Where is physics headed? No one knows for sure, but Beyond the Quantum by Antony Valentini is a striking new book that ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

One of the most striking outcomes of the surface-minimization framework is its ability to explain structural features that ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A team of Purdue University researchers has been awarded a $1 million W.M. Keck Foundation grant to experimentally test an early prediction originated from string theory: An ...

Recent decades have witnessed remarkable progress in establishing rigorous mathematical frameworks for quantum field theory (QFT), conformal field theory (CFT), quantum gravity and string theory.

Quantum field theory (QFT) remains the cornerstone of our understanding of particle interactions, unifying the principles of quantum mechanics with special relativity by describing particles as ...

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