At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak ...

Physicists have used a novel technique to observe individual atoms interacting in free space for the first time ever. The new ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

A groundbreaking new theory developed by researchers at Aalto University in Finland could bring scientists closer to a ...

To do this, they introduced a novel mathematical object they call the space-time dimension field. This field acts as a kind ...

Gravity is everywhere: pulling at your feet, holding satellites in orbit, and making the Earth spin around the sun. Yet, for ...

The Standard Model is a gauge theory that describes the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces, and it has specific ...

Research from Aalto University could bring together the four fundamental forces of nature under a singular framework ...

Bringing gravity into the fold has been the goal of generations of physicists, who have struggled to reconcile the incompatibility of two cornerstones of modern physics: quantum field theory and ...

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 ...

Quantum ideas describe particles and fields in tiny packages, but general relativity paints gravity as smooth curves in space ...
