No new particles have been found at the Large Hadron Collider since the Higgs boson in 2012, but physicists say there’s much we can still learn from the Higgs itself.

A state-of-the-art supercomputer simulation indicates that a feedback loop between global warming and cloud loss can push Earth’s climate past a disastrous tipping point in as little as a century.

Physicists have devised a holographic model of “de Sitter space,” the term for a universe like ours, that could give us new clues about the origin of space and time.

Priyamvada Natarajan has pioneered the mapping and modeling of the universe’s invisible contents, especially dark matter and supermassive black holes.

The same codes needed to thwart errors in quantum computers may also give the fabric of space-time its intrinsic robustness.

The field of fundamental physics is experiencing both a period of confusion and an openness to new ideas.

Two independent papers vanquish lingering doubts about LIGO’s historic discovery of gravitational waves.

The renowned physicist Leonard Susskind has identified a possible quantum origin for the ever-growing volume of black holes.

Experiments suggest that exotic superconducting materials share a “strange metal” state characterized by a quantum speed limit that somehow acts as a fundamental organizing principle.
