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

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, perfectly described on cosmic scales yet refusing to mesh with the quantum rules that govern everything else. A growing camp ...

Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

It isn’t often that physics produces news that diverts the mainstream media from politics, crime and sports. But, now, in the space of four years’ time, physicists have twice elevated the intellectual ...

Quantum theory and general relativity will only be unified when theory meets experiment Physics in the 20th century was built on two great revolutions: the general theory of relativity and quantum ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...
