Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A illustration shows a quantum experiment investigating gravity on a tiny scale. Scientists have determined a way to measure ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure and stability of matter. Now an international collaboration of physicists ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

A new study has been published that further complicates the argument that gravity could be explained using quantum entanglement. If true, this could further complicate efforts to explain how gravity ...

Artistic representation of the implemented photonic experiment in which entanglement between the polarizations of single photons is mediated by the independent degree of freedom of the photon path.

A new experiment will test the notion that gravity, one of the fundamental forces in the physical world, relies upon quantum physics to work. If so, it would further indicate the centrality of quantum ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other. Quantum theory governs particles and fields, while Einstein’s gravity describes ...

Detecting a graviton — the hypothetical particle thought to carry the force of gravity — is the ultimate physics experiment. Conventional wisdom, however, says it can’t be done. According to one ...
