Our standard model of elementary particles and forces has recently become as close to “complete” as we could conceivably ask for. Every single one of the elementary particles — in all their different ...

AALTO, Finland — Scientists have potentially solved what many consider physics’ most challenging problem – reconciling Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics, without adding any new ...

Researchers attempting to solve the problem of dark matter have proposed a particle that can travel to an unseen fifth dimension. The work is entirely hypothetical, as it attempts to explain a type of ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Did the early universe have just one spatial dimension? That's the mind-boggling concept at the heart of a theory that University at Buffalo physicist Dejan Stojkovic and colleagues ...

A new tool to break down and segment large data set problems and problems with many parameters in particle physics could have a wide range of applications. One of the major challenges in particle ...

A new theory claims to have solved five of the biggest problems in physics all at once. The theory was developed by a group of French physicists at the University of Paris-Saclay, and it introduces a ...
