"Swamplandia": International Experts Gather in Search of a Quantum Gravity Theory


Last week, the Institute for Theoretical Physics (IFT UAM-CSIC) and Harvard University organized the largest scientific conference on the Swampland to date.
 

New IFT video: Does the universe rotate as a whole?

Planets, stars, galaxies... it seems like everything is spinning in the universe. But does the universe as a "whole" spin?

Muon g-2 doubles down with latest measurement, explores uncharted territory in search of new physics


Physicists from Fermilab now have a brand-new measurement of a property of the muon called the anomalous magnetic moment that improves the precision of their previous result by a factor of 2.
