Let's rewind the clock back…oh, I don't know, let's say a hundred years. It was 1917, and Einstein had just developed his ...

If so, laws might change when the universe itself changes phase. In the early universe, as temperatures and densities shifted, forces split apart from a unified origin. What we call “laws” may be like ...

Scientists say microscopic wormholes could explain discrepancies in cosmological constants and affect our understanding of ...

The universe is expanding. That much is clearer. But it’s less clear whether this expansion is accelerating or slowing down.

Last time I wrote about new data that overturns the standard cosmological model. Before anyone starts dusting off their ...

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

The Franklin Institute announced Nov. 11 that it is awarding the 2026 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Physics, one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious honors in science, engineering and business ...

Abstract: Continuum robots have received much attention because of their high degree of flexibility. For modeling the kinematics of continuum robots, the piecewise constant curvature model is widely ...

But new studies suggest that one of his most famous ideas, the cosmological constant, may not be fixed after all. If true, it could mean the universe is destined to collapse rather than expand forever ...

Cosmology is already a complicated field of study, so switching up the variables is extra rough.

A woman says she’s been left terrified to ever visit the dentist again after a botched dental job left her in constant pain and too ashamed to show her teeth. Sadie Hobson, 47, claims her mouth was ...

ABSTRACT: It is known that the cosmological constant can be dynamically tuned to an arbitrary small value in classes of scalar tensor theories. The trouble with such schemes is that effective gravity ...
