Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

Matrix models have emerged as a powerful framework in theoretical physics, offering a nonperturbative approach to describing quantum space-time. In these models, fundamental degrees of freedom are ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth curvature of spacetime, the other the jittery statistics of particles and ...

Is the universe itself the ultimate editor of history, quietly erasing any contradictions before they can even take root? That’s the provocative implication of new research from Lorenzo Gavassino, a ...

Advancements in quantum imaging are transforming scientific research, offering unprecedented resolution and sensitivity for ...

Unafraid to question both scripture and science, Ramakrishnan brings an iconoclast's clarity and a seeker's humility to his work. Brahman: All This Whatsoever That Moves is the culmination of his ...

The earliest acoustic vibrations in the cosmos weren’t exactly sound – they travelled at half the speed of light and there was nobody around to hear them anyway. But Jim Baggott says from the first ...
