Imagine you are sitting in a big symphony hall, and you’re listening to an orchestra play for the first time. The orchestra is performing a Violin Concerto by Beethoven. As the soloist runs her hands ...

Vibrots are tiny devices that convert linear vibrations into rotational motion and are of great interest to scientists studying the collective motions of particles in physics, biology and chemistry.

The same strange ingredient that might stitch together spacetime could also be humming inside your head. Physicists and neuroscientists are increasingly flirting with the idea that the universe and ...

String theory is a purported theory of everything that physicists hope will one day explain … everything. All the forces, all the particles, all the constants, all the things under a single ...

Much to the delight of the mainstream media, there's a battle royal going on in physics. Over recent months, a fair bit of mud has been slung in the theoretical physics community over the issue of ...

If the universe was a soundtrack, we have been humming it our whole life. Every atom in our body, every star in the sky, every beam of light is part of a piece of music that never stops playing.
