A research team proposes utilizing numerical relativity, a computational technique for solving Einstein's equations in high-gravity environments, to investigate the universe's origin. The approach ...

In his thoughtful new novel about people turning into trees, Rhett Davis puts postmodernism and myth through the figurative ...

Scientists say fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe—not particles and waves.

In 1951, physicist Julian Schwinger theorized that by applying a uniform electrical field to a vacuum, electron-positron ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

This study presents valuable computational findings on the neural basis of learning new motor memories without interfering with previously learned behaviours using recurrent neural networks. The ...

The universe feels simple at first glance: stars ... of nature – like the strength of forces or the speed of light – might shift across time or space. If they do, even slightly, many calculations ...
