A ball tossed into the air follows a path that classical physics can track with confidence. Shrink that ball down to the size ...

We consider a vacuum to be the lowest energy state of the Universe. But it's possible that there's an even lower-energy, more ...

The study of quantum dynamics in conjunction with nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) sits at the confluence of mathematical physics, quantum mechanics and nonlinear analysis. This field ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...

Only about 5% of the universe is composed of normal matter that we can directly observe, while the remaining 95% is widely ...

The study of Quantum Boltzmann Equations and Bose–Einstein condensation forms a vital nexus in modern theoretical physics, bridging quantum statistical mechanics and kinetic theory. The Quantum ...

A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now bridges ...

What exactly is … everything? What is space-time? At one extreme, you’ve got the weird rules of quantum physics that deal with subatomic particles. At the other extreme, you’ve got the vast expanses ...

The cosmological constant has been a problem in physics since Einstein, but new research may show why it takes the value that ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

The lack of convergence between quantum laws and gravitation remains a persistent problem in physics. A recent advance, materialized by a new equation, however opens a path to bring these fields ...
