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

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

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.

The apparent inability of physics' string theory to be proved right or wrong is one of the stickiest – and argument-generating – problems in modern science. But now researchers at the University of ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

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.
