Physicists take step toward a 'theory of everything'
A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
When was math invented?
Humans started counting tens of thousands of years ago, but when did they begin figuring out advanced arithmetic, algebra and even calculus?
World's largest atom smasher turned lead into gold — and then destroyed it in an instant
The world's largest particle collider produces roughly 89,000 gold nuclei every second, all from smashing lead atoms together at near-light-speed.
Groundbreaking atomic clock is off by less than 1 second every 100 million years
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's new cesium fountain clock is one of the most precise atomic clocks ever created.
Physicists spot elusive 'free-range' atoms ineracting in space for first time ever
Physicists have used a novel technique to observe individual atoms interacting in free space for the first time ever. The new technique confirms a century-old quantum mechanical theory.
