Almost 100 years ago, a revolutionary discovery was made in the field of physics: microscopic matter exhibits wave properties. Over the decades, more and more precise experiments have been used to ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. Earlier today, the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics was announced: half to ...

A research team is using astrophysical explosions to understand the mysterious forces at work in some of the smallest ...

Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. These new beams, which the team calls “spacetime wave packets,” follow different rules of ...

Albert Einstein's 100-year-old theory about gravitational waves has been proved correct. And now the breakthrough has been recognised with the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics. Scientists working with the ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...
