Current theories suggest that W and Z bosons acquire mass from interactions with the Higgs scalar field, but a new study suggests that the higher dimensional structure of spacetime could be the actual ...

In 1900, mathematician David Hilbert presented his colleagues with a list of problems he believed both captured the present state of mathematics and the shape of its future. This year, 125 years later ...

Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world. This is how countless films and stories describe it, but scientists have always ...

Scientists announced on Wednesday that they have found no evidence for the hypothetical “sterile neutrino,” an extra version of the ghostly neutrino particles that are ubiquitous in the universe. The ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...

It appears that we live on the knife-edge, where only the narrowest combination of values for the fundamental constants allow life, and especially conscious life, to arise. When you purchase through ...

Spin glasses might turn out to be the most useful useless things ever discovered. These materials — which are typically made of metal, not glass — exhibit puzzling behaviors that captivated a small ...

Scientists used fluid dynamics to learn how to get the most flavor from pour-over coffee. By Katrina Miller More than a billion cups of coffee are consumed daily: French-press, espresso, cold brew, ...

Mathematicians have finally succeeded in unifying the laws of physics that govern the motions of particles at different scales. Their efforts resolve a question set by mathematician David Hilbert in ...
