Physicists claim they may have found a long-awaited explanation for dark energy, the mysterious force that's driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, a new preprint study hints. Their ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

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.

Dr. Sam D. Toney has launched RevelationEquation.com to present Revelation Equation, a science fiction novel that incorporates established principles from physics to examine the relationship between ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...

String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...

Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...

For more than a century, physicists have been trying to reconcile the smooth geometry of gravity with the jittery ...

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 ...

String theory captured the hearts and minds of many physicists decades ago because of a beautiful simplicity. Zoom in far enough on a patch of space, the theory says, and you won’t see a menagerie of ...

But despite its extraordinary popularity among some of the smartest people on the planet, string theory hasn’t been embraced by everyone–and now, nearly 30 years after it made its initial splash, some ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...
