Scientists analyzed each element of the neutrino mass matrix belonging to leptons and showed theoretically that the intergenerational mixing of lepton flavors is large. Furthermore, by using the ...

Random matrix theory (RMT) has emerged as a powerful framework for analysing complex systems across physics, statistics and beyond, by examining the statistical properties of matrices with random ...

Quantum graphs—networks composed of vertices connected by edges on which quantum wave dynamics are defined—have emerged as a versatile model for exploring the interplay between geometry, topology, and ...

SUPPOSE we had a theory that could explain everything. Not just atoms and quarks but aspects of our everyday lives too. Sound impossible? Perhaps not. It’s all part of the recent explosion of work in ...

Scientists are exploring a mysterious pattern, found in birds’ eyes, boxes of marbles and other surprising places, that is neither regular nor random. A potent theory has emerged explaining a ...

Random-matrix theory is a mathematical method for finding hidden correlations within masses of data. It doesn't just find pairs, a relatively easy task, but can detect groups of many correlated units ...

When any matter is divided into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually all you are left with—when it cannot be divided any further—is a particle. Currently, there are 12 different known elementary ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...
