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

The Standard Model of our universe doesn’t match the evidence, in part because of dark energy, a ghostly force pushing the ...

Physicists claim they may have found a long-awaited explanation for dark energy, the mysterious force that's driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, a new preprint study hints. Their ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

String theory proposes that the fundamental constituents of the universe are one-dimensional “strings” rather than point-like particles. What we perceive as particles are actually vibrations in loops ...

If you can't sleep at night worrying about gravity's ongoing conflict with the other three fundamental forces of nature, Lisa Randall may be able to help. Randall, a theoretical physicist at Harvard ...

String theory's equations give rise to a near infinite variety of potential universes in a 'landscape.' This landscape is surrounded by a 'swampland' of solutions that are incompatible with any ...

Gauge theory and string theory represent two foundational pillars in contemporary theoretical physics, offering profound insights into the nature of fundamental interactions and the structure of the ...
