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 ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

Scientists have discovered a new quantum state of matter that connects two significant areas of physics, potentially leading ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

Gravity is the most familiar of nature’s forces. It keeps our feet planted on the ground and dictates the movements of ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Quantum mechanics is our most successful physical theory. Created to account for atomic phenomena, it has a vast range of applications extending well beyond the atomic realm, from predicting the ...

As well as particle physics, neutrinos touch astroparticle physics, cosmology, astrophysics, nuclear physics and geophysics, ...
