Recent theoretical advances have underscored the significance of momentum space geometry in the realm of relativistic physics. Traditional notions of flat momentum space are being re-evaluated in ...

Quantum field theories are powerful tools for particle physics and condensed matter physics but are rarely used in plasma physics. However, in warm-dense regimes, where matter is partially ionized and ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Paradoxically, his theory of relativity has become an essential tool for ...

Images of relativistic electrons trapped in graphene quantum dots have been taken by physicists in the US and Japan. The ability to confine and control electrons in such a way could play an important ...

Yesterday, I wrote about the core concepts needed to understand quantum physics, which is one of the two pillars of modern physics. The other, of course, is the theory of relativity, the full and ...

A growing body of theoretical and experimental work in physics is converging on a striking possibility: time, the dimension humans experience as a constant forward flow, may not be a fundamental ...

Relativistic physics imposes one of the most frustrating limitations predicted by science. It tells us that an inescapable speed limit exists in the universe: we can't go faster than the speed of ...

New research suggests researchers should start by comparing parameters other than time.

Among the intriguing issues in plasma physics are those surrounding X-ray pulsars -- collapsed stars that orbit around a cosmic companion and beam light at regular intervals, like lighthouses in the ...

Cormac O’Raifeartaigh reviews The Perfect Theory: a Century of Geniuses and the Battle Over General Relativity by Pedro G Ferreira Fighting it out: an artist's impression of two black holes circling ...

I've been trying to explain quantum physics, forces, relativity, and space-time to my kid and we had a question that I'm finding difficult to find a solid answer to. Background you can skip if you ...
