If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding ...

Physicists have proposed a radical approach that questions decades of belief about how gravity, spacetime, and quantum mechanics fit together.

Ask almost any physicist what the most frustrating problem is in modern-day physics, and they will likely say the discrepancy between general relativity and quantum mechanics. That discrepancy has ...

The new method, published in the journal Nature Communications, extends this technique to the realm of microscopic detail. "The quantum sensors ... used to efficiently test and optimize active ...

Nevertheless, this paper demonstrates how our quest to understand the quantum realm is still far from complete, says James Cresser, a now retired professor of physics. “This [helps] shake up a ...

The steam-powered world of the industrial revolution may seem far removed from the quantum realm. But this period of dramatic change was bolstered by thermodynamics, which deals with heat ...

When working with the quantum realm, researchers are dealing with the miniscule scale of individual atoms and of photons, the basic particles of light. At this scale, matter does not behave ...
