Bengaluru: A formula on pi (π) written by Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan 111 years ago matches with modern-day physics that describes black holes, swirling fluids and the expanding universe, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Eddy Keming Chen is a philosopher of physics at the University of California, San Diego. Was there ever any choice in the Universe being as it is? Albert Einstein could have been wondering about this ...

For over a century, physics has operated under a strict double standard. Everyday objects like baseballs and planets move according to the predictable laws of classical mechanics, while subatomic ...

Once described by Einstein as “spooky action at a distance,” quantum entanglement may now seem less intimidating in light of new research findings. Osaka Metropolitan University physicists have ...

"Wave-particle duality is the cornerstone of quantum mechanics," says Xiaofeng Qian, the paper's lead author and an Assistant Professor of Physics at Stevens. "Researchers have been working to ...
