Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter ...

In the 18th century, the scientific world was drunk on Newtonian certainty. The universe was a clockwork mechanism, ...

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

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.

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light moves through space at a constant speed has supported some of physics’ most ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...
