A new study by Queen Mary University of London mathematician Professor Ginestra Bianconi proposes a new perspective on one of ...

Legend has it that Isaac Newton had the moment of inspiration that would lead to his theory of gravity when, on a warm afternoon, he saw an apple fall from a tree and wondered why it should fall down ...

Gravity from Entropy theory offers a new resolution to one of physics' oldest paradoxes: how the universe builds galaxies and ...

The question of how gravity interacts with the quantum world has long perplexed physicists, but a non-quantum theory of space-time could present an answer ...

A substance called antimatter is at the heart of one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. We know that every particle has an antimatter companion that is virtually identical to itself, but with ...

EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, you can see gravity’s fingerprint. It’s in the path the moon takes around Earth each night and the humbling thump when you wipe out on an icy patch of sidewalk. The force of ...

All the fundamental forces are thought to be carried by a particle, but a new mathematical model suggests gravity may be a striking exception. Building on a decades-old idea, researchers have revealed ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

Isaac Newton confessed that he had no idea what gravity was. The 17th century English polymath knew what it did, and he described it with a universal law of gravitation. But where the law came from, ...
