Information could become the fifth state of matter alongside gas, plasma, liquid, and solid states. A scientist has proposed ...

The origin of our Universe remains one of the greatest enigmas of science, a question that seems to defy the limits of our ...

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — ...

For years, scientists have used a well-established model to explain how the universe evolves. The standard theory, called the ...

A University of Queensland researcher has developed a new mathematical model to explain the evolution of the universe which, for the first time, includes collapsing regions of matter and expanding ...

Scientists using Google’s quantum processor have taken a major step toward unraveling the deepest mysteries of the universe. By simulating fundamental interactions described by gauge theories, the ...

The plot represents the new model with the x-axis and the y-axis showing the minimum sizes of collapsing and expanding regions that can impact cosmological measurements. The contours are independent ...

“Dark energy” is a term scientists use to refer to whatever is causing the universe to expand faster over time. We don’t know exactly what dark energy is—no one has ever directly seen or measured ...

Scientists are rethinking the universe’s deepest mysteries using numerical relativity, complex computer simulations of Einstein’s equations in extreme conditions. This method could help explore what ...
