The universe is a strange, beautiful place—rich with possibilities and governed by the odd rules of quantum mechanics. One of the most mind-bending ideas from this realm is the many-worlds ...

It’s one quantum leap for mankind. Parallel dimensions are no longer restricted to Marvel flicks. Google’s cutting-edge quantum chip Willow has prompted discussions among scientists about the ...

Could our universe be expanding then shrinking back into a tiny point, reliving a kind of big bang over and over again? Probably not, according to a mathematical analysis that argues that the laws of ...

But outside of the lab, the everyday world doesn’t behave this way. Planets, stars, and even cats don’t appear in multiple states at once. The universe follows predictable rules, behaving classically ...

For centuries, the principle of symmetry has guided physicists towards more fundamental truths, but now a slew of shocking ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

When we look at the world at the tiniest scales, things get very weird. Take a wild ride through the quantum world, from the discoveries that reveal its strange rules to the amazing technologies it ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with ...

A recent groundbreaking experiment in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced some scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of ...

John von Neumann came about as close as humanly possible to embodying the Platonic ideal of a genius. Conversant in ancient Greek by age 6, the Hungarian made significant mathematical advances in his ...
