A new study achieves unprecedented accuracy in modelling extreme cosmic events like black hole and neutron star collisions by calculating the fifth post-Minkowskian (5PM) order, crucial for ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light: The cosmic ...

But that equation uses a mathematical ... smaller than a limit called the Planck length—beyond that, we can’t know that there are no gaps in space-time. But the two theories have one commonality.

International team calculates observable quantities such as scattering angle and emitted energy with unrivalled precision.

A landmark study published in Nature has established a new benchmark in modelling the universe's most extreme events: the collisions of black holes ...

Eighty years ago, physicist Erwin Schrödinger asked a deceptively simple question: What is life? In a series of lectures in ...

Researchers from Federal University of São Carlos, ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum ... "As had been controversially discussed at that time, which-path observation (of a ...

For a long time, scientists have been searching for a single theory that connects all the forces of nature. A new geometric approach revives this idea. Einstein already wanted to unify gravity ...

Open access funding has been provided by the Max Planck Society ... We used a model from predator-prey equations that usually describe how animal populations compete. Our results, published ...
