A new physics paper proposes modifications to Einstein’s theory of relativity that could solve one of the biggest issues about our understanding of the Big Bang.

Stephen Hawking's theory of black hole evaporation clashes with the laws of quantum mechanics. A new paper finds a way around this paradox, provided that the universe has seven dimensions.

Researchers have observed unusual patterns of heat flow inside quantum computers, revealing behaviors that defy classical thermodynamics.

The universe may not be perfectly uniform after all, a new series of papers hints. If confirmed, this could upend a nearly 100-year-old model of cosmology.

Physicists isolated the ‘last sound’ of a black hole collision, providing an unprecedented glimpse of the region right next to the event horizon — the black hole’s mysterious point of no return.

Scientists have found evidence that gravitational waves from a spectacular black hole collision carry signals from the very edge of the newly formed black hole.

Physicists isolated the 'last sound' of an enormous black hole collision, providing an unprecedented glimpse of the region next to the event horizon.

Physicists isolated the ‘last sound’ of a black hole collision, providing an unprecedented glimpse of the region right next to the event horizon — the black hole’s mysterious point of no return.

Scientists made a breakthrough discovery about the physics of Hawking radiation by making a miniature black hole out of light in the laboratory.

Physicists have coaxed a black hole's most famous glow out of a strand of optical fiber and, for the first time, watched that light react back on the simulated black hole that produced it.
