Distance scales from the Planck length to a 93-billion-light-year observable universe expose extreme limits of physics and ...

Fermilab scientists have been conducting experiments to look for quantum fluctuations of space and time at the smallest scale imaginable according to known physics. At this limit, the Planck length, ...

I’d like to invite you to an even higher level of nerdom! Every good nerd knows that E=mc^2. Every great nerd knows that, really, E^2=m^2c^4+p^2c^2 Want to know what that even means? Sure, I’ll tell ...

Scientists with Fermilab recently announced the successful measurement of quantum spacetime at the smallest imaginable scale in known physics, known as the Planck length. According to quantum ...

The smallest time interval ever defined. Named after theoretical physicist Max Planck (1858-1947), Planck time is 10-43 seconds; however, the only measurement ever actually made was more than twice as ...

A research team led by Prof. Dr. Yang Yong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed a remarkable quantum tunneling phenomenon across double ...

Black holes, those gravitational monsters so named because no light can escape their clutches, are by far the most mysterious objects in the universe. But a new theory proposes that black holes may ...

Molecular biologist Roberto Bonasio from the University of Pennsylvania will be honoured for his outstanding research in the field of epigenetics with the Max Planck-Humboldt Research Award, which is ...
