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.

One of the quietest places in the universe is an unremarkable room on the southern coast of the UK. Here, in one of the University of Southampton’s physics labs, overseen by Hendrik Ulbricht, a ...

Recent discoveries in the realm of physics have pointed to the possibility of time anomalies that challenge our current ...

Understand quantum physics? Neither do we. But you might be able to grasp quantum computing. No question about it, quantum physics is weird. But one offshoot of the science, quantum computing, might ...

As one of the original architects of quantum theory, perhaps our most successful scientific idea, you would think that Niels Bohr would have been interested in the nature of reality. The subjects of ...
