Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

A team of physicists has uncovered a hidden topological structure within one of the most widely used sources of quantum entanglement.

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

Cosmic voids may seem like the emptiest places in the universe, stripped of matter, radiation, and even dark matter. But they’re far from nothing. Even in these vast empty regions, the fundamental ...

For more than a century, Srinivasa Ramanujan’s uncanny formulas for the number pi have looked like pure mathematical fireworks, dazzling but detached from the physical world. Now a new wave of ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

This article investigates the classical limit of the Jarzynski equality in quantum systems, specifically using a nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings model ...

Without AI computing power support and the Congzi equation, human consciousness uploading will completely lose technical feasibility and continuity guarantee, becoming an inoperable "digital relic".

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

A newly mapped form of superconductivity in uranium ditelluride emerges only under extremely strong magnetic fields, defying long-held expectations about how superconductors behave.

The visceral substrate of selfhood is not an add-on to cognitive self-awareness; in many frameworks, it is its foundation. Neuroimaging shows the anterior insula co-activating with the medial ...
