Should the universe “choose” braneworld, it could mean that your senses (which perceive fewer dimensions) are keeping you from experiencing the full number of dimensions surrounding you. This could ...

Queen’s physics researchers are part of a global experiment that will use the Pacific Ocean to study some of the most elusive particles in the universe.

Learn about the particles showering down on Earth and how scientists find them at annual Arthur H. Compton Lecture series ...

How fast can a galaxy build ordered magnetic fields spanning thousands of light-years? Existing theories say several billion years, but observations of galaxies in our universe imply shorter ...

A new experiment using rare-isotope beams has provided new insight into the origin of proton-rich isotopes known as p-nuclei.

When the Nobel Prize in Physics was announced in Stockholm in October 2013, the world was watching. Among the names read out ...

A new data release more than doubles the number of gravitational-wave candidate events—and reveals unexpected complexities of merging black holes ...

Gravity is by far the weakest of nature’s four fundamental forces, and physicists have spent decades asking a deceptively simple question: why? One answer, first sketched a century ago and refined ...

For decades, scientists have tried to measure how fast the universe is expanding. This expansion rate is known as the Hubble constant, and it plays a central role in understanding the history and ...

Scientists studying a mysterious effect called cosmic birefringence—a subtle twist in the polarization of the universe’s oldest light—have developed a new way to reduce uncertainty in how it’s ...

Thermonuclear reaction rates power the models that explain how stars live, explode and create the elements. A new study co-authored by NC State faculty member Richard Longland provides a comprehensive ...

Scientists worldwide respond to the publication of the three-volume monograph “Quantum Model of the Universe” #Physics ...
