Leading X-ray space telescopes XMM-Newton and XRISM have spotted a never-seen-before blast from a supermassive black hole. In ...

Right at the brink of a black hole, gravity twists space and time so violently that ordinary physics starts to fall apart.

The speed of light is one of the most fundamental constants in physics, yet it has never been directly measured in one direction. Instead, scientists rely on assumptions built into how time and ...

We revisit in this feature the 2025 F1 season in twelve photographs from talented XPB photographer, Laurent Charniaux.

F1 has revealed major 2026 regulation changes, including lighter cars, active aerodynamics, and an all-new overtaking system.

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

Physicists in Vienna staged how a cube and a sphere would look in a camera if they raced at 99.9 percent of light speed. They used lasers and ultrafast cameras to build a single snapshot from many ...

Scientists have taken one more step down the very long road to time travel. A new paper combines the Alcubierre “warp” drive with the idea of “controlled closed timelike curves.” Though far out, ...

If there is an absolute law in the universe, it’s that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. For science-fiction enthusiasts, that’s a bit depressing. Space is big, and while the speed of ...

We show the solution of the Schrödinger equation modified by Symmetrical Special Relativity (SSR) for a free particle inside a box. So, based on an invariant minimum speed postulated by SSR, the ...
