The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. A newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

'No understanding of or interest in modern physics': Einstein (pictured) was criticised by Oppenheimer - Library of Congress/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images Viewers of Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-hoovering ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

The reconciliation of general relativity and quantum mechanics is one of the biggest challenges in science, one that continues to elude us. Now, a new study by Anjun Chu and colleagues has examined ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

At just 15, Laurent Simons has earned a PhD in quantum physics. Scientists are watching closely as his work and future ambitions could shape next-generation science and human health.

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...
