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

(via Sabine Hossnfelder) A unified theory – that explains the interactions in the standard model of particle physics from one common origin – has been a goal of physicists ever since the completion of ...

The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...

Time is a straightforward concept - or is it? The passing of minutes and years isn't as easy to explain as many assume.

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

For a century, the Schrödinger equation has been the bedrock of quantum mechanics, successfully predicting how matter behaves as a wave. Yet, physics has lacked a fundamental explanation for why ...

Astronomers found evidence that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, hinting at a "fundamental breakthrough" that challenges our understanding of how the universe evolved.
