Professor Ashoke Sen has been awarded the Oskar Klein Medal for 2026, becoming the first Indian physicist to receive the honour, the Bengaluru-based ICTS said on Saturday. Sen, an ICTS-Infosys Madhava Chair Professor, is internationally recognised for his pioneering work on…
Sen is regarded as one of the architects of modern string theory, and his pioneering research has helped scientists better understand the mysteries of black holes Indian theoretical physicist Ashoke Sen winning the prestigious Oskar Klein medal is a glorious…
What happens to information beyond the event horizon of a black hole? This is one of the great mysteries of modern physics. Based on ideas born from this mystery, physicists have reported unexpected results in research on quantum teleportation. They…
Trying to make sense of the universe when its rules seem to keep clashing, and that’s a challenge that’s kept physicists busy for decades. Gravity pulls the cosmos together, quantum mechanics flips reality on its head, and somehow, the two…
In this series, we are using computer programs to test the idea that 'the universe might be a simulation running on a giant computer,' comparing our calculations with observations. So far, we have handled gravity, galaxies, dark matter, dark energy,…
In this series, we are testing the idea that "the universe might be a simulation running on a giant computer" by actually calculating it with programs and comparing the results with observations. Modern physics has two major pillars: Quantum Mechanics,…
In our daily lives, we confirm that things "exist there" by looking at them with our eyes and touching them with our hands. Believing that the reality in front of us exists in the same way for everyone is an…

China tests SQUID-based quantum gravity sensor for US submarine detection using mass-based signals, offering passive alternative to sonar systems China works on quantum gravity sensor to detect US nuclear submarines just by their mass. China is advancing a superconducting quantum…
The peer-reviewed study collected data for 62 days and was published in the New Journal of Physics in June 2026. The investigation targeted a theoretical proposal developed in the 1960s by Hungarian physicist Frigyes Károlyházy. His model suggests that spacetime is continually rippling…
Physics where mathematics leads: string theory, quantum field theory, general relativity and the mathematical structures physicists and mathematicians find together.
