Quantum physics is bringing back the paranormal, and I don't mean late-night television. I mean papers in scientific journals: conscious...

Forget protests and regulation. The biggest threat to artificial intelligence might be something you’re doing right now, or rather, not doin...

Physics has an elephant in the room and its name is complexity. A few years ago a group of researchers made the first serious attempt to qua...

For over a decade, every anomaly in particle physics has disappeared. Not this one. A long-standing anomaly in particles containing bottom q...

Everything in the universe, galaxies included, started out as tiny quantum fluctuations. So why isn’t a galaxy in two places at once? Physic...

After mathematics, AI is now coming for physics, writing papers on new particles, dark matter and the fine structure constant. OpenAI claim...

A few years ago, headlines around the world called Erwin Schrödinger a paedophile. Universities renamed lecture halls and took his portrait ...

Two physicists in France say they have spotted something odd in data from the Large Hadron Collider: heavy particles that could only exist ...

We’ve been told for decades that a plastic bottle lasts 450 years, or even that plastic never goes away. But how would anyone know, given th...

Climate sceptics are calling it “organised crime,” a “coup d’état,” and “worse than Climategate.” Their target is a new report from the US N...

Small modular nuclear reactors were supposed to make nuclear power cheaper and faster to build. Governments from the US to the UK are now po...

A 14-year-old from Canada just won a prize for a new theory of dark energy. I had a look at what he submitted, and it ticks all the boxes of...

Astronomers have found a green star. That’s not supposed to be possible, because stars hot enough to be green also mix all colours together ...

For a decade, two ways of measuring how fast the universe expands have given different answers, a problem known as the “Hubble tension”. Now...

This year's hurricane season has been unusually quiet, and a new study suggests this might become the norm. According to researchers at ...

Oil companies have found a way to keep using fossil fuels: capture the carbon dioxide and bury it underground. Governments around the world...

One of the biggest debates in tech at the moment is the question of whether current AI models can become conscious. Whatever “conscious” mea...

For decades, astrophysicists have told us that the Milky Way sits inside a huge halo of dark matter. But new measurements of how the outer s...

For years, experts have tried to predict how fast artificial intelligence would progress, and they've been wrong again and again. Benchm...

Nearly everything published about quantum physics in the brain is nonsense. This time a physicist in Istanbul has come up with something dif...
