The potential of technology is constrained only by the laws of physics, whether classical or, increasingly, quantum. As the ...

Particle physicists are delving deep into the Standard Model of particle physics to better understand quark mixing, which is not accurately predicted by the model. The quarks that form the nuclei of ...

"The results we are obtaining are truly unexpected, and all point to a super Eddington-type growth mechanism for black holes. I would say we hit the jackpot!" Scientists have found evidence that ...

The laws of physics naturally drive systems towards states of increasing disorder and thermal equilibrium, as we all know. Yet these basic precepts, when applied to the Universe as a whole ...

challenging the limits of physics," says Alessia Tortosa, lead author of the study and researcher at INAF in Rome. "The discovery of this connection between X-ray emission and winds is crucial for ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...
