Famed scientist Stephen Hawking will turn 70 on Sunday, January 8. Unlike his ability to shed light on some of the most intricate aspects of the Universe, other scientists appear to be unable to determine how it is that the physicist managed to survive for so long while suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease (not t... |

Researchers operating the experiments on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) say that the massive particle accelerator could reveal the existence of more dimensions this year or in 2012. They explain that studies conducted there might reveal where the 96 percent of the Universe is hiding.Despite the advanced technologies... |

For quite some time now, science fiction and theoretical physics have proposed the existence of constructs known as wormholes, portals thought to unite two regions of space via a direct link. Now, the search for such features is taken up a notch or two in several studies.In the past, theoretical physicists proposed t... |

According to the results of an interesting new analysis, it would appear that black hole may exist in a type of space-time-defined space that is independent of time itself. This type of environment, in which time is essentially frozen still, is called the Kerr spacetime.
The same study shows that this is the end s... |

The main implication of a new theoretical study is that our entire Universe may be nothing more than the content of a black hole existing in another Universe. According to its creator, the new theory follows logically form a minor alteration of the established theory of gravity.The new idea was proposed by Indiana Un... |

Though most astronomers believe the the Universe began developing some 13.7 billion years ago, a team now proposes that the Big Bang – the event that set everything in motion – was actually preceded by a larger series of episodes of universal birth and death.It could be that a large series of explosive ev... |

In an interview he gave for PARADE Magazine, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking argued that humans should continue exploring space, and also revealed that time travel is theoretically possible. According to the expert, it's the job of physicists and engineers to work together in developing a method of warping... |

Though they initially started out to investigate quirks in superconductors, two researchers ended up demonstrating how the most high-tech materials can shed more light on a common phenomenon.The interplay between electricity and magnetism has been discovered about two centuries ago, and has ever since developed conti... |

Since it was first discovered in 2004, the two-dimensional carbon compound graphene has been hailed as one of the most promising materials to have hit the market in years. Originally derived from 3D graphite, the material exhibits superior electron mobility, mechanical strength and thermal conductivity, which are all... |

The concept of a fundamental length has been one of the most interesting aspects for physicists over the past century, as they attempted to establish whether all space was made out of a single, continuous unit, or out of several, discrete units. The idea features not only knowledge from physics, but from history and ... |

Since the Big Bang theory was first formulated, astronomers and other scientists have been hard at work to either confirm it beyond a reasonable doubt, or show it to be false. At this point, it still remains the most popular explanation of how the Universe cam into being, and is widely accepted by the scientific comm... |

Phase transitions are among the most important natural phenomena that go on inside the large-scale, 3D world. The concept basically refers to the substances' abilities to change states (liquid, gas, solid) without having their chemical composition altered. One good example of this is the water's circuit in ... |

Scientists have been trying for a very long time to come to terms with some of the most basic properties of the Universe. In spite of the term “basic,” they are actually fairly difficult to discover, and so a group of experts is currently proposing a new way of approaching this issue. According to Raphael... |
