A new model based on the famous alien-hunting Drake equation suggests that some parallel universes within the hypothetical ...

Why is the expansion of our Universe accelerating? Twenty-five years after its discovery, this phenomenon remains one of the greatest scientific mysteries. Solving it involves testing the fundamental ...

A novel theoretical model based on universal expansion and star formation suggests that our universe might not have the ...

The chances of intelligent life emerging in our universe—and in any hypothetical ones beyond it—can be estimated by a new ...

At its core, DFT postulates that the ground-state energy of a quantum system is a functional of the electron density. This principle, known as the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem, simplifies the problem of ...

Astrophysicists developed a theoretical model that could be used to estimate how likely it is for intelligent life to emerge ...

Lithium batteries dominate today’s rechargeable battery market, and while they have been wildly successful, challenges with ...

How does the density of dark energy affect the likelihood of intelligent life arising in the Universe? To answer this ...

A simulation by US theoretical physicists has provided the first fully microscopic characterization of the moment an atom ...

Rapid advances in applying artificial intelligence to simulations in physics and chemistry have some people questioning ...

A French-Swiss team tests the famous physicist's predictions by calculating the distortion of time and space. Gravitational lensing of distant ...
