Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Here are three discoveries from quantum physics that quietly changed how we understand the power of the mind, not in mystical language, but in ways that still make scientists uncomfortable. Scroll ...

Mind = blown.

Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world's most powerful particle ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...

The next Milky Way supernova may not surprise astronomers at all. According to a recent study available on the arXiv preprint server, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, ahead of its decade-long Legacy ...
