Scientists seeking the secrets of the universe would like to make a model that shows how all of nature’s forces and particles fit together. It would be nice to do it with Legos. But perhaps a better ...

In a nutshell, string theory is a sprawling realm of theoretical physics that assumes that tiny vibrating strings are the ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

If the universe was a soundtrack, we have been humming it our whole life. Every atom in our body, every star in the sky, every beam of light is part of a piece of music that never stops playing.

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.

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

DURHAM, N.C. – Using lasers to contain some ultra-chilled atoms, a team of scientists has measured the viscosity or stickiness of a gas often considered to be the sixth state of matter. The ...

Such was the case until December 1984, when John Schwarz, of the California Institute of Technology, and Michael Green, then at Queen Mary College, published a once-in-a-generation paper showing that ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and other biological networks look the way they do. The prevailing theory held ...

Reality is stranger than you think. Seriously. While we go about our daily lives, convinced we understand the basics of existence, scientists are uncovering possibilities that sound more like science ...
