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.

Noncommutative gauge theories and field theories extend the conventional paradigm by re‐defining spacetime itself as an algebra of noncommuting coordinates. Within this framework, the familiar notions ...

What happens when matter transitions from one phase to another—a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas? Describing these critical points precisely, in solvable mathematical terms, is no simple feat.

Figure 1: A deep-learning technique known as generative diffusion is used to generate new clear images in image processing. RIKEN-led research has now shown that a similar technique can be applied to ...

Quantum Entanglement is the biggest mystery of science that could upend life as we know it, and explaining it is an unlikely but fascinating theory writes Satyen K. Bordoloi. It is the stuff of ...

We often marvel at the genius of Albert Einstein, a physicist who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Yet, even ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

Last month, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collective reported that dark energy is evolving—specifically weakening—and it could help provide the first observational evidence of string ...

A new theory suggests that the unification between quantum physics and general relativity has eluded scientists for 100 years because huge "fluctuations" in space and time mean that gravity won't play ...

Over a century ago, two theories were put forward to explain all of reality: quantum mechanics and general relativity. Both have been refined and improved over decades and extensively tested. They are ...
