For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth curvature of spacetime, the other the jittery statistics of particles and ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...

For decades, you have heard scientists say that most of the universe is missing. They are not being dramatic. They mean it in a literal sense. A huge share of matter in the cosmos cannot be seen or ...

Robert Monjo, Ph.D., mathematics professor at Saint Louis University-Madrid, has introduced a theory that may transform scientists' understanding of gravity and its relationship to quantum physics.

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

Quantum mechanics tells us that a particle can never be perfectly still. But how precisely can it be oriented? A research ...

A gold sphere levitates over a semiconductor with an electrical bias. In new research, engineers at the University of California, Davis, have shown that biased semiconductors can control the Casimir ...

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.
