A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

While popular AI models such as ChatGPT are trained on language or photographs, new models created by researchers from the Polymathic AI collaboration are trained using real scientific datasets. The ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

The scientific community long assumed that to understand how lightning works, one needed a ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

When James Clerk Maxwell set out his famous equations 150 years ago, his model of electromagnetism included a piece of pure fiction: an invisible, all-pervasive “aether” made up of elastic vortices ...

A physicist proposes that consciousness is the fundamental basis of reality, with matter and spacetime emerging from it.

Statistical insights into machine learning analysis can help researchers evaluate model performance and may even provide new physical understanding.

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

My academic path studying physics at Tsinghua University began in 1981 where I completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s before earning a PhD in 1992. I then did a postdoc at the Central Iron & Steel ...
