The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

From Fundamental Concepts to Dynamical Mechanisms, by Wolfgang Bietenholz and Uwe-Jens Wiese, Cambridge University Press.

Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

Mean-field theory and semiclassical methods constitute vital frameworks in contemporary quantum mechanics. By replacing the intricate web of particle interactions with an average or “mean” field, mean ...
