The search for quantum gravity is the next big step in physics, as researchers seek to unify the physics of the very small ...

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

Kellogg Stelle was a professor of physics at Imperial College London for decades until his death last month. In 1977, he developed a particle theory of gravity that’s renormalizable, but the theory’s ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

On January 22, 2025, physicists unveiled a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize our understanding of the ...

A new study has been published that further complicates the argument that gravity could be explained using quantum entanglement. If true, this could further complicate efforts to explain how gravity ...

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence of classic turbulence occurring within swarms of rising gas bubbles. An international team of scientists from the (HZDR), Johns Hopkins University, and Duke Universi ...
