Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics.

Serious Star Trek fans are familiar with the term nacelles—the long, cylindrical engines that power the Starship Enterprise—but in an interview with The Debrief, White ssaidays the nacelles (technically Gaussian cylinders) are much more than just an homage.

Physics World is delighted to announce its Top 10 Breakthroughs of the Year for 2025, which includes research in astronomy, antimatter, atomic and molecular physics and more. The Top Ten is the shortlist for the Physics World Breakthrough of the Year, which will be revealed on Thursday 18 December.

Every generation grows up with starships that jump across galaxies in a heartbeat, but the real universe is far less forgiving than the screen. The same physics that lets GPS satellites work and particle accelerators hit their marks also sets a hard ceiling on how fast anything with mass or information can move,

A new technique allows complex interactions in materials to be simulated using Monte Carlo simulations thousands of times faster than before.

By partnering with artificial intelligence (AI), a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has solved a long-standing physics problem and uncovered the mathematical trickery that underlies the generalization of recently discovered,

Researchers from TUM, working at CERN, have made a groundbreaking discovery that reveals how deuterons are formed. Another long-standing question in particle physics has been answered. Scientists working with the ALICE experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC),

Discover what the next wave of AI-assisted drug discovery looks like and how it can help biotech - the AI and physics combo.

Knots are everywhere—from tangled headphones to DNA strands packed inside viruses—but how an isolated filament can knot itself without collisions or external agitation has remained a longstanding puzzle in soft-matter physics.

Reddit’s r/cars served up a spicy physics refresher this week after one user asked a deceptively simple question: does the weight of a car affect the people inside it? The post quickly racked up votes

Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter weren't able to crack the dark matter problem, but a team of experts might have figured it out.
