A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

Trying to solve quantum gravity is frustrating. We have made tremendous progress in quantum theory, but it seems that every ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) is a research area in theoretical physics that formulates fundamental interactions in terms of quantized fields defined over spacetime, unifying special relativity and ...

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.

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...
