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

Physicists have proposed a new model of space-time that may provide the 'first observational evidence supporting string theory,' a new preprint suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

A new theoretical study suggests that the mysterious force driving the accelerated expansion of the universe—known as dark energy—may actually be rooted in a deeply quantum structure of space-time.

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

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called "Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?" Forty-five years later, ...

String theory's equations give rise to a near infinite variety of potential universes in a 'landscape.' This landscape is surrounded by a 'swampland' of solutions that are incompatible with any ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

In theory, the formation of volume-law entanglement is related to what makes quantum computing so powerful. "While have not yet fully abstracted the role that entanglement plays in quantum algorithms, ...
