A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the ...

The long-standing problem of the cosmological constant, described both as “the worst prediction in the history of physics” and by Einstein as his “biggest blunder”, is being tackled with renewed ...

Physicists at Brown University have proposed that the universe’s accelerating expansion may be stabilized by a hidden topological structure in space-time. Their model connects quantum gravity ...

As the Dark Energy Survey (DES) releases its final results, we caught up with two physicists who've been involved in the project from its early days. In this Q&A, Josh Frieman, DES co-founder and ...

According to physics, the universe and everything in it can be explained by just a handful of equations. They’re difficult equations, all right, but their simplest feature is also the most mysterious ...
