Mediterranean neutrino observatory sets new limits on quantum gravity

Quantum gravity is the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics, the yet-to-be-discovered key to a unified theory capable of explaining both the infinitely large and the infinitely small. The solution ...

Latest dark energy survey data suggest possible variations in dark energy over time

A new study using the Dark Energy Survey (DES) final datasets suggests potential inconsistencies in the standard cosmological model, known as ΛCDM. If confirmed, these findings could fundamentally alter our understanding ...

Clearest images yet of 380,000-year-old universe reveal cosmic infancy

New research by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) collaboration has produced the clearest images yet of the universe's infancy—the earliest cosmic time yet accessible to humans. Measuring light that traveled for more ...

A 'surprisingly large' disk galaxy discovered in the early universe

An international team has discovered a giant spiral disk galaxy in the early cosmos which is three times larger than similar galaxies of the same epoch.

Quantum genesis: The emergence of a flat universe and its mirror from nothing

I've long been fascinated by the fundamental mystery of our universe's origin. In my work, I explore an alternative to the traditional singularity-based models of cosmology. Instead of a universe emerging from an infinitely ...

Why does nature love spirals? The link to entropy

There are moments in the history of human thought when a simple realization transforms our understanding of reality. A moment when chaos reveals itself as structure, when disorder folds into meaning, and when what seemed ...

Puzzling observation by JWST: Galaxies in the deep universe rotate in the same direction

In just over three years since its launch, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has generated significant and unprecedented insights into the far reaches of space, and a new study by a Kansas State University researcher ...

A dark energy driven by star formation

Rolf Landauer showed that "information is physical" with every bit equivalent to a small amount of energy proportional to temperature. The Landauer equivalent energy of information carried, or represented by matter, effectively ...

Neural network deciphers gravitational waves from merging neutron stars in a second

Binary neutron star mergers occur millions of light-years away from Earth. Interpreting the gravitational waves they produce presents a major challenge for traditional data-analysis methods. These signals correspond to minutes ...

Gravity from entropy: A radical new approach to unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our understanding of gravity ...
