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

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

The recent confirmation of gravity waves observed by the LIGO project represents a huge breakthrough in physics, verifying Albert Einstein's predictions regarding the effect of mass on space and time ...

The Universe we perceive and view, all around us, isn't representative of what actually exists at a fundamental level. Instead of continuous, solid objects, matter is composed of indivisible quantum ...

Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the elusive graviton—the quantum particle of gravity—whose discovery will finally ...

Up until now, the prospect of anti-gravity technology has been strictly confined to science fiction stories and films alike. However, CERN physicists are set to begin an experiment that may well ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

The General Relativity picture of curved spacetime, where matter and energy determine how these systems evolve over time, has made successful predictions that no other theory can match, including for ...
