A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting "spacetime ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

Gravity is supposed to be the most familiar force in nature, yet at the deepest level it remains the least understood. A bold ...

An Antarctic large-scale experiment is striving to find out if gravity also exists at the quantum level. An extraordinary particle able to travel undisturbed through space seems to hold the answer.

Artistic representation of the implemented photonic experiment in which entanglement between the polarizations of single photons is mediated by the independent degree of freedom of the photon path.

Quantum gravity is the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics, the yet-to-be-discovered key to a unified theory capable of explaining both the infinitely large and the ...

(via PBS Space Time) If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple theories that claim to do this, but it’s notoriously ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine standing on a railway platform watching a trolley go past. A girl on the trolley drops a bright red ball. To her, the ball falls ...

You drop a cup and it smashes. I flick a light switch and the bulb glows. Effect follows cause – it is a hard-and-fast rule of the universe. Except, perhaps, at a fundamental level. Because when we ...
