By establishing a bridge between quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and cosmology, our research opens new avenues for a deeper understanding of the universe at its most fundamental level.

Evidence suggests that our galaxy is inside a cosmic void, a vast expanse of relatively empty space. But according to our laws of cosmology, this void shouldn't exist. New research says such a ...

In the journal Physical Review Letters, ... “The fact that cosmology could be at play here means it’s really worth following it up until it’s ex­­clud­ed,” Boylan-Kolchin says.

Cosmology gives meaning to astronomical observations of the universe that surrounds us, with physical principles that apply on Earth as well as in the rest of the universe. This "study of the world" ...

In an unlikely pairing, a Princeton Chemist and an astrophysicist studying at the Institute for Advanced Study applied the tools of statistical mechanics to find similarities in spatial patterns ...

The first matter. But before we get to that, let’s take a look at how “material” – physical matter – first came about. If we are aiming to explain the origins of stable matter made of ...

However, we assume that there is a physical, rather than a divine, explanation for the matter-antimatter asymmetry we observe today, but we do not yet know for certain. E. Siegel / Beyond The Galaxy ...
