A University of Sydney quantum physicist has developed a new approach to quantum error correction that could significantly ...

We propose an extended scale gauge theory that addresses the hierarchy problem and the cosmological constant problem within a unified geometric framework. By introducing a dynamical balance mechanism ...

If you imagine the story of the universe as a film endlessly in post-production, cosmologists would be its obsessive editors, constantly tweaking the narrative. The version they are working with is an ...

Birds, the warm-blooded and feathered vertebrates, are being used to put romantic partners to the test. A relationship experiment dubbed the "bird theory" is making the rounds on social media. It ...

ABSTRACT: The various quantum field theories now recognized collectively as the standard model (SM) are the most precise and predictive models of the universe ever proposed. There is much to explore ...

The Langlands program has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up new worlds for them to explore One of the biggest stories in science has been ...

Quantum gravity seeks to reformulate gravity through fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, such as quantization, uncertainty, and wave-particle duality. It aims to describe gravitational ...

Numbers have a funny way about them. Young math students are taught various strategies to make problem-solving easier. Comparing fractions? Find a common denominator or convert to decimals. The ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...
