For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

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 ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

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 ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

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