In our three-dimensional space, elementary particles neatly filter into either bosons or fermions. But in lower dimensions, that distinction gets a bit murky.
The center looks to add three new labs in Science Hall and introduce a degree plan for undergraduate and graduate students.
“For the last 20 years, people believed that the cosmological constant is positive, and the universe will expand forever,” says Tye, a professor emeritus at Cornell. A positive constant acts like a ...
New data from major dark-energy observatories suggest the universe may not expand forever after all. A Cornell physicist calculates that the cosmos is heading toward a dramatic reversal: after ...
The shape of the cosmos depends on a balance of two competing forces: the pull of gravity and the expansion driven by dark ...
A physicist proposes that the universe is not empty space, but is a viscous fluid, fueling the expansion and contraction we see.
Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla has used a water blob to explain Earth's shape. Discover the physics of surface tension, rotation, and inertia in this space and physics explainer.
Supermassive black holes rarely travel alone. Most large galaxies hide one at the center, and when galaxies collide, the two ...
