Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

From Fundamental Concepts to Dynamical Mechanisms, by Wolfgang Bietenholz and Uwe-Jens Wiese, Cambridge University Press.

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

If these knots had a slight bias toward matter over antimatter, their unraveling could help explain the matter-antimatter imbalance, the paper stated. A thorough mathematical investigation of this ...

The group of pure‑play Quantum computing stocks known on Wall Street as the “Quantum 4” has surged more than 100% this year.

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...
