Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and ...

With support from the W. M. Keck Foundation, a Stevens–Yale collaboration is now transforming graviton detection from a ...

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

The prestigious foundation backs high-risk research that challenges scientific convention — a fitting match for Pikovski’s ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

To progress to the next level in understanding reality, we need to combine quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

Scientists aim to build the first graviton detector to explore gravity's quantum nature, despite significant challenges.

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

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

The study of quantum gravity seeks a synthesis between quantum mechanics and general relativity, and Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) has emerged as a promising nonperturbative approach. In CDT, ...
