Physics & mathematics Explore Physics & Mathematics Dark Energy Dark Matter Gravity Mathematics Particle Physics Quantum Physics Grid List Latest about Physics & Mathematics Mathematicians make rare breakthrough on notoriously tricky 'Ramsey number' problem By Stephanie Pappas published 28 March 23 The bounds on Ramsey numbers, which describe relationships between nodes in a network, have been narrowed. 'Ghostly' neutrinos spotted inside the world's largest particle accelerator for the first time By Ben Turner published 22 March 23 Signatures of neutrinos, or ghostly particles that rarely interact with others, were tentatively spotted in the Large Hadron Collider in 2021. Now, physicists have confirmed they are real. There may have been a second Big Bang, new research suggests By Paul Sutter published 22 March 23 Within a month of the Big Bang, a second cosmic explosion may have given the universe its invisible dark matter, new research suggests. 10 discoveries that prove Einstein was right about the universe — and 1 that proves him wrong By Brandon Specktor published 14 March 23 Albert Einstein's theories of relativity have been proven to be true time and again in the more than 100 years following their publication. 12 numbers that are cooler than pi By Live Science Staff last updated 14 March 23 To celebrate Pi Day, we asked several mathematicians to tell us their favorite non-pi numbers. Here are some of their answers. Albert Einstein: Biography, facts and impact on science By Adam Mann last updated 14 March 23 A brief biography of Albert Einstein, the scientist whose theories changed the way we think about the universe. Why is it so hard to walk on sand? By Joanna Thompson published 13 March 23 Sand is difficult to walk or run across. But why? Scientists use optical tweezers to play world's smallest game of catch with individual atoms By Ben Turner published 9 March 23 Scientists who have thrown a single atom from one pair of optical tweezers to another say that the feat could be used to build better quantum computers. Daylight saving time 2023: When does the time change? By Jeanna Bryner published 8 March 23 Here's a look at when the time changes for daylight saving time and who instituted daylight savings in the first place. Scientists solve mystery behind strange honeycomb pattern in salt deserts By Sascha Pare published 7 March 23 Physicists have finally uncovered the mechanism behind the spectacular patchwork of hexagons on salt flats. The answer lies hidden beneath the crust and works like a donut-shaped radiator. 123456789Archives Live Science newsletter Stay up to date on the latest science news by signing up for our Essentials newsletter.
