Dive deep into the scientific puzzle that shook physics—the Ultraviolet Catastrophe. Using classical laws, Lord Rayleigh and Sir James Jeans predicted that energy emitted by hot objects should rise ...

Classical physics is characterized by the equations describing the world. Yet our day-to-day experience is struck by this deterministic vision of the world. A physicist has been analyzing the ...

New ground-breaking research could change the way scientists understand and describe lasers - establishing a new relationship between classical and quantum physics. New ground-breaking research from ...

Going to smaller and smaller distance scales reveals more fundamental views of nature, which means if we can understand and describe the smallest scales, we can build our way to an understanding of ...

In the quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe, physicists are revisiting a 150-year-old theory that could illuminate why matter prevails over antimatter. This knot hypothesis, originally ...

The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

One of the most important open questions in science is how our consciousness is established. In the 1990s, long before winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his prediction of black holes, ...
