Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

Quantum physics and gravitational physics remain separate due to the vastly different scales of time and space that they refer to. Now, research may point to links between them.

However, for all the advances we’ve made in witnessing the more readily observable, macro effects of gravity, there remains a gap — a chasm, really — in our ability to understand gravity in the ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” ...

Spacetime geometry, and therefore gravity, emerges from quantum entanglement, analyses using tensor networks show.

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.

Physics in the 20th century was built on two great revolutions: the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. These two theories have profoundly changed the way we think about space, time ...

With quantum mechanics the undisputed king of the small, and general relativity governing the very large, physics has developed fantastic descriptive power. With one exception: where quantum ...

Quantum mechanics describes the fundamental forces as dynamic, while gravity is geometric and thus doesn’t fit into physics’ standard model.

If built, the experiment might bring us closer to understanding whether the theory of gravity can be reconciled with quantum-mechanical descriptions of the other fundamental forces – a long ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...
