Scientists dropped a single atom to test whether Einstein's gravity holds at the quantum scale — a crack that could bridge physics' two irreconcilable pillars.

A GW physics student's study may prove that a magnetar's extreme magnetic field can physically alter the vacuum of space — a 90-year-old prediction finally within reach.

A pool of xenon in a gold mine may have just caught a flicker of dark matter — the substance thought to make up most of the universe's mass.

New quantum evidence may back Penrose's claim that human thought is fundamentally non-computational — raising the question of whether the brain is a quantum machine.

A new neuroscience study found warm quantum states in the brain — the exact phenomenon Penrose and Hameroff said would prove consciousness isn't purely classical computation.

An independent researcher's peer-reviewed book argues the Big Bang never happened — and quantum theory is his weapon of choice.

A disaster expert says it wasn't a glacial lake burst but a falling wall of ice and rock that triggered Nepal's devastating flash floods — and the difference matters for future warnings.

A 1960s astronomer claimed Stonehenge's stones align so precisely with the Sun and Moon it functioned as a prehistoric computer — the first academically testable Stonehenge theory ever proposed.

Nepal's disaster chief says the glacial lake outburst theory for the deadly Nepal-Tibet floods may be wrong — so what actually unleashed the water?

Phobos has been called hollow or an alien craft — now a Natural History Museum scientist is joining a mission to finally dig in and find out.

A six-decade-old NASA Moon photo has resurfaced, and one researcher calls an unidentified object in it "100% proof" of alien life.

Yonsei University researchers are challenging the cosmic acceleration theory that won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics — questioning whether the universe is really speeding up.

A Central Queensland astronomy club and a former NASA engineer are chasing mysterious lights in the sky — and their latest tests may have found the source.

USGS reclassified Nepal's magnitude-5.2 seismic signal as a collapse, not an earthquake — and that single data point is reshaping every theory about what triggered the deadly floods.

163 bodies recovered from Nepal's floods, and investigators are now probing whether a glacier collapse or glacial lake outburst triggered the disaster.

A 4.4-magnitude quake, a glacier collapse, and a bursting glacial lake are all competing to explain Nepal's devastating flash floods — and the answer changes who's to blame.

A Washington University biologist thinks the brain's own tuning trick could make quantum sensors dramatically more sensitive — borrowing neuroscience to push physics.

Gravity may run about 1% weaker across billions of light-years — a "cosmic glitch" that could crack Einstein's theory of general relativity at the largest scales.

Particle spin and conformal field theory match so precisely on energy density and entanglement entropy that researchers say the two frameworks are secretly the same thing.

Physicists are asking whether stripping irrational numbers from quantum theory could erase its strangest features and rewrite a century of physics.
