A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize the cosmological constant in ways previously unrecognized.

As LLM calculation skills advance, theoretical fields of science are reckoning with the possibility that they could be ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a ...

Perimeter Institute began in the summer of 1999 when Mike Lazaridis, founder and Co-CEO of Research In Motion (RIM), maker of the successful BlackBerry, found himself in a position to help foster ...

The Leinweber Foundation donated $18 million to the Berkeley Center for Theoretical Physics, renaming it to the Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics. The total donation of $90 million is shared ...

University of Bristol physics professor Sir Michael Berry visited the University of Wisconsin on Monday to for a seminar on geometric phase. The seminar was part of the Chemistry Department’s Willard ...

For years, the idea that we might be living inside a vast computer program has drifted from philosophy seminars into blockbuster movies and Reddit threads. Now a group of theoretical physicists say ...
