Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

Researchers at IIT Bombay have proposed a new test, dynamical fidelity susceptibility (DFS), to measure the 'quantumness' of gravity, suggesting that conventional entanglement-based tests may be ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Researchers have developed a method to model a central theory of quantum gravity in the laboratory. Their goal: to decipher previously unexplained phenomena in the quantum world. Gravity is no longer ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

The University of California opened its doors in 1869 with just 10 faculty members and 40 students. Today, the UC system has more than 300,000 students and 265,000 faculty and staff, with 2.5 million ...

A recent study proposes that gravity, the force shaping galaxies and anchoring planets, might not be fundamental after all. Instead, it could arise from entropy, a measure of disorder. The theory, ...
