Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

The universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, where matter significantly outweighs antimatter despite their theoretically equal creation at the Big Bang, remains a major unsolved problem in physics.

A University of Queensland researcher has developed a new mathematical model to explain the evolution of the universe which, for the first time, includes collapsing regions of matter and expanding ...

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...

The U.S. National Science Foundation today announced a new partnership with Nvidia Corp. to develop artificial intelligence models designed to advance scientific research across the country. The ...

An artistic illustration of the mechanism proposed by Professor Stefano Profumo where quantum effects near the rapidly expanding cosmic horizon after the Big Bang gravitationally generate dark matter ...

Physicists can map its gravity, tally its cosmic abundance, and observe its fingerprints in the microwave glow of the Big Bang. Yet no one has ever detected a single particle of dark matter in the ...

OpenAI is opening up again. The company’s release of two “open-weight” models—gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b—this month marks a major shift from its 2019 pivot away from transparency, when it began ...

Two recent studies by Professor Stefano Profumo at the University of California, Santa Cruz, propose theories that attempt to answer one of the most fundamental open questions in modern physics: What ...
