Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

Physicists have long suspected that gravity might have a hidden quantum side, but for decades the idea has been more ...

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics. Now scientists ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...

When I was five years old, my family moved into a 1930s semi-detached house with a long strip of garden. At the end of the garden was a miniature orchard of eight apple trees the previous owners had ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

Neutrinos are tiny subatomic particles that barely interact with matter. They can pass through planets without stopping. The ...
