Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...

Mind = blown.

In quantum mechanics, charged particles like electrons can be sensitive to the effects of electromagnetic fields, even when placed in a region where both the electric and the magnetic fields are zero.

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

Gravity is a ubiquitous part of our daily lives — whether we’re being tragically brought to our knees after tripping on the rug or gleefully jumping from a swing’s apex. But despite how common the ...

Black holes may defy the famous “no-hair” theorem by leaking residual gravitational ripples that could one day be observed by gravitational-wave detectors. Such an observation would provide evidence ...
