Long and winding road: The Juice space probe taking the long way to Jupiter and its moons – Copyright NASA/AFP/File NASA Scientists have unveiled a new theory that ...

The question of how gravity interacts with the quantum world has long perplexed physicists, but a non-quantum theory of space ...

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a long-predicted phenomenon at the crossroads of relativity and quantum theory. Their ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...

Time has always seemed like the one thing physics could count on. Matter changes, stars die, particles flicker in and out, ...

The Earth’s gravity, manifested as curvature in space and time, is expected to alter the rules of standard quantum theory. An experiment consisting of three quantum computers at different elevations ...

Breakthroughs in science often begin with a simple question and years of tireless exploration. From the way tiny molecules slip through microscopic pores to the staggering behavior of matter near ...

For over a century, scientists have accepted an uneasy truth. Quantum mechanics and relativity, two of the most successful theories in physics, don’t go along. This conflict becomes more apparent when ...

The gauge bosons of the standard model of particle physics are responsible for three of the four known forces in the universe, conveyed through the exchange of virtual bosons. In electromagnetism, the ...
