Stephen Hawking’s last paper, co-authored with ERC grantee Thomas Hertog, proposes a new cosmological theory, in which universe is less complex and finite

You are putting forward a new theory of the origin of the universe. What’s wrong with the current one? The prevailing theory of the big bang is called eternal inflation. It says that out of the Big Bang not only our own universe arose, but also many…

The beauty of frozen particles

Emulsions play a key role both in natural and industrial processes, as they allow the combination of two liquids that do not normally mix and make the blend stable. Yet, when materials solidify or freeze, the complex interactions that take place and…
