As dangerously cold temperatures affected the Killeen-Fort Hood area this week, the importance of skilled heating, ...

The six-year Dark Energy Survey has released its full results, showing that two leading models of cosmology are equally valid ...

Chen-Ning Yang, a towering figure in science who shaped contemporary theoretical physics, passed away on 18 October 2025.

The gauge/gravity duality states that gravity and quantum spacetime emerge from a quantum gauge theory, which lives at the boundary between both theories. Over the past 25 years, this duality, with ...

ABSTRACT: The various quantum field theories now recognized collectively as the standard model (SM) are the most precise and predictive models of the universe ever proposed. There is much to explore ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1994, an earthquake of a proof shook up the mathematical world. The mathematician Andrew Wiles had finally settled Fermat’s Last ...

The Langlands program has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up new worlds for them to explore One of the biggest stories in science has been ...

Before the 20 th century, the first basic mathematical consequence of what would be later understood as a gauge theory was noticed in Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism when the electric and ...

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 ...

A quantum theory of gravity would clear the path to answering some of the biggest questions in physics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A bold new quantum theory of gravity may finally bridge the ...

Science has been chasing a single rulebook for nature ever since people realized the same laws that guide apples also steer planets. Three of the four known forces – electromagnetism, the strong force ...

At Aalto University in Finland, two physicists believe they may have cracked a puzzle that has defied generations of scientists: how to reconcile the physics of the very big with the physics of the ...
