The nature of life is one of the most widely examined topics in science and yet remains deeply mysterious. Life is governed by physical laws, shaped by chemical interactions and influenced by ...

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have stubbornly resisted every attempt to bring them under one roof. A new geodesic-based ...
