Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

The same strange ingredient that might stitch together spacetime could also be humming inside your head. Physicists and neuroscientists are increasingly flirting with the idea that the universe and ...

One of the most striking outcomes of the surface-minimization framework is its ability to explain structural features that ...

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

Recent decades have witnessed remarkable progress in establishing rigorous mathematical frameworks for quantum field theory (QFT), conformal field theory (CFT), quantum gravity and string theory.

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Quantum field theory (QFT) remains the cornerstone of our understanding of particle interactions, unifying the principles of quantum mechanics with special relativity by describing particles as ...
