Kieran Brown investigates why a certain soccer ball seems to defy the laws of physics.

Whether it is a cube of sugar or a chunk of a mineral, a mathematical analysis can identify how many fragments of each size ...

The laws of thermodynamics don't accurately account for the complex processes in living cells – do we need a new one to ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

An elegant new equation identifies the surprisingly orderly, mathematical way in which things break, shatter, and fall apart.

The astrophysical phenomena just get more and more interesting.

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.

Step into Miami's Paradox Museum, where the laws of physics seem to bend and your perception of reality gets turned upside ...

The light interacts with the cavity and makes an arbitrary number of bounces before leaking out. This emergent light is traditionally treated as heat in quantum simulations. However, it can still be ...

At a small local chapter meeting of a professional society, Gordon Moore's talk laid out the rudiments of what would become ...

A deep exploration of how entropy, information theory, quantum mechanics, and emergent gravity reshape our understanding of ...
