Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

Quantum theory has long treated time as a silent backdrop, a parameter that never jitters even as particles flicker in and ...

Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a non-perturbative, background-independent approach to quantising spacetime that seeks to merge the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity. In this ...

Quantum gravity represents the ambitious quest to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with general relativity, aiming to produce a unified theoretical framework that can describe the ...

There is no question that quantum theory is correct. It’s been proven over and over, both in the lab and through practical achievement. But the question remains: is it always correct? Quantum ...

For those who watch gravitational waves roll in from the universe, GW250114 is a big one. It's the clearest gravitational wave signal from a binary black hole merger to date, and it gives researchers ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

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 ...
