A growing body of theoretical and experimental work in physics is converging on a striking possibility: time, the dimension ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

Arts and Science researchers developed particles that use sound waves to swing in the air without external forces to ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

Time is not to be trusted. This should come as news to no one. Yet recent times have left people feeling betrayed that the reliable metronome laying down the beat of their lives has, in a word, gone ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. To catch a glimpse of the subatomic world’s unimaginably fleet-footed particles, you need to produce unimaginably brief flashes of light ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

Time crystals are an oddity of quantum physics, but new calculations show that these bizarre materials could be useful for building very accurate clocks. All crystals are defined by repetition – ...
