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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...
