I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

The early universe experienced a phase of rapid expansion, known as inflation. For decades, cosmologists assumed that this expansion was powered by a new entity in the universe, known as the inflaton.

Physicists have performed a simulation they say sheds new light on an elusive phenomenon that could determine the ultimate fate of the universe. Pioneering research in quantum field theory around 50 ...

A new recipe of "quadratic gravity" could help to better define the picture of the Big Bang and the singularity that existed ...
