At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Quantum chemistry is quietly entering a new phase, one where some of the hardest problems in materials science are finally ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

Last week I wrote about the current state of quantum sensing and quantum computing, including predictions on how soon quantum will be mature enough for practical applications. I recommend you read ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. It was a fair question because that movie and many others toss around the word "quantum" like a magical explanation for technology a layperson ...

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 ...
