For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and ...

The weak gravitational pull on a particle just half the mass of a grain of sand has been measured for the first time. This most precise measurement of its kind is a breakthrough towards the quantum ...

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

Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg was rewarded as well, for his varied and continuing contributions to physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth space-time with the jittery world of quantum mechanics. A new wave of ...
