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

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

For nearly a century, some of the strangest questions in physics have revolved around how quantum objects move, interact and ...

Quanta Books is delighted to announce two new upcoming books by mathematician Terence Tao and theoretical physicist David Tong. Six Math Essentials will be Tao’s first math book written for a popular ...

Does anyone understand quantum theory? The legendary Richard Feynman suggested that if you think you do, you haven’t understood it at all. But quantum theory is our best description of the microscopic ...

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.

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

Researchers from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, in collaboration with Huzhou University, discovered ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...
