The same strange ingredient that might stitch together spacetime could also be humming inside your head. Physicists and neuroscientists are increasingly flirting with the idea that the universe and ...

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

Dr. Leonardos Gkouvelis, researcher at LMU's University Observatory Munich and member of the ORIGINS Excellence Cluster, has ...

One of the most striking outcomes of the surface-minimization framework is its ability to explain structural features that ...

Like stretch marks left on skin that expanded too quickly or cracks embedded in freezing ice, cosmic strings are artifacts of ...

I want to be very clear up front.None of this is confirmed.Most of this is held together by hope, half-remembered dialogue, ...

Images of plants painted on pottery made up to 8,000 years ago may be the earliest example of humans’ mathematical thought, a study has found.

If the universe was a soundtrack, we have been humming it our whole life. Every atom in our body, every star in the sky, every beam of light is part of a piece of music that never stops playing.

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human brain? Sign up for Today in Science, a free daily newsletter from Scientific ...

Blood vessels, neurons, and tree branches often form junctions that look irregular, yet they follow a shared geometric rule. Using three-dimensional scans from six kinds of organisms, researchers in ...

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here. Researchers have found that physical networks in living systems follow rules ...
