Is the Great Neutrino Puzzle Pointing to Multiple Missing Particles?
...and half results. In recent years, they’ve devised new theories that are more complicated than the sterile neutrino, but which, if correct, would thoroughly revolutionize physics — resolving anomalies in...
The Two Faces of Space-Time
A mysterious phenomenon known as duality often leads to new discoveries in physics. This time, space-time itself can sometimes be two things at once. Anyone who has seen the classic...
Do We Need a New Theory of Gravity?
...is a professor of theoretical physics and the deputy head of the physics department at Imperial College London. Her research lies at the intersection of particle physics, gravity and cosmology....
A New Idea for How to Assemble Life
...unlikely things, such as you and me, even exist at all. And it seeks that explanation not, in the usual manner of physics, in timeless physical laws, but in a...
Can Thermodynamics Go Quantum?
...might mean in the age of quantum mechanics. The principles of thermodynamics are cornerstones of our understanding of physics. But they were discovered in the era of steam-driven technology, long...
Echoes of Electromagnetism Found in Number Theory
...and he had used the physics framework they provided to think about questions in geometric Langlands. But that work — let alone the physics paper that helped motivate it —...
In a Numerical Coincidence, Some See Evidence for String Theory
...at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, and the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Sao Paulo, Brazil. “So these corrections are our first way to tell...
John Wheeler Saw the Tear in Reality
Until his dying days, the giant of 20th-century physics obsessed over the underpinnings of space and time, and how we can all share the same version of them. Back in...
In a ‘Dark Dimension,’ Physicists Search for the Universe’s Missing Matter
...“allows us to make connections between string theory, quantum gravity, particle physics and cosmology, [while] addressing some of the mysteries related to them,” said Ignatios Antoniadis, a physicist at Sorbonne...
