The world, in perspective.

For the past week, researchers and mathematicians have been deep in discussion on the subject of dark matter – elusive particles that are yet to be detected, but which could make up as much as 85 per cent of the universe.

Tuning in to electronic noise can tell us whether electrons have paired up or not.

Kelly Holley-Bockelmann was one of the top astrophysicists in the country until President Trump’s policies affected every part of her work.

An extremely rare matter-decay event opens up new possibilities for researching the physical world on scales 100 billion times smaller than an atom.

Data from the Large Hadron Collider has revealed evidence of a long-sought particle process that serves as a guide into the realm of the smallest scales ever probed

Scientists have created a miniature universe in the laboratory that could help answer one of the biggest mysteries in physics: What is time, and where does it come from? Using 24,000 ultracold atoms, a University of Birmingham researcher built an isolated quantum system that repeatedly expands and contracts, mimicking the Big Bang and a possible Big Crunch.

Mr. Sen is internationally recognised for his pioneering work on S-duality, the precise counting of black hole entropy and string field theory, which have helped shape modern string theory

Physicists have discovered a strange new state of quantum matter in which ultracold atoms defy familiar organizational rules, forming a highly excited yet surprisingly orderly configuration called a "fractional Fermi sea." The discovery challenges established quantum theories and hints at exotic quasiparticles that scientists have dubbed potential "super-Fer
