In a new research reported by University College London (UCL), physicists may have just cracked the code to unite Einstein's gravity theory with the peculiar rules of quantum mechanics. If their theory holds up, it might untangle a mystery...

In a new experiment, scientists have observed metal pieces cracking and then fusing back together, all on their own, without any human help. This new discovery has challenged fundamental scientific theories and could potentially lead to a major engineering revolution. The...

Up on the slopes of central Greece stands a planetarium and observatory of unparalleled educational value to the area and beyond.

Time crystals made of light may soon be part of our everyday lives, thanks to a team of scientists who created these scientific wonders recently. Converting light into a way to quantify time is an endeavor that many have...

Italian Nobel Prize winner Giorgio Parisi urged governments to step up their battle with climate change on Tuesday. The 73-year-old physicist, who works at the Sapienza Università di Roma, is one of three people awarded the 2021 Noble Prize for...

A research team led by Greek physicist and professor Eleftherios Goulielmakis has created the first photograph of electrons in crystals, thanks to a powerful new microscope. Dubbed the "Picoscope," this new device allowed scientists from both Germany and China to...

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) recently published its new triennial PISA report for 2018, in which it ranks scores of countries in the educational performance of their high school students in core subjects. Greek students' performances ranked...

Six physics professors from the National Technological University of Athens (known as "The Polytechnic") are among the 200 top researchers on the list of the 672 most influential researchers worldwide. The list is compiled annually by Webometrics for the...

The members of the Physics Team of Varvakeion High School in Athens, along with Dutch students, won an international competition held at CERN on the occasion of the institution’s 60th birthday. “We were not anxious because we thought we had no...

The town of Rethymno in Crete, Greece, hosted for the second year in a row the International School of Physics on HIPER matters under the auspices of the TEI of Crete and, more specifically, of the Professors Michalis Tatarakis...
