Scientists from around the world are at Brown to discuss what is known, and what needs to be learned, about the long-sought particle discovered a decade ago.

Such an exponential expansion may seem minor, but it is equivalent to a grape in the palm of your hand swelling to become ...

Japanese physicists have revived Kelvin’s old idea of cosmic knots, showing how these tangled fields might explain why matter ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball rolling in ...

Nobel laureate Chen Ning Yang, who spent decades advancing physics in both the U.S. and China, died in Beijing on Saturday at ...

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...

Physicists propose that tangled cosmic “knots” formed after the Big Bang may explain why our universe is made of matter, not ...

The James Webb Space Telescope's discovery of unusually bright and massive galaxies soon after the Big Bang has cast doubt on the standard model of galaxy evolution and bolstered a rival theory for ...
