Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar ...

Quantum ideas describe particles and fields in tiny packages, but general relativity paints gravity as smooth curves in space ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...

That is, until now. In a groundbreaking scientific experiment, a team at Northwestern University’s McCormick School of ...

Werner Heisenberg submitted a paper to Zeitschrift für Physik entitled ‘On quantum-theoretical reinterpretation of kinematic and mechanical relationships’, thus giving birth to quantum mechanics. In ...

Light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, challenging traditional wave-particle thinking.

Physicists have pulled off a cosmic simulation that cracks open one of the universe’s most mind-bending mysteries: are we ...
