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 ...

Of the four fundamental forces of physics, gravity is the one we’re most familiar with in everyday life, but it’s also the only one that can’t currently be explained by quantum physics. Now scientists ...

Yet according to physics, information is never destroyed. In principle, a burned book is just as readable as the original—if ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

In 1887, one of the most important experiments in the history of physics took place. American scientists Michelson and Morley ...
