Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a significant discovery regarding ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

The white pickup truck pulls up to a decommissioned space observatory on top of Mount Blue Sky, one of Colorado’s famous “14ers,” mountains that reach more than 14,000 feet high. The scene is stark on ...

A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...
