As a central hub for scientific exploration, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is dedicated to probing the enigmatic particles that could potentially elucidate the mystery of dark ...

A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

AALTO, Finland — Scientists have potentially solved what many consider physics’ most challenging problem – reconciling Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics, without adding any new ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

Some physicists believe that a fifth fundamental force could be the cause of some observational anomalies. A study is investigating ways to closely examine the trajectories of well-documented ...

There may be a fifth fundamental force of the universe that we haven't documented yet — and, according to new research, our best bet of uncovering it may not lie in deep space, but in objects ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...
