A new discovery suggests gravitational fields can enable matter to become quantum entangled — and that's even if the concept ...

Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the ...

A recent experiment at Fermilab has delivered intriguing results that challenge standard predictions, adding fuel to the ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

As far as we know, our physical world is governed by four fundamental forces: electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear forces, and gravity. Apart from playing with bar magnets or marveling at the ...

Paul M. Sutter is an astrophysicist at SUNY Stony Brook and the Flatiron Institute, host of "Ask a Spaceman" and "Space Radio," and author of "How to Die in Space." Sutter contributed this article to ...

We explore if there is a true connection between light and gravity. We know that gravity exerts its pull on light, and we have an explanation for why. Actually, we have multiple explanations that all ...

Natalie Paquette spends her time thinking about how to grow an extra dimension. Start with little circles, scattered across every point in space and time—a curlicue dimension, looped back onto itself.
