A peer-reviewed paper published in The European Physical Journal C presents a modification to Einstein’s general relativity ...

I've long been fascinated by the fundamental mystery of our universe's origin. In my work, I explore an alternative to the traditional singularity-based models of cosmology. Instead of a universe ...

This year started with a major controversy surrounding quantum computing (QC). NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s statement at CES 2025 that “very useful” QC is still 20 years away caused a crash in quantum ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

A new physics paper proposes modifications to Einstein’s theory of relativity that could solve one of the biggest issues ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...
