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 ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

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 ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

As well as particle physics, neutrinos touch astroparticle physics, cosmology, astrophysics, nuclear physics and geophysics, ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...
