For centuries, the principle of symmetry has guided physicists towards more fundamental truths, but now a slew of shocking ...

Reality is stranger than you think. Seriously. While we go about our daily lives, convinced we understand the basics of existence, scientists are uncovering possibilities that sound more like science ...

ABSTRACT: A new conceptual framework is presented that unifies Gödel’s incompleteness theorems with practical physical modeling through information-theoretic analysis. The method of variables with ...

Quantum mechanics controls reality on the smallest levels, but when scaled up, it’s often difficult to gauge how and why this realm matters in the practical world. That said, physicists will on ...

Community members and friends alike remain stunned days after Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nuno F.G. Loureiro, a nuclear physicist, was shot and killed at his home in Brookline, ...

ABSTRACT: This paper develops an information-theoretic framework for analysing empirical spectra across cosmology, physiology, and astrophysics by recasting them as normalized probability densities ...

A professor at the University of Cincinnati and his colleagues figured out something two of America’s most famous fictional physicists couldn’t: theoretically how to produce subatomic particles called ...

The professor was shot “multiple times” at this home in Brookline, Massachusetts, according to officials, and died on Tuesday morning in the hospital. The Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office has ...

Nuno Loureiro was a physicist who served as the director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center. He also held faculty appointments in MIT’s Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering and ...

Physicists at the University of Amsterdam came up with a really cool bit of Christmas decor: a miniature 3D-printed Christmas tree, a mere 8 centimeters tall, made of ice, without any refrigeration ...

Physicists spotted a “terribly exciting” new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and debated the meaning of quantum mechanics. It in no way reflects my feelings toward Quanta staff ...
