Genetic mutations could be predicted before they occur using a new law of physics, according to a new study. Genetic mutations could be predicted before they occur using a new law of physics, ...

Unlike typical AI research, where a model predicts outcomes or cleans up data, researchers at Emory University in Atlanta did something unusual. They trained a neural network to discover new physics.

Is the universe thinking and learning on some level? This is a thorny subject, but one that some researchers are willing to consider. According to research that was published in the pre-print server ...

The laws of physics do not exist, a theoretical physicist named Sankar Das Sarma argues in a new column published by New Scientist. While we define the laws as the "ultimate laws" of our universe, ...

A research team from Penn State has broken a 165-year-old law of thermal radiation with unprecedented strength, setting the stage for more efficient energy harvesting, heat transfer and infrared ...

Since 1687, Sir Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion, as published in his work “Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy,” have guided our understanding of the relationships between physical ...

"The singularity is the most mysterious and problematic part of a black hole. It's where our concepts of space and time literally no longer make sense." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights continue to shape physics. In the fall of 1915, the foundations of physics ...

The dominant view in physics is simple: the laws of nature are fixed. Gravity pulls as it always has; quantum probabilities collapse with the same stubborn indifference today as billions of years ago.

New experiments are pushing our understanding of light and optics to the limit and are also opening up new areas of physics and novel applications. (Picture credit: Photodisc) Optics has always been ...
