A team from Vienna and Frankfurt has found a formula describing a strange phenomenon: Space and time can form a kind of "crystal" that may turn into a black hole. The results are described in Physical ...

Some black holes could have tamer origins—in the folds of unusual "spacetime crystals" that researchers finally managed to ...

Microscopic black holes have long hovered at the edge of theory, forming only in exquisitely balanced states. Now physicists ...

Bell's theorem, the well-known theoretical framework introduced by John Bell decades ago, delineates the limits of classical physical processes arising from relativistic causality principles. These ...

Black holes crashing together may be revealing clues about dark matter hidden across the universe. Physicists created a new ...

The quantum revolution in physics — whose 100th anniversary we have just celebrated — taught us that at the most basic level the world is bizarrely different than it seems. But, we appear to only have ...

A team of scientists has used X-ray and gamma-ray observations of some of the most distant objects in the Universe to better understand the nature of space and time. Their results set limits on the ...

Mind-bending materials called quasicrystals have an orderly structure, but without a regularly repeating pattern. They’ve been found in meteorites and the debris from the first atomic bomb test.

Families, students and curious minds filled the ground floor of White Hall on Saturday afternoon as West Virginia University ...
