A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...

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

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.

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

In the pantheon of modern physics, few figures can match the quiet authority of Gerard ’t Hooft. The theoretical physicist, now a professor emeritus at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, has spent ...
