String theory attempts to unify all forces and particles in the universe using vibrating strings. It aims to explain the Standard Model of particle physics, which is incomplete. String theory predicts ...

Currently, there are 100 trillion neutrinos flowing through you. Don’t worry though; they hardly interact with matter. In ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the particle many hoped would explain it.

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 ...

Define the Standard Model gauge group to be S ( U ( 2) × U ( 3)), the subgroup of SU ( 5) consisting of block diagonal matrices with a 2 × 2 block and then a 3 × 3 block. (This is isomorphic to the ...

How old is the universe—and how fast is it expanding? These are part of one of the biggest—and most contested—questions in science, and the answers could change our understanding of physics. In this ...

Combining artificial intelligence with a conventional climate model can predict heatwaves faster than the standard model ...
