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.

Scientists think a new framework for quantum gravity could offer clues about a mysterious 5th fundamental force of nature.

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 ...

For this reason, early researchers dismissed quantum effects in biology, believing cells were just too "warm, wet and noisy" for such delicate phenomena. I took a different approach, turning to open ...

You might say it all started with a spot of hay fever. In June 1925, a young physicist named Werner Heisenberg retreated to the barren island of Helgoland in the North Sea, seeking respite from his ...

A Yale-led project that aims to develop quantum technology into practical applications has been awarded a prestigious grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Erasure Qubits and Dynamic ...

Physicists are making new inroads into the world of post-quantum theories, uncovering what reality may look like on a level deeper and stranger than the already infamously odd quantum theory. In the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

A century after the inception of quantum theory, its unresolved interpretations continue to threaten patent validity and investors’ confidence in quantum technologies. Since its foundation, quantum ...
