A New Theorem Maps Out the Limits of Quantum Physics
...that it’s time to rethink what we want from a theory, said Jeffrey Bub, a philosopher of physics at the University of Maryland, College Park who works on quantum foundations....
Why Do Matter Particles Come in Threes? A Physics Titan Weighs In.
...know why,” said Heather Logan, a particle physicist at Carleton University. In the 1970s, when physicists first worked out the Standard Model of particle physics — the still-reigning set of...
Axions Would Solve Another Major Problem in Physics
...— counterclockwise — and not the other, it would inject a plus sign into particle physics equations rather than a minus sign, yielding electrons and electron-like particles instead of their...
The Physics Principle That Inspired Modern AI Art
...physics — lay dormant, until two graduate students made technical breakthroughs that brought the beast to life. DALL·E 2 is such a beast. The key insight that makes DALL·E 2’s...
The Year in Physics
...that could bring about the next revolution in physics. These researchers have chipped away at the most tantalizing and recalcitrant problem in theoretical physics: Stephen Hawking’s black hole information paradox....
Physics Nobel Awarded for Black Hole Breakthroughs
Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their studies of black holes. Black holes have recently come into the light. Last year,...
Physics Nobel Honors Early Universe and Exoplanet Discoveries

The Tiny Physics Behind Immense Cosmic Eruptions
...reconnection, tiny physics plays a big role. In particular, it explains why some reconnection events are so stupefyingly fast — and why the strongest seem to occur at a characteristic...
How Physics Found a Geometric Structure for Math to Play With
...decades it has grown from a small collection of insights into a dynamic area of research with deep connections to more areas of math and physics than Hamilton ever could...
