By cooling an atom-thin magnetic material, physicists have experimentally confirmed a classic 1970s model of two-dimensional magnetism.

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the universe in a completely different way than we do. Physicist Daniel Whiteson exp ...

A physicist proposes that consciousness is the fundamental basis of reality, with matter and spacetime emerging from it.

Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily like a memory system.
