For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

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

A variation on the theory of quantum gravity — the unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity — could help solve one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology, new research suggests.

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Tim Hsieh of Canada’s Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. We explore some of today’s hottest topics in quantum science and technology ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An abstract illustration of quantum particles entangling. New research aims to unite gravity with ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

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 ...

Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if you analyze the ashes of the fire, the smoke and the flames to re-create ...
