Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Physicists are quietly testing an audacious idea: that the mass of everything around us might not come from an invisible ...

AALTO, Finland — Scientists have potentially solved what many consider physics’ most challenging problem – reconciling Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics, without adding any new ...

To square Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity with quantum mechanics requires some currently unknown physics, and that’s led some scientists to question if Einstein’s theory could use some ...

In 2025, physicists spotted a paradigm-shifting new black hole, doubled down on weakening dark energy, and discovered that the Earth’s deep interior may be more connected than previously thought, ...

It took 125 years, but in 2025 a team of mathematicians discovered the solution to a long-puzzling problem about the ...

We tend not to dwell on the fact that we exist in three dimensions. Forwards-back, left-right, up-down; these are the axes on which we navigate the world. When we try to imagine something else, it ...

When the greatest mathematician alive unveils a vision for the next century of research, the math world takes note. That's exactly what happened in 1900 at the International Congress of Mathematicians ...
