In a nutshell, string theory is a sprawling realm of theoretical physics that assumes that tiny vibrating strings are the ...

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here.

Scientists seeking the secrets of the universe would like to make a model that shows how all of nature’s forces and particles fit together. It would be nice to do it with Legos. But perhaps a better ...

The Standard Model of our universe doesn’t match the evidence, in part because of dark energy, a ghostly force pushing the ...
