Group theory is the mathematical study of symmetry and structure, forming one of the cornerstones of modern algebra. Emerging from early investigations into polynomial equations and the permutations ...

The James Webb Space Telescope's discovery of unusually bright and massive galaxies soon after the Big Bang has cast doubt on the standard model of galaxy evolution and bolstered a rival theory for ...

Researchers at Aalto University have made a significant stride by developing a novel quantum theory of gravity. This new framework describes gravity in a manner that is consistent with the Standard ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

LOOK closely enough and almost everything we know of in the universe boils down to a handful of elementary particles. These entities constitute individual threads of the scientific masterpiece that is ...

CERN’s calculation of the W boson’s mass agrees with theory, contradicting a previous anomaly that had raised the possibility of new physics. Particle’s surprise mass threatens to upend the standard ...
