The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

No two snowflakes may be the same, but models that fail to take these variations into consideration often fall short when ...

Most materials, especially metals and ceramics, are crystals. Their atoms are arranged in three-dimensional lattices that repeat the same exact pattern, over and over again. But there's a well-known ...

Theoretical physicists collaborate with OpenAI's artificial intelligence to solve complex calculations involving gluons and gravitons in quantum physics research.

A team of physicists has uncovered a hidden topological structure within one of the most widely used sources of quantum entanglement.

The Editorial Board of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has selected six papers published by PNAS in 2025 to receive the Cozzarelli Prize, an award that recognizes ...
