Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a significant discovery regarding ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Physicists uncover a universal limit on timekeeping precision, proving that anything from heartbeats to ocean waves can be a ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

The white pickup truck pulls up to a decommissioned space observatory on top of Mount Blue Sky, one of Colorado’s famous “14ers,” mountains that reach more than 14,000 feet high. The scene is stark on ...

A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...
