The finding could explain the long-running mystery of why the surfaces of the lunar near and far sides are so different.

A landmark study published in Nature has established a new benchmark in modelling the universe's most extreme events: the collisions of black holes ...

In the quantum world, observing a particle is not a passive act. If you shine light on a quantum object to measure its ...

The UK-based company Delta.g has bagged the 2025 qBIG prize, which is awarded by the Institute of Physics (IOP). Initiated in ...

Astronomical amounts of energy could be extracted from black holes—to build a gigantic bomb, for example. Experts have now ...

Massive ripples in the very fabric of space and time wash over Earth constantly, although you'd never notice. An astrophysicist is trying a new search for these gravitational waves.
