When molecular biologist Francis Crick tripped on the psychedelic drug LSD in 1953, his mind famously pulled together all of his previous research on human DNA to conceive of the image of a double ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

In 1905, a 26-year-old patent office clerk named Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity, advancing physics research worldwide. In 2005, the World Year of Physics is celebrated to ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

For decades, physicists have accepted that the universe has two sizes: small and large. So-called classical equations govern big objects like baseballs and galaxies, while quantum mechanics describes ...

Or, alternatively, ask associate professor of physics Matthew Headrick about his research. Headrick works on one of the most cutting-edge theories in theoretical physics — the holographic principle.

March is bound to get even madder. Scientists at Cornell University have put together a data model that suggests that the application of a physics theory to basketball may lead to teams scoring five ...
