Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling ...

A jarring divide cleaves modern physics. On one side lies quantum theory, which portrays subatomic particles as probabilistic waves. On the other lies general relativity, Einstein’s theory that space ...

People once believed the Earth was flat, and later that our planet sat at the center of all creation. Both ideas eventually ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

A new theory suggests that the unification between quantum physics and general relativity has eluded scientists for 100 years because huge "fluctuations" in space and time mean that gravity won't play ...

As with many branches of physics and engineering, a common point of debate and research is: Under what conditions do the classical laws and theories of physics break down and quantum theories are ...

A quiet shift is taking place in physics labs that could one day reshape how you send a message, store data, or protect ...

Let me tell you about my book "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations," published last year by Springer. It's technical, but I'll describe it in English. Scientists agree the ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

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