Black holes, the enigmatic end-products of stellar collapse and pivotal cosmological objects, have long intrigued theoretical physicists through their intricate interplay with quantum fields. A ...

The Universe isn’t always kind to life, with countless ways in which Earth could be destroyed, though some scenarios are more ...

An experiment conducted in Trento (Italy) by researchers of the University of Trento, from the Italian National Institute of Optics CNR-INO and from TIFPA, with theory support from Newcastle ...

Eventually, the vacuum of space will decay, and things will fall apart—in a zillion years. Our universe is glued together by quantum fields, like the Higgs, which set much of our physics. Revising ...

Physicists have performed a simulation they say sheds new light on an elusive phenomenon that could determine the ultimate fate of the universe. Pioneering research in quantum field theory around 50 ...
