For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The same technology behind MRI images of injury or disease also powers nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is used to analyze biological molecules for research ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

With the help of a new experiment, researchers have succeeded in confirming a ten-year-old theoretical study, which connects one of the most fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics -- the ...

Quantum oscillations are typically found in metals, but finding this same “electron wiggle” within the bulk of insulators is a big surprise.

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 ...
