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

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. A new discovery suggests ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

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 ...

Economists have two views on the nation’s economy—stronger-than-expected growth and weaker employment prospects. The split boils down to the forces driving the economy: a boom in investment in ...

Coach Mike Elko has had many stops along his college coaching career timeline. Before spending time at Texas A&M as the defensive coordinator, Elko spent 2017 in the same position at Notre Dame. Texas ...

Gravity is the unseen force that shapes the universe, yet we rarely give it much thought. First explained by Sir Isaac Newton, it is the pull that draws objects toward one another based on their mass ...

Quantum physics is often described as the most successful scientific framework in history. In its 100 years of existence, it has explained everything from the periodic table of the elements to how ...

A new argument explores how the growth of disorder could cause massive objects to move toward one another. Physicists are both interested and skeptical. Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his ...

A theoretical proposal published in the journal Reports on Progress in Physics is making some bold claims about our previous understanding of quantum physics. Mainly, that we were wrong. The proposed ...

Melvin M. Vopson is affiliated with the University of Portsmouth and the Information Physics Institute. We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature – one of the ...

Breakthroughs in science often begin with a simple question and years of tireless exploration. From the way tiny molecules slip through microscopic pores to the staggering behavior of matter near ...
