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

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. A new discovery suggests ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

Gravity is the unseen force that shapes the universe, yet we rarely give it much thought. First explained by Sir Isaac Newton, it is the pull that draws objects toward one another based on their mass ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

A new argument explores how the growth of disorder could cause massive objects to move toward one another. Physicists are both interested and skeptical. Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his ...

A theoretical proposal published in the journal Reports on Progress in Physics is making some bold claims about our previous understanding of quantum physics. Mainly, that we were wrong. The proposed ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...

All the fundamental forces are thought to be carried by a particle, but a new mathematical model suggests gravity may be a striking exception. Building on a decades-old idea, researchers have revealed ...

In a new study published in Physical Review D, Professor Ginestra Bianconi, Professor of Applied Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London, proposes a new framework that could revolutionize our ...

“Wicked” stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who play Glinda and Elphaba in the movie adaptation of the musical, are set to perform at the 97th Annual Academy Awards on March 2. The duo has not ...
