Is time something that flows — or just an illusion? Exploring space-time as either a fixed “block universe” or a dynamic fabric reveals deeper mysteries about existence, change, and the very nature of ...

In their study, Zhao and Smalyukh created a space–time crystal in the nematic phase of a liquid crystal. In this phase the crystal’s rod-like molecules align parallel to each other and also flow like ...

The visible patterns produced by the time crystals could be used for data storage and anti-counterfeiting designs.

Physicists have recently uncovered a groundbreaking material known as “time crystals,” which challenges our conventional understanding of time and space. This discovery, rooted in quantum physics, ...

In this week’s special CEO Series edition of Space Minds, we’re at the World Space Business Week in Paris. In today’s episode ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

On September 14, 2015, a signal arrived on Earth, carrying information about a pair of remote black holes that had spiraled ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time ...

According to Newtonian physics, the gravitational attraction between two masses is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance between them – the inverse square law. However, as Most ...

For all our telescopes and colliders, dark matter has remained an elusive ghost for the better part of a century. It ...

The reason it could be heard by teams on multiple telescopes and in all different directions was because that irritating noise was in fact the cosmic microwave background (CMB) – the leftover ...
