The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

Ultrashort laser pulses—that are shorter than a millionth of a millionth of a second—have transformed fundamental science, ...

Astronomers have just made a new measurement of the Hubble Constant, the rate at which the universe is expanding, and it doesn’t quite line up with a different estimate of the same number. That ...

It’s a powerful technique, but small uncertainties at each step can add up, something critics argue may be behind the Hubble tension. The new study bypasses this entire ladder using a method called ...

What do the Curie couple, Henrie Becquerel, Louis Harold Gray, and Ralf Sievert have in common? These radiation pioneers defined the way we measure ionizing radiation. Pierre and Marie Curie created ...

A research team has created a quantum antenna capable of precisely measuring terahertz frequency combs for the first time. A research team from the Faculty of Physics and the Centre for Quantum ...

In quantum physics, particles exist in many states at once until you measure them. Can reality really work that way? When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

A single equation can describe how fluids flow across a wide range of length scales, from ocean currents to swimming algae. The difference merely lies in the Reynolds number, says Julia Yeomans. As ...

What are the loudest sounds at UB? Where are the university’s quietest spots? What unlikely noises here are around 60 decibels, the level typically associated with a normal conversation between two ...

The physicists Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger have won the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that proved the profoundly strange quantum nature of reality. Their experiments ...
