Research led by scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and Stanford University has demonstrated ...

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Alex May, whose research explores the intersection of quantum ...

A new framework for understanding the nonmonotonic temperature dependence and sign reversal of the chirality-related ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

A restless state, known as a quantum spin liquid, could unlock new kinds of particles and serve as a foundation for quantum ...

This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum mechanics was proposed. The theory hardly needed the extra publicity, though ...

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...
