New unified theory may finally link 2 core pillars of quantum physics
For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.
An artist's impression of the quantum experiment. (Courtesy: University of Southampton) The first technique capable of measuring the pull of gravity on a particle just microns in diameter could aid ...
Funded by the Air Force, Brian Gilchrist and his colleagues are developing a new type of thruster that uses nanoparticles as propellant. Much of the engine is etched directly onto a wafer-thin piece ...
Recent advances in theoretical physics have increasingly highlighted the pivotal role of algebraic structures in unifying particle physics with quantum gravity. These approaches leverage sophisticated ...
Physics is this close to understanding the entire universe. And what lives in this gap? Many physicists think it’s the elusive graviton—the quantum particle of gravity—whose discovery will finally ...
