How can the tiniest particles and the vast structure of the universe be explained using the same kind of mathematics? This puzzle is the focus of recent research by mathematicians Claudia Fevola ...

How exactly did the universe start and how did these processes determine its formation and evolution? This is what a study ...

Scientists believe we could find missing aspects of our understanding of the universe by looking closely at the signatures of gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of space-time.

If we want to describe the Universe as simply and completely as possible, it takes 26 dimensionless constants to get us there. This is quite a small number, but not necessarily as small as we'd like.

The grand explanation physicists use to describe how the universe works may have some major new flaws to patch after a fundamental particle was found to have more mass than scientists thought ...

As a member of the University’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program and a 2021 McHale Fellow, I am conducting theoretical research on how the shape of the universe can explain dark matter ...

Computational rules might describe the evolution of the cosmos better than the dynamical equations of physics — but only if they are given a quantum twist.

We know that the universe is expanding, and our understanding of nature based on general relativity and the Standard Model of elementary particles is consistent with this observation. However, these ...

String theory may be our best attempt at a theory of everything, except that it can't describe an expanding universe like ours. Now a radical new twist on the idea could finally fix that – but ...

How cool is it that your article about five numbers that transform our understanding of the universe started on page 42 (13 August, p 42), the number made famous by The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the ...
