Physicists explore whether the universe hides extra dimensions. These tiny, curled-up or warped dimensions could explain ...

Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the ...

The halls of science, known for prim propriety and careful debate, are feuding. A new theory of gravity challenges Einstein's general relativity, our current understanding of that thing that keeps our ...

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 ...

A theoretical physicist in England has won a prestigious award for her work on the theory of massive gravity, which could explain why gravity hasn’t constrained the rapid expansion of the universe.
