes fundamental resolution limits and may provide insights into high-temperature ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Atomic clocks are already precise enough to measure tiny effects of relativity, such as time dilation; for example, if you ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades in the making, could help physicists probe the relationship between quantum ...

Group theory isn’t just abstract math—it’s the hidden framework behind symmetry, structure, and transformation in everything from cryptography to quantum physics. It connects elegant patterns to ...
